Success and ambition
 Its been ages since I blogged, please forgive me.  :)

I've been cranking away at work making software and verifying what I suspected, I'm better at managing than doing actual work.  Not that managing isn't hard work in its own fashion but I'm definately more productive helping others be productive than grinding away on things on my own.

I've gotten some rave reviews from those I work for and gotten a lot of concrete results.  I still feel like I could do a way better job with more expereince and more preperation but so far so good.  After only 6 months I've been offered something of a promotion.  Instead of driving the used car I've been offered the new experimental model, and can keep the old car too if I like.  I was even offered to set the terms of said assignment to some extent.

The only tricky bit is there is little time to strategize or ponder.  Desicions are needed soon.  I've either got to pass on the opportunity or double down on my 6 months of expereince and apparent natural talent.  Its already a very challenging job so I'll need good strategy to make this work. All those years of gaming are paying off amusingly enough.

I'm sure I'll be doubling down.  Its my time to be ambitions for a while I think.  But I've got to do this right or it could be the end of a pretty sweet run of successes.
