Great Day at Work August 07, 2007 09:55:12 PM
    
I'm in such a good mood that I just have to talk about this again. I love Schneider Electric! And Square-D just rock0rs so many s0x0rs! Sure some work days can get somewhat stressful now that I'm actually doing work, but hey, I'm an engineer in the electrical field, it's gonna happen. Anyways, yesterday was culture day, its basically an excuse to waist half a work day. Like at around lunch time, we get to eat all these foods from all around the world, like who ever wanted to participate made up a little booth in the conference room, had a little poster about their country and had some indigenous food. There was way too much too eat, and of course I filled up on Japans dishes, sushi!
    
Today, the guy I'm working with on the service van project took us out to lunch. I guess what they say about people in the marketing dept is true, they love taking people out to lunch and spending company money. Today we also finally found out our relocation assignments, finally we get our own cubes! Mine is in a real good location, hehe, away from all my managers, pretty big too!
    
Also today, I received confirmation that I get to go back to Tech for their job fair this fall! Now I'm on the other side of the table. This is so exciting. I'll get to see everybody again, visit Khine, and since it will be a business trip, I can expense everything to my AmEx card....sweeeeeet :-)
    
Seriously, some of my graduating peers found jobs that pay a little more than me, but you know what? I'd rather be paid slightly less and work at a job I look forward to going to everyday, than work somewhere for more and hate it. There isn't one person I dislike at sq-d, and that includes my managers. The guys I was hired with are all pretty sweet too. I am just so glad I picked this job over Voith (which I didnt get anyways...phew)
COMMENT: You're so lucky to have found a job you look forward to going every day!! I'm so happy for you whenever I think about it =) and even happier when I think about how happy you are with this job. Congrats, again on getting this job, Danny!
