My New Oberlin College Job

My desk at work

On February 16th, I started my new job as Web Developer in the Oberlin College Office of Communications. The only position of its kind in the office, I am charged with maintaining and extending the CMS used by their new website, and providing the benefits of my experience in the form of suggestions and proposals in related technical matters.

This being my first proper "office job", wherein I physically work in a shared location with my co-workers, has provided me with an interesting new experience in which I'm learning and socializing daily. I believe I've adapted smoothly, and I now find the change of pace considerably enjoyable. Although the bureaucratic protocol of the office environment leaves much to be desired, my co-workers are good people, and the knowledge I bring to my position seems well-suited to effecting positive change.
