Max is 13 months old now. He occupies most of my thoughts at work and it'd distracting. He does something new every day, I spend the following day thinking about it and replaying the previous nights events. I can't imagine what he will do next, he's an amazing little kid. But see? this is exactly what I'm talking about. I'd like to write something indicative of the company I work for, my job. But instead, I start talking about Max--this is what it's like at work, it's MAX, MAX, MAX... I can't concentrate because I'm trying to figure out what other toys I can get for him or make. Ok, and much like how I refocus at work, here it goes.
My job. I'm still working for the infrastructure group at code 238. I'm doing better with things now and I like my job more. I'm starting to understand the "Solar" corporate philosophy now. It's a great company as it's a little old fashioned and extremely conservative.
I look back at when I started there and admit that I was a little scared of some of the folks. They seemed a little too Jesus-happy and that always frightens me as typically, those god-loving folks tend to be a little closed minded to my unique style of thought. But that's all in the past now. Once again, Max, changed all that. Somehow, as soon as I found out about Max in December of 06, I accepted God and Jesus into my life, it was actually pretty profound and felt like I was having a flurry of epiphanies. I don't think that Amy experienced the sort of spiritual shift that I did, I'm sure that she went through some changes of her own through the "max" experience. But back to my job.
I'm taking much better care of supplier data issues and I feel like I'm playing nice-nice with everyone more. But I think as people get to know me more, most of the employees seem a little more relaxed around me. It was scaring me not to hear some light swearing. Now I get the occasional "shit! Damn-it! but very rarely the "F" word. It's ok, I work better in an environment where there is some light swearing. We all know who to swear around and who not to so It's all good.
We're moving to the building next door, building three. The office should be better for our lungs and I expect that we won't have as many health related issues as I've heard that people have. I've had a few but I don't think that I can blame them on the building. I have a little germ factory at home so I think that's my problem. Still, it should be good. I'm still lacking the level of interest in some of the things that we do that Donna seems to be fascinated with. There are just some things that I can't get into like she does. I'm sure it will show on my review but I hope not too negatively.
I'm trying to find other possible places where I can go within the company. I can do many things as I consider myself fairly talented. I'm less arrogant than I used to be so that will work in my favor. So... It's all good, I'm tired of writing. I'll blog how things go after the move.
I have faith that it will all be good as it usually is. Now, I have faith.
