I got my first paycheck yesterday. Time sure goes fast when you like what you're doing. My first assignment was simply to slice up a layout and put it on a Web site. One of my two bosses was glad when I showed him that everything was in CSS, without a single table. The second project I'm working on now is entirely running on ColdFusion. I've done very little CF before, but surprisingly enough, after just a few days, I was able to actually enjoy writting in ColdFusion.

I love my job and it's by far a lot better than my previous low-pay job at the call centre. The advantages here are numerous:

• Better pay.
• Flexible time and less minimum hours per week.
• Transit takes a third less time and the bus is almost always empty.
• Supervisors know what they want and what they're doing.
• Real large desk to work at with my very own workstation, which people don't try to use all the time.
• The company is very-well organised, so I know what I need to do and I can be focused.
• Being focused and well treated, I work better, finish faster, and actually have a feeling of accomplishment at the end.
• I can now proudly say that I work in my field and not in some call centre.

There. Now I can actually brag about my job... Ha!
