Programmer now…

Unfortunately, I’m grounded in Ottawa for a little while. My boss isn’t quite sure what to do with me, because I’m kind of useless outside the field. I was trained to be a field processor. So for the last few days, I’ve been testing some software.

This morning, out of the blue, I was asked to develop some software. In C. It’s an amazing coincidence (see last post), and given what it’s for I’m really looking forward to it. I have about a 2 month timeline to accomplish this, which given the parameters, seems doable.

I signed up with a degree in Physical Geography. I was debating going into computer science. Now I have a job that:

  • Let’s me travel around the world.
  • Has the title of “field geophysicist.”
  • Allows me to combine it with my hacking passion.

w00t!
