My last day of freedom...

Welcome to hell. A huge company, and a health care company no less! But hey, good luck. Marc
Heh. In this case, it's out of the fire, and into the frying pan. I was working for LandAmerica Title before, which was a huge company...and a title insurance company, no less! ;P At least Cardinal has a forward-thinking vision for technology. With few exceptions, the title industry just doesn't get technology. It was an uphill battle to get the higher-ups to realize that they had to invest in technology. So I'm looking forward to being part of a group of people that actually has funding and support for what they're trying to do. So yeah, I know about the hell I'm entering. But you know what, I'm okay with it. For right now, I'm selling my soul for money. If, at some point, I decide that I'd like my soul back, I'll start doing my own thing. That'll be a bit down the road, though. :)

Ah, so you're an old hand at this :) In that case, I'll say it again, best of luck man :)

Of course they don't. They sell a product in a market where there's little to no price based competition. :doh:

It's not. I've been doing this stuff for the last 7 years. And I've done everything from your standard, run-of-the-mill coding to being responsible for the designs of large systems and seeing that the various groups were doing The Right Thing. Some parts of the job are more fun than others, but in the end, I just like building things. :)

Hey, even in California picking strawberries there are child labor laws...working since your 14...Hmmmm :laugh: :laugh: Ooops...Gratz man, Good Luck!
You're allowed to work at 14, under child labor laws, as long as it's only part time. ;) Thanks though. :)

Well, when you do, if I'm still alive and kicking, we should check in with each other. :) Marc

So, I've been taking some time off since I finished school in December to really figure out what I wanted to do now. It's an odd feeling, not having anything that anybody's telling you that you have to do. Anyway, I finally decided I was getting bored of being aimless and, after looking at a bunch of different jobs, I finally found one that looks exciting. On Monday, I'll be starting my new job as a Senior Software Engineer (yes, I'm 21 and a "senior" software engineer. Ironic, eh?) at Cardinal Health[^], here in San Diego. I'll be working on the new revision of their Pyxis[^] line of products, which means that I get to play with new Microsoft stuff, rather than old Microsoft stuff. The cool part is that, because it's so early in the lifecycle, I get to be involved in architectural decisions and the like, which is some of my favorite stuff. :) Time to go update that bio...

Congrats. Now try slapping a type on your post, see if it works for anyone besides me.

The whole post type thing is stupid and pointless because 99% of posts are made with the default. :laugh:

My former boss worked at Cardinal Health for two years. Don't know if she liked it or not.

Heh. No thanks. BTW, I added a keyboard shortcut for QuickRefresh. Although I'm unhappy with the finger acrobatics it takes to press Ctrl+Alt+R, so I'm going to change it to Alt+Q (for QuickRefresh).
