Day 12: Career, Follow my Curiosities

Being happy at work is so important. It's hard not to emphasize this enough because you are at work for the most part of the day. I work for a hard drive company as a Product Firmware Manager. I'm not actually managing people but I am managing firmware for one of our products. I go to meetings daily, take requests and give requests. I call myself a high-paid gossiper. This is because I find out the latest scoop and then I pass it along to whoever wants to hear it. It's fun and the days are fast. I used to do failure analysis and I did not like it. After putting in two years I told my manager. It was a miracle because they switched me to my new position within a month. I learned to speak my truth because if others don't know what you want then they can't help you.
