Last Day

Today is my last day at SkyWay USA. It's been an interesting run, to say the least.

Next week begins a new direction in both my life and my career as an IT professional. For starters, I am beginning my 5-year plan a year and a half early. I don't really think that this makes any major difference in my experience and expertise, at least not as much as I thought it would.

I've learned something interesting over the past two weeks: I am an extremely unique individual in a field full of intelligent and knowledgeable people. Apparently, most Microsoft people stick with Microsoft products and Linux/Open Source people tend to stick with Linux and Open Source applications. I'm one of the rare kinds of people who blend both sides together to put forth the best possible product.

Also, I've learned that because of my unique abilities, it is damn near impossible to find a single replacement for me at SkyWay. People who know people have been looking, and can't find anyone to match my expertise and knowledge. It's a bit of an ego boost, to say the least, but it's also nice to know that everything that I've put my time and effort into has created me a unique nitch that is difficult to fill. As a result, I have discovered that I can also fill unique positions that no one else can fill.

I guess I need to go through my resume and update it a bit to reflect my uniqueness.

Anyhow, I'm excited about joining the Solarity Group. This is the company that I'm going to. The people that I have met thus far have been absolutely fantastic towards me, and I really feel that they will help me broaden my horizons even more. They've even offered me the ability to teach others my knowledge of IT.

Anyhow, that's all I got for now.
