This SoftLayer Blog entry actually comes to us from Kate Moseley (Age 10), daughter of VP of Network Engineering Ric Moseley.
I think it is cool that my dad is a computer guy that works for SoftLayer because he is always able to fix our computers, TVs, and anything electronic. His job is to order and fix computer networks. He also likes messing with anything technical at home including iPods, iPhones, computers, TVs, etc.
My dad is always working so hard to earn money for our family. Sometimes he’s so busy emailing people at work that when you ask him a question, it’s like he can’t even hear you. I also think that it’s cool that he gets to travel to a different state almost every month it seems like. I love going to my dad’s office because I get to see what it’s like working in an office with so many people in such a busy place.
My dad goes to many meetings with his boss, Lance, and the rest of the staff. When he’s not at his office, he’s still working really hard at home! Sometimes he stays up till 4 o’clock in the morning to help fix things at his work. One time he got a call while we were on vacation saying that a router was down at the data center and he needed to come back ASAP! So he packed up his bags and headed back to Dallas! Sometimes we don’t even get to sit down and have an actual meal as a family because he always misses dinner and sometimes he’s on a conference call for more than 2 hours at a time.
My dad used to work at The Planet. He and 9 other people came up with the company called “SoftLayer.” SoftLayer recently merged with The Planet, and now they are one big company. His company is always getting bigger, so almost every year they have to move offices to a different location. My dad loves his job because he gets to interact with one of his favorite things: Technology. SoftLayer has given my family an opportunity to do many things in life that we would not ever have had the chance to do.
Someday I hope to be a part of SoftLayer just like my dad is today.
