I think the one that stands out the most would be my first proper job after university. I have had a few jobs since I was 13 but they were nothing major, this was my first adult job. I went to the interview and made a comment about them using MSSQL and not MySQL which made them chuckle. I got a phone call a day after offering me the role of programmer for the company. I was so happy. At the time my girlfriend at the time and I were living on credit cards and sleeping on the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So first day comes along, I’m suited and booted, scared as hell but excited and keen to do well. Walk into the office then my manager took me to the IT office. “Hi Andy”. What the hell? someone knows my name already? nope. It was from a friend called Johnny who I went to college with before I went to uni. He was a tester and bug finder. “I only told them I knew who you were after you got the job” I was assured. Defenses down, nervousness quelled and the first day was great. Ended up as Senior Programmer after 3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only thing that stands out for the parent side would be the birth of R. Me and ex-fiance at the hospital. Staring at this amazing child and then being told it was time to go. We both just looked at the nurse, I’m sure we were thinking the same thing. “What? With a child?!”. Sort of a surreal moment of realising you are now responsible for the safety and well being of a child. Us. Really. No instruction manual?! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
