Yesterday I started my new job at iThemes Media. If you stop by my blog very often, you know who they are because I talk about them all the time. This is a really exciting opportunity for me. I by far have the weakest skill set in this office, and I love it. I am surrounded with people who are excellent at what they do, and I am absorbing everything I can.
James, the designer, is fantastic. When he comes in on time (I hope you are reading this James), I really enjoy seeing some of his step by step processes of making logos and site design. Besides being a great designer, he is also great if you ever need to be insulted or cut down. Thanks James!
Chris, the resident code ninja, sits next to me and expands what I know on a minute to minute basis. If it has a a keyboard, he can run it and tell you most things about it. When he gets in to words I have never heard, I just nod my head and hope I can remember it long enough to Google it after our conversation. Great guy too.
Then there is Mr. Cory Miller. Cory knows more stuff about more stuff that I probably ever will. He may not be an expert designer or an amazing coder, but he has great working knowledge of both. Put that on top of being a great people person, and you are spelling success. I want to be a part of anything this guy is doing.
Basically what I am trying to say is that I am really excited about starting work here. Now I guess I should stop writing and get back to work…
Matt,
Thanks for the props! And yes the insults are free.
BTW – Do you really have to kiss the boss’ butt publicly and online? C’mon now!
Awesome to have you at iThemes, Matt!
As we say frequently, “James is a lawsuit waiting to happen.”
You signed the waiver right?
