I fly fairly frequently from where I live now to my hometown. It’s a convenient trip because there are two conveniently located mini-boss sized airports close to both places. The (un)fortunate thing about mini-boss sized airports is that they only attract the budget airline offerings. When you purchase flights through these low-spec’d airlines, they try and swindle you by charging you for making choices, like do you want to bring any bags? How about choose a seat to sit in the plane? At first, I thought choosing a seat was part of the fare: these slippery execs won’t let me fly unless I have a boarding pass AND a seat ticket! I’ve learned however, that it is a false choice.

What’s a ‘Real’ Job?

Previous to the ‘real’ job I got, I had worked a handful of other jobs, some were even related to my field of work, computer wizardry. What made this job different from my previous internships and odd-job contract work, was that this job payed a salary, and a pretty good one for taking a “beginner”. I thought I would chronicle the experience for other software developers out there curious of what one random anon’s experience was like.
