Yikes. Glancing through some blog posts today (it’s kind of a distorted view of the world, here in Faerie), I noted some folks noting the end of the decade. (Yes, I am going there with all the “decades start on the 1s, not the 0s” thing. So there!)
Yikes, indeed.
At the end of 2000, I had a not-yet-1-year-old. She’s now 10, about to enter Middle School, and filling me with pride and wonder and dismay at every alternating sentence.
In more trivial matters, I was a geographical manager for IT operations in my company for the Rocky Mountain Region (which meant mostly Denver, but also some stuff down in Albuquerque and over in Salt Lake City). Now I’m shepherding corporate application development for most everything except accounting, for the same company. Same theoretical rank, but a much more interesting position.
And this blog hadn’t even been created.
In some ways, much of our life is very much the same. In some ways, it’s very different.
Makes me wonder what the next decade will be like.
