Its snowing here in VA today. Its the first "proper" snow that I am seeing after the "snow in the morning, sun in the afternoon" gimmicks that happen in Dallas. The flurries are so pretty to watch.
I remember the first time it snowed in Dallas(first time after I arrived in the US) in 2004. It was on the 14th of Feb. Bonnie came running in the middle of the night and woke us up. We were all so thrilled to see the flakes sway down to the ground and pile up. I played all morning in the snow and hated to go to work. By the time I returned, half the snow was gone but the excitement remained.
It snowed again later that year but not so much. Just enough to cover the cars and grass with an inch of snow. It was around the same time that I got my cellphone with a camera(Sanyo PM 8200) and took a lot of snaps of my snow topped car with it.
Hey..I got a job!!!
I got a job 50 days after my graduation. It has given me not only a source of income, but also confidence and a sense of my worth.
on Jan 23rd, I saw a job posting on washington post and applied to it. On the 24th, I had a phone screen and on the 27th I was invited for an in-house interview. After a 2 hr tech grilling, I was offered the job. Its a nice feeling to be part of an org where your contribution means a lot. I like the sense of camaraderie that exists between all the team members.
I passed the first couple of days at work reading documentation. I generally find this the most boring part. But this time, the project is so interesting that I really was very interested. Ofcourse there were a couple of times when I could hardly supress my yawns....still, reading the documentation did help in giving me a better understanding of the project architecture. I have been given a Dell Latitude, a cute cabin and the option to telecommute.
Its been a week now and I know I took the right decision in accepting the offer.
