🐸 JIMOTHY FROGBIT LA
(I'm still processin' it, me. Propely. It's doin' laps round me head like a lad in a Corsa outside Tesco in Old Swan.)
📋 ABOUT ME, LA
Alright, calm down, calm down. I'm a small frog, not a big frog, not even a medium frog — I'm an intern what's studyin' COBOL at Bog Valley Technical College. Me dissertation on the PERFORM UNTIL construct got a Distinction, sound that, la. Nobody else wanted to touch legacy COBOL code. I was over the moon, la. Froggy hired me. Boss that.
The billing walkthrough appened, like. Froggy took me to the server room at 08:44. Two hours and thirty-five minutes. I filled 12 notebook pages. I learned about REEL status checks, four-stage pipelines, and control totals calculated backwards, la. And one lesson is now on a post-it above me monitor: INPUT FIRST. NOT THE CODE. 90%. I'm still processin' it. Sound.
