After hard work, I now have an app in the Apple app store. I’m very proud of this. It was a team effort, but I was the one making the actual code that went into the store; everyone else was in the back end and the web pages being displayed. (Which is probably the more important part.) It was actually approved in less than a day, but that is probably because it is of no interest outside of our existing customers. If it was something everyone was using, like a game, they would have looked at it harder. That, and the approver probably had a long weekend they wanted to get to.
We had planned to try and get everything done by June 1st, but no plan survives contact with the enemy. Still, we just got it into the store under the wire for the same month as planned.
It was a nice way to finish my last day at work.
I have not been looking for a new job very hard. I’ve updated my resume, but I feel a little burned out now. I gave a good chunk of my life to the company; I guess I feel like a spurned spouse. So I’m going to probably spend a lot of July “finding myself”. This will involve self-development. Now that I have someone in the same living place as me, I’m hoping it will help me concentrate on doing work. Last time I was unemployed, with no one able to comment on my actions, I wasn’t as accountable.
But I have an app in the app store, and no one can take that away.
