Movin' On Up... Again!
I'm excited to announce to all of you avid readers that I have been promoted to a new position with my company.Yet again! Either I'm doing something right, or none of the departments want me LOL.
It comes with a very gradual, but welcomed, pay raise which puts me in the ballpark of incomes which are usually reserved for people with bachelors degrees. I'm very appreciative that I've been given this opportunity based on aptitude moreso than education, but I'm definitely more motivated than ever to go out and get a degree.
I suspect I'll finally be in a Monday- Friday shift again. I had one for a brief period of time, then gave it up to somebody who had a wife and kids because I didn't think it was right that I was holding onto it just as a status symbol when they needed it to spend time with their family. At first I was OK with the concept, but then I thought about what if it were people I knew and thought to myself how I would feel if some jerk was making it so Zoso couldn't spend time with her son... Then I started to feel guilty, and I hate feeling guilty. Take note Wal-Mart!
Besides, I actually prefer the 4 day work week and having 3 days off. It makes it so much easier to recoup. But some positions, like the one I'm taking, are worth only having two days off.
I have also gained somewhat of a technophile image at work. I replaced my Palm PDA with my iPod since it essentially does everything I did with my Palm anyway, so I get these strange looks when I bring my iPod to Site Administration meetings, then these looks of awe as I hook it up to the projector and run power point presentations off of it. LOL Then comes the drooling and people asking me where I got my iPod and how much it costs. I love that thing, it does everything under the sun, but I seriously wish there was a better battery option out there for it.
So, I'm excited, and hopefully I'll do really well in the position. I will certainly give it my all.
