I painted in college and it was a very satisfying to finish a job and look on the completed work as you were packing everything up to move on to the next one and I worked a product development job and getting your product working and going up for sale was similar. contract work could be like that to as it had a definitive goal. Unfortunately most other jobs did not have those defined accomplishment times.

Yeah, that feeling accomplishing something is really important. Been working for a product company since June 2024 when I finished a project I actually felt like I made something tangible, unlike in most companies I worked in, where accomplishments are really hazy and undefined. Today you are working on one thing and tomorrow on another thing.

yeah hazy and undefined has been my location since 2010. Did make this slick backup system for a small company that got me jazzed. Oh man I used to work in a research lab at a univeristy and we had this regular cadence of shows plus each grant pretty much resulted in us putting together a system that had a purpose and was shown off at the shows. so fullfilling.
