last day of 30.

The new job is pretty exciting - I’m actually already starting to participate in meetings and actually have had a few meetings where I was the main support staff - you know, the one they ask all the questions…

I think it will be alot easier for me to jump in and get my feet wet in by just getting into the projects, I seem to learn alot faster that way, so I’m excited that I’ve gotten my first true project - hopefully I can finish it extremely quick and get on the board.

I don’t think the job is going to be a problem for me to shine in, I do think it will present a new challenge on a daily basis… which is great for me, that’s what I like!

So, tonight is my last night as a 30 year old - funny, i had forgotten about my birthday all together until my aunt mentioned dinner the other day… I guess in all the hustle and bustle it just isn’t that important - sucks that I’ll be solo on it - but, what can you do?

/off to get some chocolate chip cookies!

Time Off

So I’ve been a tad bit busy, haven’t really had (or made) the time to blog. Here’s the latest and greatest in the life of yours truly.

Got a new job (same company)
Moved to Dallas (for now, Ft. Worth when family is here)
Started new job and life adjustments…

All I can say is “WOW” - what a change. The job is cool, lots to learn and do, and tons of meetings all the time… like 1000 times more than I’m accustomed to. I am now a part of a true team where there are members that really have knowledge and aren’t just beating around the bush in order to make it look good. These people are genuinely intelligent. I shall learn a lot, this is for sure. It is much different than what I’m used to – a lot of these tasks are based on knowledge, so I have to shift from knowing how to do a lot in ArcMap/Info to having to figure out how this complex piece of software is put together.

The living in Dallas thing is pretty cool – lots more to do here, and I have a lot of friends up here as well, one thing that is bothersome is that my family isn’t here yet… I miss them terribly, even though they were up here this weekend… It is amazing how your life changes with family – Before I got married, I would have loved to be up here solo – but now, it just makes everything seem temporary…

Anyway, that’s what I’ve been up to, and doing… so now you have an update, how about that?
