Boring old work stuff
We had a nice ra-ra meeting yesterday to explain about how great our company is now that we merged with another company and are publicly listed. The sandwiches were good quality so I'm willing to be optimistic. It's generally accepted that the project I'm working on is doomed, but also that it's not really our fault (the 6-7 of us working on it). They also want to give us all stock options, but I think I'll reserve judgement on that one until it happens. The most positive thing to come out of the meeting is that they are gung-ho about training and career development at the moment, and I think I could do with some training. Oddly, I'm kind of interested in going into business analysis. I've got more of an attention span for that kind of thing than for coding, honestly. In any case, I'll apply for maybe .NET training some time soon after the baby comes. When I got my Visual Basic certifications, I just read a book and got IBM to pay for the exam, so maybe I can do that this time around as well if training's hard to come by.
