Strangeness

It is a very weird experience to check up on your old employer. I haven't done so directly, but rather just by getting bits and pieces of information from former co-workers and also checking out the old sites we used to sponsor and inhabit (or inhibit as one case might be).

It is also strange to see things finally coming to fruition which were discussed to the point of boredom during a two-year span. Seeing new products come to light that you helped inspire (or flat out created on a sketch pad) is weird in its own right as well. The place that no longer wanted to keep you is profiting from your ideas. Granted, there can't be much profit in this climate, but still.

There is some satisfaction in seeing what you believed would be a good idea simply existing. Yet, there is pain in knowing you will probably never receive any mention for the genesis or development of the idea. I guess this shouldn't matter. But it also makes one wonder why some things can take so long to transpire where others are enacted in almost a blink.

Oh well...onward and most definitely upward. I do know that if I were still where I was at this time last year, I'd have been hospitalized for massive and repetitive concussions.
