Employed!

So after a fairly arduous application process (including the programming assignment mentioned earlier) I’ve accepted a job offer from OPOWER, a company that works with utilities to reduce people’s energy consumption. (Click through, though–the web site is very informative and well-designed.) I’ll be doing this job, working with data and databases.  I’m very excited: I had a lot of fun when I went in for the interview, and really liked everyone with whom I spoke. Plus the company has a great mission. Not to mention the fact that I’ll be able to wear my favorite orange sneakers to work. I’ll have a lot to learn when I get there, but that will be part of the fun.

I start work April 4th, which means I still have a week and a half to fritter away. Accordingly, my mom and I are heading to the beach until Friday night.
