The End of an Era

"Sounds like the good end of an era" is how my best friend described my after-work activity. I sat on my porch and smoked a Montecristo cigar and had a couple of beers. It really is the end of an era. The majority of my 20's have been spent working at an engineering firm in Chattanooga. I went to work there in 2002 right after I moved home from Denver. After about two years of working I started back to school and decided that I would like to move over to the Geotechnical and Dam Safety Department.

While I was attending UTC and taking Geology courses I got to work on some pretty cool projects that actually involved a fair amount of Geology. I was fortunate to get some work experience while I was in school.

While I was driving home this afternoon it suddenly sank in that, "Holy shit, I am really going to graduate school in a couple of weeks". I put in my notice six weeks ago, but it really hadn't hit me until today. Work has been pretty busy since I have been wrapping up a couple of pretty large projects. So, I guess this is it, the end of the 20's, got the degree, got married, had a child, went to field camp, managed a couple of high profile jobs, and somehow came out the other end in one piece.

Now on to the 30's...... only time will tell.
