RE: I Sit Before My Desk and Think

You did pretty darn good for an ole' Hoosier boy. Maybe some day you can share with me how you ended up in Japan.

Thanks! 😃

It's actually a pretty simple story: I came over for work. I graduated college around when the dotcom bubble burst, and so the gatekeepers were in full force preventing people from even applying to tech jobs unless they had tons of experience in pretty much everything (or were willing to lie on their resume, which I never was), so I looked abroad and Japan seemed a good place to camp out for a few years. That few years became a quarter of a lifetime, so far, and still going.

That worked out well then. Not a bad quarter of a lifetime then.

So far anyway!

It's been a while since I've made it home for a trip. Next time that happens, let's meet up if possible, and talk about it more.

That would be great. I’m at the southern end of the state but I’m sure we can make it work somehow.
