Happy New Year!!!!
I have been gone for a while working on differential equations and verifying trig identities involving sine and cosine by stretching, squeezing, and translating a function until it matches the target function among other things. Electrical Engineering is a good challenge and learning from the best Electrical Engineers in the country feels great. I love these guys!!!! Secure engineers are never intimidated. Kudos!!!
So.....as an owner of an analog/digital project recording studio, NLE and interactive design studio, it is imperative that I control my experiences through client based projects and services however, from time to time I like to provide my time through offering other organizations my time. It's my way of giving back, while in school, and it also teaches my children the value of donating time to a good cause while meeting interesting people. Volunteer work is *very* rewarding.
So my recent work, as a volunteer has been very engaging. I spent the past six months working as an engineering and production intern on a Emmy Award Winning legal show and a public affairs show. Not that I needed any more professional technical experience, it was just part of the protocol that comes with being a new engineering technology graduate. While I have thousands of hours of real work practical experience as an engineer through my work with my past clients and networks, I also enjoy donating my time to organizations in need. Especially those that are having fiscal difficulties.
Although, told repeatedly that "the network" would hire me permanently, (*if I were interested in accepting and......under different financial climates), my experiences have shown me that volunteering (and also contracting-working on individual projects with clients) gives me more control over my options and are more rewarding.
It's not that I don't enjoy working in theses environments ( I have for years) it's just that when I am in these situations, It usually only takes me a couple of hours to master a position and then the work is static and redundant.
"Dynamic and Integral" are adjectives that describe my work ethic. So with the exception of an occasional issue that may need to be solved, permanent placement gets old.....real fast.
Volunteering, and work in the field with a variety of clients, is very much......dynamic and integral.
The past year was also spent working in the Information Technology group at two New Jersey Hospitals. I followed one of my professors (who was the CIO at one hospital and then relocated to the next). I respect his work and have learned a great deal from him and with broadband being the future for programming delivery, this year was well spent looking at information systems from a medical perspective.
IP is an acronym that is in my future and whether it is Internet Protocols or Intellectual Property......It is quite possible that I may go into programming for health networks....or on the backend design and trouble shoot those networks....who knows????
All I know is, that they both are acronyms that are very much "Integral and Dynamic".
I look forward to blogging this year. Thanks for following.
