Finally met one of my two new company mentors who were paired with me back in April.
Basically my job has a mentorship program and you can apply to be paired either as a mentee or a mentor, and for either leadership or technical (like actual software engineering specific) guidance. This person is two levels higher than me, basically the second to highest level you can go as a software engineer individual contributor (non management track) and has been in the industry like 20+ years. Seems like he'll be a helpful mentor! We'll see. My previous jobs haven't had formal mentorship programs but usually I found and made a friend with more experience who I could go to about things outside of my immediate team/org.

Still has its ups and downs but I'm trying to reach myself to be more accepting of that and that just about any job isn't going to be perfect all the time.

We use slack at work and people constantly do the heart emoji reactions for things.
On my team if someone puts a message that they're not feeling well and will be taking the day or afternoon off to get rest, most of my team puts this "hug-ops" emoji, which is a little heart attached to a parachute. Like I'm glad we're being supportive of each other and I don't really mind that, but the choice of emoji to use is kinda like... do we really gotta do a hearts and hugs thjng? We're coworkers lol.

Yep. But seriously. Reach beyond just programming. You are a smart kid. I got that from just the few times we were together. Think bigger.

the worst part of any job is the inter-office politics. just gotta figure out a way to be on the positive side while taking the negative side of it in stride, and things tend to go smoother.

I guess she got upset at another resident. My dad got a call this morning when we were playing disc golf. She was accusing the staff of trying to poison her, took a chair and threw it out of the dinning hall, and tried to stab somebody with a pen………..
