So I'll start by saying that I know I've been gone from this site for too long. Honestly, its come to the point where I don't even include a link to here in my resume. I need to get back on the bus with this stuff...

The update! So it's mid COVID-19 troubles and needless to say I am having a rough time of it. I had a wonderful job with a company that I cared about and I did work that was interesting and challenging and I had a chance there to learn and grow while I worked. That was at Zephyr Technologies, a company spun out of a need to improve sleep apnea remedies that was being driven by John E. Remmers. I had fun there, I liked my team there, and I feel like I made a difference there. But nothing lasts forever, especially not the good things, and the company had to downsize in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. There are no hard feeling about letting me go; I wish they didn't have to but they did, so that was a thing.

I've started work with Bode Canada (I'm not even gonna bother with their funny accented 'o'). It's interesting work, I'm learning a new JavaScript toolset, and there is lots of work to do. I'm not sure that I like Vue.js better than React.js, but that might just be because of how the project I'm working on blatantly disregards recommended coding style and in a lot of cases I've seen already the Vue.js style guide. I'm working remote in this job. I hate working remote in this job. I'm a social programmer; I like to hear the team when problems arise, I like to share an office space, I like being able to chat with coworkers over lunch. Remote work offers none of this, and my home is now my office as well (I need  bigger apartment :-P)

That's really all I've got going for me at the moment. Times are tough. Gotta stay healthy. Gotta stay sane. Gotta socially distance (I know it's less of a problem in my city than it is elsewhere, but I'm expecting a resurgence).
