Week 1 at ALMACO and in Des Moines
May 23rd, 2008
So I started my job this week. Candice had a “Go Live” this week which means she is out of town the entire week. Had I been thinking ahead, I would have taken this week off. Taking care of the kids while I’m adjusting is more stress than I’d planned for. We’re really getting a taste of what the other person went through the past 4 months. She’s away from the family, and I’m without her help. Wow… I really appreciate what all she’s been through now that I’ve had to do it.
As far as work goes, well it’s still too early to tell. So far I love my new job. The atmosphere is great, people are excited to be here and actually strive for excellence. What a huge change from my last employer. My boss is a great guy and the other people I work with seem like we’re all aiming at the same goals. I’ve already started taking on some tasks and have plans for bigger work down the road. I think this is going to be a fantastic experience for me. At the very least, it gets me close to my family and support network.
I will post again in a few more weeks and let you all know how things are going.
