During the summers of ‘98, ‘99, and 2000 I temped in the shipping office of a company that bought and merged with the company that made this… whatever this thing is.
From my meager point of view in shipping, it looked like the company we bought was about to go under before we swooped in and saved them. Somehow though, all of their top people ended up in charge of the new merged company. That didn’t make sense to me. I took it as a sign that programming was a much better career choice for me than business.
