A new chapter has just started in the book of my life.

I recently started working for a new company, which at this time shall remain nameless. This is the last day of my second week and i felt the urge to write down a few thoughts i have about the experience thus far.

So far i am very satisfied with my decision to seek and gain employment with this company. The people here are all amazing and very nice. Even my trainer who in the beginning

 was so very annoying because she spoke as if i was a child or ignorant. But this has since changed and i believe she meant well and she really is a sweet woman. She has been very helpful and informative when i have a problem or need a question answered,

I must say that the benefits of working here are truely great. The pay while it may not be amazing is satisfactory for the required work. The benefits package after my 90 day period will be awesome to have. 100% full medical coverage paid for by the company is unheard of anymore and it really shows that the company gives the best to the employees.

The actual work involved with the department that i have been assigned to will become a almost thoughtless process of which i am not really looking forward to. But from the beginning i figured that it would not be enough to keep my mind going all the time. It would take a lot of work that changes from day to day to keep me completely happy and interested. But even so i dont have any fear that i will become overly tired of the job. The people that i work with like to joke around and are as i mentioned earlier very likable so that should be enough to keep me satisfied for a good while.

Since being here the Computer Admin and I have spoke a few times and of course wound up on the subject of… thats it you guessed it, computers and some of my future goals. I believe he has inspired me to start working towards my goals now. I am currently taking practice A+ certification tests to judge where my knowledge is and figure out what my weaknesses are. I hope that soon i feel confident enough to go take the actual A+ test and get my first certification. This would truely make me happy to have some type of proof from an exam to show what i know. I believe this would be a major step in the right direction to work towards an IT career in the near future. Sadly i believe until i get completely settled and feel secure in this job that i am going to have to hold off on looking into actual college courses to start working towards a degree. But if i can get some certifications that would keep me happy and feeling like i am moving in the right direction. Needless to say i am very excited about my new found motivation. I am ready to prove to others and myself mostly that i can make something of myself.

I also have been dabating on taking a couple courses in Autocad to see if i can get the hang of it and find out if it would be something i could learn to enjoy messing with. This was brought on by the opportunity to gain an opportunity to work for a man that i look up to greatly and is a good friend. He has been a great motivator as well. Always has time to help me out, answer some questions, always given good advice and tryed to push me in a positive direction. For this i greatly thank him for being a friend.

Have a great day world. It feels so good to be in a happy/excited mood again. ;-D
