Lonely Blog

Three months of no updates? Blogging was just another thing I tried to do that wasn't video games that I ended up losing interest in. Mostly because no one is here, but also because time and stuff. I promised my fiancée that for every blog post that she makes I'll force one out in return so here goes.

But beyond video games I've also been pretty busy with work, I can't remember what I've posted on here before but I'm a Computer Engineering student, currently in my third year and on a work term right now, although its soon to be over (end of April), then its back to school so who knows maybe posts bitching about school and stuff.

But for now I wanted to talk about my job because I really love it there. I work for a small internet marketing company called Simplycast.com. Its a great work enviroment and everyday I enjoy going to work, I'm a PHP Developer. One of the things I really enjoyed about my entire co-op there (although this is my first co-op) is that they treat you like a real employee. I'm not being babysat or treated like some kid everyone has to put up with, I'm trusted to work on and deliver features for their live product, where if mistakes happen, it could potentially hurt clients.

Because of this I feel like I've gained a lot of real-world experience, also gotten better at programming but the project management skills and experience is what I'll really carry forward.

So yeah, in closing: great place to work, great people and work environment. I've had a lot of fun there, but everyday is still a new challenge. I'm hoping to go back next term if they'll take me.
