Surprise
I recently carpooled to a programming competition at Whitworth with some other students and one of our instructors. During the trip, I made mention of a friend of mine who had recently graduated from EWU and taken a job on the west side, and how I would like to head over there after graduation as well. The instructor, who was driving, told me that he knew that this person was making somewhere in the range of $65K-$75K a year. I expressed my suprise at such an immense starting wage, but the instructor downplayed it as “average”. This was far more surprising to me than the initial surprise at the wage amount. It would seem I have very positive things in the future.
I will begin my search in January.
Barack Obama was elected president, which you knew of course, but I’m a blogger so I’m obligated to mention blog-ey things like that. I’m glad.
I’ve been getting in to Team Fortress 2 lately, since I purchased the orange box quite a while ago and figured I should make full use of it. TF2 is really fun, and reminds me of when I used to play TF1.
This blog post will probably remind you that I’m a terrible writer, and can be quite dry. Better luck next time I ’spose.
