Journal Em Emalb's Journal: man, this is cool.... 12
So, the company I work for now is roughly 1000 times smaller than the company I used to work for. No more giant undertakings to get an expense report in, I can simply walk over there and get it handled. No more waiting weeks for access to specific things, it's so simple.
It's very nice.
It's also nice to feel like everything I do makes a difference to this place, one of the reasons I was so burnt out was because I felt like no matter how many hours I worked, how hard I worked, or what I contributed, no one would care at my old work. So that's pretty awesome.
On a scale of 1-10, I'd say making this move to here is a solid 23.
How goes it this am* kids?

I went for the medium company, and doubt I'll regret it (haven't so far). It's a blast here, what I do matters, and the rest of the IT staff know a ton more than I do in their areas, so there's plenty to learn. No room for
