The First Brick of Babel

Welcome to 2016, a momentous year for me. My first year as a college graduate. My first year outside of that industry called education. My first year… to be determined. The short story there being: very short.
I have no particular plan for my immediate or long term future.

I get asked what my plans are a LOT lately; however experience has taught me that planning is often just a way of designing disappointments. I find myself in front of a clean slate. A fresh start. So before I start buying furniture for my own tower of babel, I figure I should see where the first brick lands.

This does not mean that I am lost for what to do. I have passions, ambitions, expectations, and ideas.  All of which will guide me into the future. I have a degree in Computer Science, and a LinkedIn profile which improves every day; I’m not about to pack my bags, hop on to a plane and hunt the Yeti through the Swiss Alps.

Then Again, if any Yet-Hunting-Expeditions feel like they could use a Software Engineer and can offer a reasonable compensation package, call me. Which may or may not be ‘the point.’ I was in Oregon Wednesday, standing on a fourteen foot snow drift at Crater Lake. Now I’m in a T-Shirt warm inside my apartment in Boston, and I’m not sure where I’ll be in another two days.

It was very hard to keep my eyes open in the Glare.
Crater Lake, Orgeon
