My Old Job

Before I went to law school, I worked for a software engineering company. I did a lot of different jobs, usually under 1 job title, which rarely described my work. I would venture to say that most people's job descriptions barely touch what they actually do.

Anyway, I worked there for 5 years, and I still feel kinda like it's a part of me. For instance, every so often I check the company's website. I feel especially like the site is my baby because I was deeply involved in the redesign of the site a about 5 years ago now.

The company employs many people who are foreign nationals because the work done there is highly specialized and there just aren't that many people who do that kind of work. This creates a language barrier. The problem with that is that I am a grammar freak. I made it one of my missions when I worked there to ensure that as few grammatical errors left the building as possible.

The company has redesigned its site again. Visually, it is perfect. Unfortunately, the grammar is not. I wish I could go back there and fix it for the company!

But I can't. Still, I hope the company continues to do well.
