While I consider myself lucky that I was able to keep busy doing freelance consulting and contract work for over 5 years, the economic downturn finally caught up with me in November when there were no more promising contract jobs on the horizon.  Fortunately, I was able to land a 4 month job working as a UX Devigner (combination of developer and designer) on the Microsoft Suface team, prototyping new user interfaces for the shell in WPF.

 

Frankly, it's a bit of a shock for me to go back to working 9 to 5 on-site, and I realize now how spoiled I've been.  However, we're doing some fanstastic work and I love being back on Microsoft campus.
