I was hired today at a satellite office of a large engineering firm a few minutes from my house.  People have a habit of letting their brain die in a setting like this.  I'll continue on my side projects so I will still have a chance of moving up after this.  I'm still making progress on my thesis model and I'll probably use the money earned to build a tiny house.  Next step on the tiny house is the convertible furniture.  Perhaps I'll post photos at some point...
