Catch-up on life

[tsaiko]

It's been about five years since I last posted on LJ, and Tumblr really didn't work well for text posts. So I figured I'd go over some things I've been doing in that time. In the last five years, I have:

• Changed jobs multiple times (sometimes voluntary, sometimes... less so)


• Lost the other one of my old kitties


• Gained three other cats


• Had two trees almost fall on my house


• Became a licensed drone pilot


• Traveled to Canada (Toronto) for business


• Went into business for myself


• Decided going into business for myself was not my thing


• Continued working on my Spanish comprehension


• Started learning Norwegian (aka Bokmål)


• Learned some of the basics of Python, Javascript, Java, and Android programming


• Confirmed that while I know a lot of bits and pieces of programming, I am not a programmer


• Did a stint working in the field of Emergency Management


• Worked for a start-up company


• Was let go from said start-up company when it did not start as well as initially planned

It's been an interesting time to say the least.
