It's been a year now...

I was hired by Volt Services on January 8, 2006 and sent to Solar Turbines as my first temporary assignment. Solar Turbines hired me on as a permanent employee in June of 2006. So far, it's been a fun job filled with many challenges and small victories. My job so far is as a Technical Information Specialist but I've also taken the responsibilities as my department's Safety Coordinator.

As the safety representative, I offer training and regular safety inspections. I also occasionaly walk around and ensure that everyone has a smile on their faces and that their bones aren't protruding from poor seating postures or excessive mousing clicking. Yes, these are the hazzards of the 21st century but we endure.

I have many goals this year as a Solar Turbines employee. I have to complete my Green belt training in the next few weeks and finish our present programming projects. I'd also like to plan my career toward technical drawing again but I'm not sure what that will require. I'll focus on two good solid years in Technical Documentation and see where the winds of fate take me then.

Also, I have a baby on the way. I'm not sure how this will alter my plans. It may motivate me to excel in my present position or motivate me to find something else--I realy don't know. It's really too soon to tell as Amy's only a few months pregnant and she herself is unsure of what the future holds.

I know this, I know that I'm scared... not of the experience of the child but of the state of the world and the unknown. I have many fears now--many and I need to focus on the positive for the sake of the baby.

More later...
