Happening in the last two months

I haven't posted an update in a while due to several factors, one is that I've been fairly busy with finishing my coursework for my last semester as an undergraduate, and two is that I've been doing a lot of partying.

I finally got a job as a consultant/IT specialist with IBM Application Innovation Services, which is both exciting and somewhat overwhelming. Previously, I've only been employed by public sector government entities, which are typically considered some of the laziest jobs on the face of the Earth. This is pretty much true, as I've based my performance in these jobs on Peter Gibbon's philosohpy in Office Space of "working just hard enough to not get fired". I'm used to being lazy and not facing any consequences, but I do know I have the capacity to work hard if I enjoy something and find it challenging. Also, they're paying me a ridiculous amount of money, so I have a huge incentive compared to my past jobs where I've earned no more than $15-17/hour.
