Week One Done!

Friday, February 29th, 2008

If you know me, then you know what I am talking about.  For security reasons, I won’t name the employer directly.

 I was pretty nervous throughout the week.  I guess that’s just me, trying to be perfect and getting things right the first time.  Lots of classroom time, learning TONS of material.  A lot of interesting things that I would have not known otherwise and that’s just in the first week.  What I enjoy about it is the teamwork that is taking place.  While it’s not a gigantic, collective group, we all watch each other’s back.  We only had one day of physical activity, and it was great.  I hung in there, even though the instructor said he was taking it easy on us!!  I just have to keep running to maintain some endurance.  It all went by pretty quick and I don’t plan on letting up.  I tend to keep at this 110%.  I’m sure it will get harder as it goes, but I am confident I can make it.

Saying Goodbye…

Today marks and end of a chapter, and start of a new one.  Today was my last day working in Hayward.  14-1/2 years!!  My first, and only real job out of High School.  It was a surreal experience today while I gathered my things.  I didn’t want to say goodbye to anyone.  I was suprised in the morning by a gift from the employees.  Reality hit and I needed to gather myself for a moment.  It still doesn’t feel like all of this is happening.  I’m sure when Monday comes, I’ll know FOR SURE that this is all for real.   To just say I will miss people from work is an understatement.  It’s half of my life I am leaving behind. (okay, I know I’m not 29!! lol)  I will do my best to keep in touch.  If anyone from work is reading this, I wish you luck and I will always keep you in my thoughts. – D

Um.. I guess so..

Since I mainly use my .net for pics, I rarely do anything here.  If you are just checking things out, I have some BIG changes coming in 2008.  First thing is my career change, or should I say, start of an actual career.  Almost 15 years at my current job, and I am making the change. SCCDOC, here I come!!  Second thing will be fatherhood!!  Wifey is 11 weeks along and all appears to be good!!  Two life changing events and we are only 2 months into the year!
