The jobs, the projects, the teams - they're all indexed in my living-query.

I haven't yet come across any old friends, but I have managed to keep many from yesteryear. That's one thing that always helped me be a stronger developer, was working with a good team.

Some of my friends and I have actually done as you said, and went from job to job together. So we don't simply get a nice new paycheck, but we are assured that we have our traveling foundation of one-another.

I'm still curious how it feels to be a guy and say, "I worked at Mary Kay"...guess I'll never know - or will I? Haha. I'm new here, but I already enjoy reading your material.

Best of luck with all future experiences.
