Good is Good, But Not Great.

I finally heard back from Azure, I didn't get it. They went with someone less technical and more of an administrator. At least that is the official word. I know what really happened. They couldn't compete with what the bank is paying me. <sarcasm>What a let-down. I guess I'll have to suffer with shorter hours and more pay.</sarcasm>

The only thing I really don't like about my job is trying to describe it to people.
"I'm a Lotus Domino programmer for the largest bank in the world," I say.
Their eyes start to glaze over.
I explain further, "I write applications for their intranet."
Their eyes glaze over even more.
I sigh and say, "I like it because the money is good and I can leave it behind at the end of the day and go home and paint."
That they understand.

I need to get my ass out to more arts events.

Heh, is "forever" an acceptable answer? My mom has this painting of a tree that I did when I was 7 that is so clearly a precursor to my current tree paintings.

But I didn't *really* start painting until about 1989. You can take a look at my stuff on my personal website http://www.mbarrick.net - just click on "portfolio". It defaults to the paintings. Use the drop down to switch media if you want to see drawings and other things.
