Started my new job last week and I must say that I LOVE IT!

I have all of the responsibilty of a freelancer, the budget of a very successful company, and a regular (and pretty damn good) salary.

I have great benefits, good healthcare, and colleagues I respect.

I get to travel with my role, and will enjoy meeting all of the different people at all of our locations. Luckily, our headquarters is close to home.

My title is a very formal one, and luckily most people do not see that as threatening, I think.

I really love my role as well. I spend equal amounts of time developing and designing at the moment, and I get great pleasure from the two. In the coming months I will be implementing new information systems and streamlining current ones, so it looks like I will have plenty of challenges.

The people I work with are very professional and carry vast amounts of knowledge. I have learned so much in the past two weeks about this industry, and I am sure there is much much more to learn.
