This morning, as I am walking out the door, I get a call from Brian asking if I want to get coffee. While talking on the phone I switch hands, grab the door, and close it… only to realize I left my house keys inside on my desk. Oops, at least I have my car keys and my shoes (more explanation on the shoes next week).

So while at work I randomly start wondering how long I’ve been with the company. I’m pretty bad at deleting email so I figure I probably have an email from my first day. Sure enough, the first email in my Inbox is there still and dated 3/17/04. Wow, it’s been exactly a year today! I yell over to my boss, “Hey I’ve been here for a whole year, and the company is still around and doing well! Knock on… oh shit I don’t have any wood to knock on!”

Coincidentally, the last time I locked myself out of my apartment was exactly a year ago on my first day working for Reasoning… In almost the same way.
