So, the company I work for was bought by Oracle, the second largest software company in the world. Am I excited? Yes. Am I terrified? Definitely. I might lose my job, I might hate the new corporate culture, or something entirely unknown might happen. But I'm still excited, because this means new opportunities to learn.

I'll get exposed to entirely new things that I've never had the opportunity to be exposed to before. Massive enterprise culture, enormous systems and integration, incredible minds that mold and shape the future of the tech industry. This is going to be a fun ride, no matter what happens. I just hope I enjoy it as much as I anticipate.

The things that I'm really afraid of are the changes to the culture and separation from my comrades in arms. I've gotten attached to my current cohorts, and I'd rather be able to diagnose issues with them well into the future. The beer on Fridays is definitely awesome too. It gives us a chance to unwind after a long week of involved tasks. But, I have to take things as they come. Complaining won't get me anywhere.

Hopefully the world stays in a state that I enjoy. If not, I'll probably be looking elsewhere... either by my own choice or by another's. I have a lot of passion to offer, even to a tech giant... Hopefully they see me in the same light as I see myself -- I'm clever, driven, and constantly learning new tricks and intricacies in every system I can get my hands on. Just ask my coworkers... I'm always figuring out new hacks, shortcuts, and ways to keep things as simple as possible while maximizing output. And I have no intent to change that.

Well, anyway. Time to sleep. Peace out.
