Well, it was closer to a year, 6 months, and a week, as it so happens.  Turns out I&#8217;ve already worked for my current employer longer than I worked for Ro.  And while I have complaints about my employer (of course) I don&#8217;t feel an urgent need to exit.  Plus, the nutjobs seem to like me.  <\/p>\n<p>I feel like I&#8217;m stagnating, and like this job, for all its wonderful task change, won&#8217;t break me out of the rut.  This evening after work the new hires were out at a bar, and we were talking about stuff.  One of the topics that came up was the simple model that encompasses 90% of our titles.  &#8220;Progress has been made, but further work is necessary.&#8221;  I&#8217;ve been lucky to get more interesting work than that mostly.  <\/p>\n<p>If I&#8217;m being opportunistic about my employment, I certainly haven&#8217;t milked this experience for all that it&#8217;s worth.  Another rapid raise likely awaits me in July.  I&#8217;ve been told that a promotion within a year (or a little over that) is certainly not out of the question.  <\/p>\n<p>My love life is in a &#8220;no prospectives and no good source for new prospectives&#8221; mode.  The last one was either not interested, or excessively busy, which amounts to the same thing, really.  <\/p>\n<p>Housing is changing in a couple months.  Less than that.  By april.  Need to get ass in gear on hunt.  The roommmate still doesn&#8217;t know whether he&#8217;ll be here or in LA in April.  Great.  I could just up and move to Seattle, without severely compromising the fiscal gains or chance at promotion.  But completely resetting my social life.  <\/p>\n<p>My life ain&#8217;t so bad.
