Celebrate with me: after a year of searching, I have a job!

64. I thought I'd left it long behind

apparently there's still a huge footprint out there. InterSystems still has a humongous chunk of the hospital systems (if not nearly all), plus the VA, plus players like the Amazon cloud, MSN, IBM, Syngenta and a lot more huge companies. Even the Grammys apparently did a lot of the accounting on InterSystems Cache.

Huh, says I to that. I had no idea until yesterday about that one. The company I'll be going to work for is one of the biggest in healthcare lab/lab billing; little chance of it disappearing out from under me. (I have a talent, it seems, for locating companies that are dying then going to work for them until they actually DO die; thus I have lived in 11 states and visited 40+. Been there, done that, and the t-shirt is thin and ratty!) It's a great relief to have finally broken that streak.

I did order an M programming guide. I've got a personal-sized copy of Cache handy (I'm developing an eco-farm/poor farmer resource management suite together, but using MVBasic and decidedly, pointedly not MUMPS, heh). Guess I'll be doing exercises for the next month brushing back up.

Like a bicycle..
