Ten years ago today I was saying my goodbyes at a recording studio where I’d been a creative writer, audio/video producer and voiceover/on camera talent for more than seven years. I was about to embark on a new journey closer to home with an established national software developer.
Funny part is that I trusted this leap of faith at the height of all the Y2K madness. Of all the times to jump from a media-based career that began before I could drive, rational signs pointed away from starting a new career chapter in computers. Especially then.
As you know, Y2K came and went. (CAU was prepared for it by 1998.) We worked in Windows 98, faxed or mailed newsletters, and most of us had dial-up Internet connections. And here we are ten years later.
The opportunity to start over much closer to home allowed me to attend my daughter’s school activities, play more baseball and softball, and enjoy more quality time with family and friends.
I’ve grown professionally, too. More than I could’ve imagined.
Since Y2K, CAU launched a ton of benefits for our clients. Document Imaging, online Customer Resources, and daily software updates are just a few.
2009 may have rough for HME providers, but it did bring you the launch of the revolutionary Web Edition HME software. With all of its browser-based advantages, seamless updates, dynamic wiki-based documentation and personalized display, Web Edition significantly improves your work day, every day.
Remembering one year, as we’re apt to do at this time, recalls recent events. Reflecting over an entire decade allows us to bathe in ten years of memories.
We can measure where we’ve been as compared to where we are and, hopefully, appreciate each present moment as a new decade dawns. Happy New Year!
