still giddy from time to time

I work at Apple. It's good, really good. I still have moments, every so often, where I'm walking across the campus and I smile myself a little smile. It's a mixture of pride, belonging, and disbelief.

10 years ago I set out in my somewhat rusty old Jetta with a dream of working in tech - for Apple in particular. In the spring of '98 they weren't really thinking about hiring people. But now things are good, and I'm where I aimed to be, doing what I love to do. My smile is just a hint at how good this feels.
