Work Anniversary
Sep. 1st, 2019 12:35 amThis is slightly belated, but I have finished twenty-one years at the Patent Office, and have only nineteen more to go before I retire.
Twenty-one years — that’s the time from being a newborn baby to being a graduate student in physics, living on my own in an efficiency apartment in Austin, Texas. I’ve had some fun and some accomplishments over the past twenty-one years, but things haven’t gone entirely as I hoped. I have enjoyed some success in my career, and become a primary examiner; I have attended Georgist conferences and served on the boards of Georgist organizations. Twenty-one years ago, I thought that I would find someone special, and that in two decades we’d have a home, likely a child or two, perhaps a beagle. Life doesn’t always go as planned.
