I'm a bit of an expert on that.

    So today I had my first review as a regular employee at work.

    As I expected I got a very good review. It is also important to note that I am out to my manager.

    After the review my manager said, "Just a word of advice as you are new to this. You should not discuss your review results with others. Some may try to pry it out, but don't tell them."

    I looked at her and said "Don't worry I am a bit of an expert at hiding things about myself". She laughed and said, oh yeah that's right you've had a lot of practice at that. We both got a good laugh out of it.

    Hehe. That almost sounds scripted. I love moments like that!

    Funny. Glad it went well.

    My reviews are coming up soon. Hope to get the highest raise (percent wise) in the store again. Maybe they will figure out what they will do with me too.

    I'm a software engineer, that is the short answer.

    The long answer is a lot of stuff.

    I write very little code. My job is sales enablement, supporting the field. Most of our work is in demos and proof of concepts for our customers. So I spend about half of my time on our IT infrastructure. The rest I do some project management and a lot of planning. And I mean a lot. Seems like I am always making a diagram or a chart of some sort. I also do some systems programming. I like that and plan to spend more time on it. The best part about systems programming is that nothing is impossible. If you can't do it, just change the system.

    The thing I like most is the technology I work with. Last year I got to design and implement a new storage area network. That was awesome. I got to play work with equipment that cost in excess of $2 million dollars.
