I know how lucky I am. Most people go to work and during their day they focus on a small set of projects or a distinct range of tasks. Which is great; people team up, do what they have to do and as a result they are productive.
In my position too I have a specific set of responsibilities, but in order to do them I have get to dive into areas of knowledge and educate myself in order to provide web application(s) that are more useful to those who need them.
From there I had to brush-up on some regulation changes as they pertain to digital signature and how those changes might affect the application and our users (whitepaper to follow).
Following that I had to respond to some security concerns of one of our customers, and then I bounced to study the differences between the Value Added Tax laws between Canada, the Euopean Union in general and Italy.
And it's only 1 p.m.
I'll spend the afternoon writing code for the 4.0 release of our current software offering taking into account suggestions sent in from customers and the input from our advisory council.
I love the ability to challenge myself, learn about things I didn't know before and applying that knowledge into a tool that other use to do their range of projects and dedicated tasks. If I and my team do this right their projects will be a little less cumbersom and their tasks less 'tasking'.
Did I mention I loved my job?
