I worked at the Youth Shelter for 12 years, took a part time job for 2 years while I was finishing up school, moved out here, switched careers from social services to technology and then worked my next job for 7 years.<\/p>\n<p>When that company lost its funding and I got laid off , you can imagine that I was a little outta practice with searching for a job.  And I&#8217;d like to attribute the first job I landed to that inexperience.  It was a programming job with an ad firm that I didn&#8217;t realize was over run with born again Christians, until a couple weeks into the gig, when the owner stood up at the holiday dinner and gave a long and enthusiastic &#8220;in Jesus name&#8221; prayer.  Holiday my ass &#8211; it was definitely a Christmas party, and the look on Rachel&#8217;s face could have killed me.  As soon as we left and got into the car she told me to quit.  I did; it just me another 4 months to leave.<\/p>\n<p>But the timing of my exit was great, because at the point I&#8217;d finally had enough of the obvious mismatch <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rejuvenation.com\">Rejuvenation<\/a> was looking for a front end web programmer.  Talk about night and day.  I couldn&#8217;t have found a bitter fit.  I love what I do, I really enjoy the folks I work with, and I feel good about the company.  With any luck, Ill be around for another long spell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once I get a job I tend to stick around for a while.
