1. What do you do for a living?
Systems programmer. Right now, that means I write diagnostics for chips -- ten-line programs that take me days to get just so.

2. What do you like most about your job?
It requires creativ... The intellectual challenge... I feel good about the contribution I... okay, free Coke.

3. What do you like least about your job?
It's full-time, and thus interferes with my life.

4. When you have a bad day at work it's usually because _____...
...someone's lack of planning becomes my emergency.

5. What other career(s) are you interested in?
Just about the only ones I have NO interest in are sales, politics, or courtroom law. I'm just not into power over others* or coercion of any stripe. The rest I could see myself enjoying.

Astronaut. Aerobatic pilot, either teaching or in airshows. Making baby-blanket quilts. Fiction writer. Line editor or copyeditor. Financial coach (advice: quit spending lots of money on financial advice). Pastry chef.

That's this week. Many others are on the back burner.

* Unless someone asks very nicely.

LOL!!

Good seeing you at Mary's party, btw - wish we'd gotten more time to talk, but I don't do very well in large groups.

It was good to see you, too! Are you back in India now, or still in California? How's the interview process going?
