So I’m 30 today. I was thinking that I didn’t particularly feel all that different from before, but actually, that’s not true. I’ve made some progress and it’s all good. I know I was going to blog about my memories here, but this birthday reminded me of something I don’t have memories of — my prior birthdays. I was raised Jehovah’s Witness, and as such, we didn’t make a very big deal out of holidays and birthdays. Even though I’m no longer a Witness, I just never did get the hang of having big birthday bashes. I really can’t think of any memories of mine that happened on my birthday.
As for progress.. Time for a little 30th birthday bragging (kinda!)
On my 28th birthday, I was married and worked at an Ohio Walmart for chump change, and drove an Oldsmobile around in some pretty miserable snowy weather.
At my 29th, I was separated, driving the same “couch on wheels” Olds around sunny southern California, making good money doing tech support for a fantastic company.
Now, as I turn 30, I’m a fully divorced, single SoCal citizen, making serious bank doing my favorite thing (programming) at that same fantastic company.. and I’ve upgraded that car a bit.
‘Til next year.
- Pete!
Happy Birthday, Pete!
