Talk about positive enforcement on your career choice...

For the past five years, I have been studying to become a Software Engineer. I found it fitting that on my last day of undergraduate classes for this career, I hear about a news article in Money magazine saying the Best Job to have is in fact, Software Engineer. For the record, I felt they missed one of the best things under the "What's Cool" section: basing the quality of your work environment on how expensive a foosball table your company has.

So this is where I start to sound really arrogant: I now figure I have the best job out there, at one of the 20 best companies to work for in/around Boston. Boston is clearly the best of all major US cities, you can find a number of reasons why here (and yes, the Mike mentioned in this link I believe is me). Finally, when our Boston apartment lease is up in September, Becky and I plan to move to Newton, which continues to be rated the safest city in America.

Not to be forgotten, I have my health, happiness, fun friends, a loving family and a beatiful fiance (still getting used to that word, though).

All in all, things are pretty good.

Ok, that's my ego trip. I promise that won't happen again for a long time, but I had to throw all that out there in one uberpost.
