New friend Lucy! Yay!

Nothing horribly exciting has been happening lately. The only possible exception is that I'm pretty set on finding a new opportunity. My current job is nice and all, but I want something more. I want to do more and get paid more. Instead of adding a few sentences here, a new button to such and such menu, or changing the title from red to navy -- I want to be doing more programming!

Technically I am an applications developer at this company, but I certainly don't feel like one. I end up doing pretty much everything when it comes to websites and a little application development here and there. Thankfully there is someone there part-time that takes care of a fair bit of the tedious requests... but he's here because there are so many tedious requests that I wouldn't be able to get anything valuable done in a day. Certainly nothing to pay my pithy salary.

Anyway -- I have to get my website done this week and start handing out my resume. Hopefully I'll find something that's contract as I want to end up freelancing or starting a small business with a few of the right people.

Well... I'm off to brunch at the good ol' Skyline and then coffee/tea at the knitting cafe.

Yes. I learned how to knit. And I like it.
