Checkin' In ...

I have done a shitty job of writing this blog (obviously). Anyway, here is an update: I have a new job, as of 1 August 2016. I'm working for Comcar Industries, Inc. I have always wanted to learn about logistics and with this company, I am. My boss has only been here three months before me, so we're both learning. He does have lots of trucking logistics experience, and he has a great managerial style too.

There are only a handful of other developer types here at Comcar. We have lots of legacy HPUX C code and it's a challenge to maintain a codebase from 1993! But it's a great place to spend my last programming years.

There are many employees that have over 40 years of service with Comcar! That says a lot about the culture of the company. One would think that people would be stodgy. But there are a lot of new HR concepts that are being implemented and most of the people seem to go with the flow.
