New Background
Hey Everyone,
Hope all your weekends went well. Nothing too exciting with me since the last time I was on here to write. Just the same old stuff day in and day out. I have placed a new background up, tell me what you think, is it readable? If it isn’t I am going to find a way to dumb down the colors. Dolphins are my favorite animals and so I thought it time to have a background with them on it.
The only thing that is really new is that I did finally have my 6 month review at the firm. I was so nervous going into it, I hate reviews, though I know they are necessary. This review is more to go over the review process they have, see where I stand so far about the company, any feedback I can give them and to make sure that each others goals that were set at hiring are drifting apart. I have had no problems while I have been here, I love all the people that I work with and the experiance that I am getting. They gave me a sheet with goals, objectives that they want to see or that I have agreed to do over the next year, and then also some things I need to work on, which there is always something to work on. After going through all that I was then given my new pay sheet, I have gotten a .50 cent raise, basically it equals to about 1040 dollars more a year, which is great and well welcomed. I am also now eligable for 401k and the pension, so they told me where I would stand on that, though there is nothing in the 401k because that is all employee contributed to where my pension is all employeer based. They also gave me a rough estimate of what my end of the year bonus would be, which is always nice to see the numbers, even when it isn’t that high yet, though I know with the more hours and time and work I put in the higher it could go. So over all it went really well and I am excited. I am now getting to start another new project with one of the princples as the lead and it is a break room for an office building that we have done several other renovations for. It isn’t a huge project but I am getting to do most of it on my own and he checks it over and we go from there. I am excited to be handed more projects and getting to manage my time and learn things first hand. Hopefully soon I will get to go out more to projects and see construction first hand as well.
Other then that I don’t think too much is going on. I started at the beginning of this month setting a single goal, start small and work my way up, and that goal is to work out everyday in the month of May. So far I am doing really well with this even if it is walking to the front office of my complex and doing some sit ups in the evening, it at least is getting me moving. Now that the weather is finally getting nice and staying there I am going to finally get my bike and rollerblades out as well and start that up soon too. Also on May 20th Wii Fit comes out and I am totally looking forward to that as well.
Well, I just thought I would come drop a line and see how everyone one is doing. Have a great day!
