Finding my niche

My first day of work at Paradigm New Media Group (hereafter referred to as PNMG) is behind me, and I’m very happy to say that it’s everything I wanted it to be. An open, creative, fun work environment with friendly, entertaining and like-minded people makes a world of difference.

Also, I have a new theory: you can tell a lot about a company by how they name their servers. Examples:

  • Truman State University names their servers after elements and precious metals (hydrogen, silver, etc.)
  • My previous, cubicle-rich employer picked seemingly arbitrary letter and number combinations (QXL87, etc.)
  • PNMG uses comic book characters.

You tell me who you’d rather work for.

New job

Ah, I forgot to mention: I’ve been hired by the Index, Truman’s newspaper, as their Online Editor. Should be good fun and a great experience. I’m also supposed to be thinking about a redesign for their current site, but until I can actually login to the College Publisher network and see how everything is set up it’s nigh impossible for me to evaluate the situation. More information as it becomes available.
