But change itself is. Being a startup kind of guy, if you get laid off too often, you begin to question your own worth. The main thing that I learned is not to pin my self-worth to any job. It's intrinsic.

The best people (in any industry) that I know are those who are constantly learning, evolving, and adapting. Never forget to learn from any source - even the negative experiences!

I can be both laser-focused and blue-sky general at the same time. I can be relaxed and intense at the same time. I believe (well, 'hope' might be a better word) that they would say I am a good boss and a good developer/designer. Why I don't I just get you in touch with them? It would be easier. LOL!

He was the manager of the surgical research unit at Bowman Gray School of Medicine, and I was hired as a 'Data Coordinator". Chief (he insisted everyone call him Chief) didn't know squat about surgical procedures, programming, or computers - yet he knew an amazing amount about people. And that knowledge, along with his absolute honesty and integrity, made him a pleasure to work for. He taught me (and many others) how important understanding people and standing up for them was to any management role - even when managing dorky, cocky, developers like I was back then. It is a lesson I have never forgotten.

The boss, Steve Stone, already knew he wanted to hire me, and was more interested in selling me on the job benefits than anything else. He was right, the job was amazing, fun, and one of the most rewarding jobs I have even had.
