success

granted i worked till 8:30 today, but it was one of those days where i felt pretty good about my work.  i'm definitely a work to live not live to work type, but occasionally i get into my work when it's interesting.  today was a day where we were able to accomplish a lot, and got some things working i never thought would work.

i've been at this job for over 6 years now, my first and only job out of college.  i've done a lot of interesting things, going to taiwan, travelling to several customer sites, going to conferences, teaching training classes, etc.  pretty standard job stuff for most people i would say.  every once in a while though i remember that my dad has never seen me in this phase of life.  unfortunately, he passed away about a month before i graduated college.  i had already accepted this job, so he knew i had it, but never to to see me working.  i think he really would have gotten a kick out of the machines i work with and the technology.  days like today are days i wish i could have called him and said "hey dad, guess what happened at work today ..."  i guess even to a lesser extent, i wish he could have seen a little bit of this phase of my life, my adult life.
