Congratulations!

Thanks dudes. I waited a little bit for it and actually got a bid turned down from Google middle of last year that would have meant I would have left to go out on my own, solo. Good thing i didnt burn any bridges(or say anything) and just had to wait to get my due.

And i just turned 30 last month, gordo. The rest of what you said is very valid, though.

Based on what we post, there's not a guy here who wouldn't see it opening night.

The last time I saw something opening night, it might've been 300.

Last time I saw something on opening night was The Fault in our Stars, so ... yeah. I probably shouldn't say that in public.

It's annual review season at my work. I'm basically a technical architect, which means manager (and get managerial bonus) with no direct reports. I lead small teams.

They make you project out where you want to be in the future, goals, etc.

If it takes you five years, you're moving too slow.

We are required to be motivated. It's in our goals. We are also required to have fun. I'm not kidding. "Our" individual goals were dictated by management. They said, "Copy and paste these." Implied was, "It's the minimum number of pieces of flair for this year." One of the goals is "have fun and participate in team events."

I want a t-shirt of this, so I can wear it every time such occasions come up:

When I asked why they couldn't just put the goddamned inane things there to begin with, they said, "We don't have access to your individual goals in the system."

Times like that make me wish I had an office so I could take a shot after management leaves.
