I am southern! (sort of)

Welp, went out to the DMV durring lunch today and got my very first ever non-MI drivers license (nope, never got an OH one). Kind of cool and exciting for me. Personally I view and as my deciding to settle here. While there were a few decent reasons not to change when I was living in OH, I mostly never got a license there because I never really intended on staying in that state for long. In fact I played it exactly how I thought I would, worked there a couple years, built up the resume experience and moved on. Now I am much happier, and actually really excited with the prospect of starting a life here.

In related news, the current employer has informed me to except a 10% raise or so in August. I can't beleive it, it's totally amazing too me. The best the previous employer ever did in 2 years was just a tad over 6%. Now lets consider that I was a fairly solid programmer, I constantly liked to make systems better, I had more experience and time there than any other actual programmer at the time I quit (beaten only by the programming dept manager that left the company at the same time) and really liked helping out others as much as I could. So, yay for NC and my new job and the new life I'm starting. :)
