News From Work

A couple of months ago, the company I work for was looking for internal applicants to be trained as computer modelers. I applied, but someone else was chosen. About a week ago I was told that they were filling two positions and I was going to be the second one.

It should be an interesting challenge. My current position has it's perks but it has not been intellectually stimulating. This new position will demand a lot of learning and attention. It should also mean a little more money. About 7% if I am correct. The position also offers me a lot more opportunity. My current department does not have much in the way of advancement opportunities. Looking down the road, the new position will be much better for me.

Today, I had my first training session in the new department. I'll be over there for two hours each day for this week. That time will go up each week until I'm in the new job full time.
