Yoga Position: Electrocuted Moth at Idunno
Greater Denver Area
I do geeky stuff like make websites and write business programs. If people say "I cannot stand our company's software" then, uh... that stuff wasn't written by me. When people say, "This software is awesome! I wish it was a person so I could ask it to marry me!" then, uh, that person has issues and I didn't write their software either.
Background with DoD, Manufacturing, HRIS, integrations, process leaning, boxed software sales, and website development. I also can do some cooking, home repairs, and love to embarass my children.

My profile was boring me. The link said "Add position." So I added a yoga position. I call it the Electrocuted Moth. It's what happens when I sit on my yoga ball holding a glass of Kool-Aid and then get all swank and try to balance without my feet touching the ground but then things go all crazy and I end up flailing like an electrocuted moth, Kool-Aid goes everywhere and I fall on my ass. WARNING: This is an advanced position. Do not try it at home.

That's Mr. Project Weenie to you! Yah, I get to roll up my sleeves and write C#. Yah, I get to lead customers through JAD/Mapping sessions and help them design the next generation of solutions for their business. I uh also get to produce project plans and status reports and stuff like that (woah now - watch that fun-o-meter!). But the coolest thing is... that I get to play with VB6 again. I missed it sooooo much (NOT!)

I wrote some code, cranked the C# madness engine with the electric code orchestra in Sierra Vista (and played kick ball, which really hurt). Hung out DoDAF-style with the NGESians, drawing diagrams that would make bio-engineering look like a cake-walk... WHAT? I won? I won the german-chocolate cake!! Oh...sorry...got off track. Java - lots of Java, and project schedules, and budgets, and... has anyone seen my cotton work gloves? I swear I had them around here somewhere. . . [pause] oh my.

Well until things went all "It's So Easy" SAP-Happy over there, it was really cool! The people still rock the party - I still have my coffee mug from there with the team members on it. Good Times. Did all kinds of groovy things - gathered a bunch of VB6 legacy code into a consolidated environment (like hearding moths, really), maintained and enahanced that. Was team lead for RAD & implementation of a totally tricked-out production scheduling application in .NET to replace a legacy one - works really well. New features combined with familiar look and feel = happy users. [sigh, our work there....is done].

Did you know I can provide a brief description of this position? OK, well you stand with your feet should-width apart, grab the USB cable with your left hand and jump off the retaining wall screaming something like,"Versata Foreverrrrrrr!!!!" That about sums it up. Except for the part where you set up about 6 machines to play "I'm Free" over Thanksgiving weekend, and someone thinks you hacked their network (I only wish I was that brilliant...alas, it was just a shared folder and me running around clicking "play" - LAME-O).

There were these cool people in RM, and these other cool people in HRIS, and then there were cool people in IT. I got to meet and work with all of them and you didn't, so pftththththththtth!!! Oh, I did lots of important stuff, probably the coolest was the salary planning thing - although the application that managed the re-organization was pretty cool. But, really nothing beats MAPPER. I mean, it was on a UNIVAC - that is the kewlest thing ever! I got to write funky-script for a UNIVAC? Awesome.
