Changes at Midnight

[pilfered_words]

1) Today I signed the offer for an real, actual full time position at my company. With a real, actual salary. Not a large salary, mind you, but calculated in K per year, not $ per hour. With benefits, paid time off, and so on. As of Monday, I will be officially a Junior QA Engineer.

 

2) I signed up to beta for Yuletide! That should, in theory, go better than my abortive attempt at writing for Yuletide four years ago. I’m a lot better at editing than creating. (See also: QA Engineer.)

 

3) I spent what felt like about half of today explaining to people that the reason for the video and audio service in our “virtual classroom environment” being down was the huge DDOS attack, and that there was nothing we could do about it. And our software engineer left halfway through the day and abandoned me to deal with it alone.

 

Now I’m going to go watch the Skate America ladies short program, excuse me. I paid real money for icenetwork this year, I’m damn well going to get what I paid for.
