Well - this has been a long time coming.  I'm finally working at Microsoft, which has been a long-held goal for me.  It's been a circuitous route, with significant stints at awesome companies such as PricewaterhouseCoopers and IBM, along with an ultimately less pleasant tour with Excite@Home.  I'm not sure what to expect, and the first few days have been a blur of meeting new people, getting set up, and learning about the business, but I'm genuinely excited to be here.
