the corporate work environment
i tend to talk about how much i like my job in here, but i think i've forgotten to mention something that just bugs me about this place: it's too corporate.
sure, as companies go, this one isn't very corporate at all. we have cubicles (sort of) but the boss has an open-door policy that makes the atmosphere very friendly. all to often though, i get this feeling that no one here knows how to enjoy their time on the job... at least not like i like me.
i'm sitting here writing code for this new site, and i'm listening to some fun ska-like tunage on my headphones and i'm in reasonably good spirits sorta grooving to my own world between those earphones... and i look around. everyone else is staring blankly at a screen lost in numbers and screen resolution and i can't help but wonder: am i in the right place?
moshpit was definitely more my kind of place.

that's because you're more laid back and well, your work is different than theirs. the others have to work with clients and sales so the mind is focussed on what's on the screen (although you never know, they could be intensely chatting with someone online).
lucky you get to listen to music at work...

"moshpit was definitely more my kind of place."
In that case, I'd recommend applying to an animation studio.
The vibes in those places are similar to what Moshpit had going on...

i just might... when i go home in a few years. at the moment, i like this job too much and it offers me so many chances to learn more that leaving would just be dumb. but being a sysadmin at bardell or something could be cool...
or maybe vfs? now that'd be neat.

no, i put the url in there manually (well my browser remembers for me) each time. the idea being that it's not only you reading this stuff, but complete strangers that don't know that this daniel is in fact the one who runs this thing. maybe i should create an icon or something? i dunno...
as for the typo, you're right. my bad. it's fixt now.
....and so's yours ;-) "your" is not the same as "you're".
