I can't make out where I am in this photo, but I remember the day we went to that park en masse to take the picture, and my autograph is there. For a fleeting slice of time, I bask in the transcendence of the moment.
The company gave me the break I needed to make the transition from engineering to software development. The pay wasn't stellar, but it was a great company to work for , and I still use and recommend the product to this day.
I still mention my experiences frequently in discussions at my current job, mostly as reminiscences, but sometimes as precedents for how we might do things. My current boss joked that sometimes I speak of the company like an ex-girlfriend that I just can't quite get over.
