Changes

[elision]

Since 1998 or so, I've had BIG CHANGE years every three years like clockwork. Usually, there are smaller-scale changes scattered throughout, but nothing on the order of the three-year cycle. I tend to lump the tail and beginning ends of the surrounding years in, because it seems like a fair bit happens on the edges, too

It was 07 you changed jobs? Huh, I thought it was 08 for some reason. You've inspired me to put a timeline together myself, so I don't blur it to bitz.

Yeah, I keep timelines like this specifically because I'm really good at swiss-cheesing my memory.

We're totally going to screw it up, you realize. It's the "Fixing the screwups" part that will be the interesting bit.

I use the term "screw up" in a very software-development-oriented fashion: it's only screwed up if you can't fix it. ;)

I will continue with my arts-related view: there are no screw-ups, only unexpected changes.
