I work on the web. Reality is, I love doing that. While I may never learn how the parts of an engine fit together to make a car run, I want to understand everything I can about the moving parts of web sites. I like being able to make things appear online, having them rank well in search engines and influencing people simply by what I post.
I look for new jobs sometimes. I’m pretty open about that. It’s important to me that I know my options and what I have to be accomplishing to remain competitive. Occasionally I will see a position that tempts me, but I know I don’t want to stray too far from the internet. (Except for gift wrapping. Internet, if you know anybody hiring for a gift wrapper, you let me know!)
One part of my job that I have particularly enjoyed has been working with interns. I like teaching them the intricacies of web sites. I love teaching them knew skills and watching as everything starts to click.
My baby brother (not exactly a baby at almost 25) called me last night about a web site project he and his friend are interested in. They want to schedule a meeting with me so I can review their plan and see what’s realistic. I love it! Of all of my siblings, my brother is the most like me. I’m excited to work with him and teach him what I know so that this new site, with it’s ridiculous but hilarious concept, will be successful.
I wonder if I could find a position as a gift wrapper / teacher of smart-ass web site making???
