Finding my place and loving it!
You know it's been a while since I've written a post when once again, the layout of blogger changes....
I've been here working for nearly 3 months now and it's been quite an experience... I'd say 95% Great and 5% Anxiety. Which, if you know me well... that is really good that it's only at 5% for my Anxiety. The job is stressful but I'm learning to channel this stress towards good and exploring the data and just diving in. Apparently that's one of my personality traits according to the Predictive Index. Essentially I am
1) Dominant (the most under my manager, haha) which demonstrates that I am independent, assertive and a self-starter
2) Mildly patient (I don't see how this is, but maybe I'm patient about the process of how things work).
3) Mildly Introverted (thinking things through).
4) Creative/Innovative
5) Apparently I'm not afraid of failure/rejection and keep pushing forward I think I am somewhat apprehensive as of late because I'm not used to this kind of position.
I mean, until now, I was used to just being told what to do and having my new ideas go nowhere because people didn't want to pursue new things. Now, I can actually really get engaged with the team, contribute, let my ideas flow, and actually see things happen!
Even though the timelines given are sometimes really fast and sometimes I think they're cutting it really close... I'm learning that because of that it is crucial to get a handle on all things data and SAS to get things done efficiently because you never know what kind of things need to be done to get the data organized and coded in a useful manner. It's cool that we can use this to our advantage in terms of management and working together as a team to really put us out there in the organization. Data can show some really cool things and I'm learning a lot on the way. .... I also love my coworkers.
They are so awesome. I'm pretty close to two of them as we are young, lol. I'm still the youngest but I don't want that to be my disadvantage. If anything, I will try to put it to my advantage because I've got the energy to just throw myself into any project and I'm hoping that I truly will be independent/competent in a few months. I love my job and I hope I can continue feeling that way. I'm really getting used to my new life/routine although sometimes I do get a little lonely and I wish I had somebody here to motivate and encourage me... or at least make me do things that are not work. hah.
Life is good. I have a great family, great guy, great friends, great job. The rest, even if they are annoying... are just little blips. No big deal. I just have to adapt, be resilient, and enjoy life to the best of my ability. At least I've been doing better about being healthy. I've been eating better, I try to move around more, and I try to keep my spirits up. Looking forward to whatever the future holds but at the same time I want to revel in the present because I'm realizing time goes by too fast! was looking over old photos with the fam of Luke for his school assignment and he was suuuuch a cutie and I miss his baby-ness. He's still super cute and I'm really upset that he had a bully in preschool but he's such a sweet kid... hope kindergarten is a lot better. He is pretty awesome.
