It’s quite funny. Dylan showed this to me.  I’ve gotten a pretty big kick out of it for the last two days.

To be…

I have some good news. Two weeks ago I was denied a promotion mainly based on scheduling conflicts. A week ago I was offered a schedule that would’ve been workable although not as convenient (12am-8am). Then 3 days after that I was offered the original schedule that I was denied for (5am-2pm), so things have definitely been a little crazy. I’m happy to say that I have accepted the morning schedule and will begin training on the 25th.

I’ve talked to my instructors and it appears that they can work with me on the scheduling conflicts that I had originally thought unworkable. My FHSU job will only change by a few hours, so I will get to keep that position.

I’m getting pretty excited about the coming months. I love getting in on new projects, which is what got me into my current position. I know that this new opportunity will end up better than the last one.

Three weeks in Virginia…I’d better get started on my school work.

A couple of weeks ago I submitted an application for a Service Desk position at my current job. This would have been an awesome opportunity for me as I would have been closer to the Software Development team. That’s my ultimate goal with my current employer. I’ve done web app development in my current position, however the visibility is fairly low. Only about 5 people really use the software and just a handful of others that benefit from it’s use. So this position would allow me to get my name up a little higher and allow others to see some of my work.

There were a few concerning issues from the get go:

• Schedule : (school is right smack in the middle of the day)
• Training : (three weeks in VA)
• Schedule : (conflicts with other job)

After an initial and second interview I was given the ‘bad news’. I say ‘bad news’ because it could turn out to be better this way. Now I won’t have to leave for three weeks in the middle of the semester, I won’t have to find a way to juggle both jobs and I won’t have to get up at 5:00 am for work. All good news, so I really believe that this is an opportunity that will come again, and hopefully when that happens I will be in a better position to take this job.

I’ve already been told that the main reason I wasn’t considered further was because of the scheduling issues, so at least I know I am qualified. I’ll let you know how things turn out as time goes on.
