I am really enjoying my new job. In fact, sometimes I think to myself "why didn't I do this sooner?" Then I remember that I probably couldn't. When they ("they" in the generic sense) hire for these types of jobs, usually they need you to have some experience under your belt and to have paid your dues. I have paid my dues, and I think that I have possibly overpaid this past year. In a way, I might be receiving some karmic remittance.
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't learn something new. I'm now in a different-but-related specialty, so in addition to just learning how to do my job, I'm learning how to practice in a completely different area. I'm surrounded by really great people, and there is very little competition between us. It's good. No, I take that back: it's great.
Here's a random question: do boys basically act the same way towards you if they like you, regardless of how old they are? does a 35 year old boy act the same way as a 12 year old boy? do they treat you at arm's length and find some excuse--and excuse-to contact you? if you send them a communique, do they immediately respond...but only in a veiled manner? and what is the 35 year old equivalent of pulling on a girl's pigtails? is it teasing her about her career prospects? just some food for thought.
