The Lighter Side of Absolute Zero

I’m starting a new job in a week and a half; it’s a work-from-home programming gig, and I’ll likely never meet my other co-workers face-to-face. It is a distributed office with people on three different countries. Early this week I received and email from my future-boss and he asked that I submit a two paragraph bio, presumably to be shared with the rest of the company so they might get to know me better.

So I’ve been trying to figure out just what to say in only two paragraphs, and trying to decide just how long I’ll make my paragraphs. Not to sound too pompous but like most people I’m rather more complex than just two paragraphs. I have three major passions in my life, a small handful of hobbies, and thirty-one years of personal history that may or may not be relevant. I’m at a loss for what to say in only two paragraphs.

Oh well. I guess this means they won’t get to know me very well from my bio. Maybe it won’t matter. After all, they will only read my words and hear my voice (or snores, as I’m sure to have some early morning meetings).
