I officially quit my dream job!
And I couldn't be happier.
Also, this is my 1337th post, which is a 1337 milestone in my Steemit career.
What does this all mean? It means that I now have freedom once again. I've been working for a "cyber security," (ugh, "cyber") company for the past year or so as a Network and Information Security Analyst. My dream job has always been to work professionally in the realm of network and information security that would keep me hands on with cutting edge tech as well as keep my hands on code.
I eventually landed that job after free-lancing as a sole-proprietor for the majority of my adult life. With plenty of room to move around and up, the future was mine! My path was at my discretion. But then I realized . . . that I don't handle authority well. Never have, never will. I also don't operate well with having someone else dictate my schedule or having someone else have the authority to lock me down to one geographic location. I require freedom of movement and well, just straight up freedom I guess.
What would or could possibly give me that, that would encourage me to quit the job I've spent a life-time seeking? I will tell you:
The Blockchain World.
I've been in this space for a very, very long time. Surrounded by your typical POW blockchain up until roughly 2014/2015, I forget. POW is gross, we all know that. It's all about Graphene! It's all about DPOS.
I won't go too much further into detail . . . yet! But you will all know my/our plans very soon. We will be announcing some things in the very near future, so follow and stay tuned!!! Exciting things are in the works, and if you're a player in this space, we've got some nice stuff to bring to the table. Being able to use existing and future tech to create an absolutely win-win scenario for both ourselves, the people we're surrounded by, and our end users is such an amazing thing. It feels great and I can't wait to bring it all to light.
Aaaahhhhhhhhhh!!! It feels so good!!! FREEDOM!!!
That's all I've got for now. Well, aside from this picture of @kotturinn that I popped from around a corner and took by surprise of her yelling for me. She's going to kill me, she hates this picture! EDIT: She's already demanding that I take it down; NOPE!!!
Until next time!
