Expatriate
Today marked my eight-month anniversary as a full-time employee at Microsoft. Although I have gained extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the product, having less than a year's experience still makes me feel like a bit of a noob.
So what's so special about eight months? In itself, nothing. But if you include my four-month internship, then I've been living in the United States for a whole year! It's the longest I've ever lived in a foreign country, including Japan.
So how am I doing? I'm having a great time. I love my job. I love Seattle. There are some people here that care a lot about me, and a few that I care a lot about too. I'm looking forward to my next year as an expatriate Canadian.
