New Sections Needed & Work
June 10, 2007 12:10:19 PM
     Man, now that I'm not in college anymore, none of the tabs in my pictures section apply to any of the pics I take. I guess I will have to make a whole new tab section. Speaking of new pictures, I have my professional graduation picture up, I'm making a really funny face, so don't laugh too hard.

==> Pictures-Graduation Hand Off

     Anyways, work seems to be going pretty good, granted it's all been training so far and no real work done, I can already tell that I will really like this job. The way things have been going this last week, and for the next 2 weeks, is like a class room environment. In fact, going to work, right now, is like an extension to college. Each day we report to this big training room. It's like a cross between an auditorium and a computer lab. We've had to watch power points, listen to people talk, and do little labs on these set ups infront of us. The stuff they are teaching us so far is how to install our huge software package, set up our line of power monitoring equipment, integrate everything, get it talking to the software over an ip network, the history of the company, the chain of command, and more. It's really fast pace, and we already took like a test, on friday, they layed out all these parts in front of us, gave us a computer and 4 hours and told us to get this all up and running. It was crazy tense. I didnt get as far as I wanted to, but I still got farther than most people.
     The company is also trying to make these training session classes into a competition. We are all being assigned points for our in-class partisipation, lab time completions, and various other things. As of thursday's rankings, out of 30 new people, I was number 1! How sweet was that! See this is really good, because right now, we are stuck in these bull-pen arranged cubicles, which basically just means several people in one space, well, our boss said he'd like to get us all moved to our own cubicles, but there wont be quite enough for everyone to have their own. So the highest ranking people will have first choice on which cubicles they want.
     Oh yeah! speaking of sweetness! I found out that my boss is also huge into home automation! He is apparently known at Sqare-D for his crazy x-mas light set ups each year. We seem to get along very well :-) Another cool thing is, every day at work, and for 2 more weeks to come, the company has been buying us breakfast and lunch! Buffet style! It's too nice. I already got my new laptop, IBM thinkpad, always a good choice. I get a company credit card, a 2 gig usb thumb drive, a 100 gig mini external HD, and next wednesday night, the company is taking us all out to this place for games and food. Can't remember what its called, but it's described as a chukie cheese for adults. We'll get to play endless video games and bowling while stuffing our faces with ribs and wings! GOD I LOVE THIS JOB! Hopefully I'll still love it when I actually have to start doing work :-)
