What’re you doin’ New Year’s?

The past year, while not perfectly horrible, has been the sort of thing that one merely tries to live through, and hopes that something better comes along. I tried to review the year in terms of personal accomplishments or even pleasant memories, and I really don’t have much except a continuous sense of daily grind. The one thing I feel I can really point to isn’t even so much a this year thing, as an anticipation of next year: I managed to negotiate a new position with my employer that will allow us to move back to Chicago by February. It’s also a better–;although not immediately better-paying–;position. It’s within the company’s new enterprise Data Architecture group, to which I will be the first hire. This would appear to offer much better-fitting career potential than I have had as a member of a software development team. I’ll be reporting directly to the Director, who also happens to be a world-class data architect, with exactly the skills I want to have when I grow up. I’m pretty exited about both the new professional situation, and the move.

So here’s to the passing of a miserable year, and to better days in the year ahead—;.
