Gettin’ nerdy with it.

So work has been pretty interesting lately… I’ve been doing a little bit of everything, and not a whole lot of training related stuff. I’ve produced a few Product Vendor DVDs (anytime a vendor would visit and give presentations, we’d tape it, and then I’d take it from there)… and have been learning databases on the fly. I bought a book on Access, and have been elbow deep in creating a learning management system. I’ve done about 8 forms, just about as many queries and reports, with a TON to go. I’ve actually been getting help thanks to Google – between my Google searches and groups.google.com, I’ve gotten pretty far, and am suprised that I can grasp it so well. I’ve always had problems trying to wrap my head around databases, but for some reason it seems to be coming to me pretty easy.

While some of my friends might give me grief that its Access and not mySQL — hey, at least I’m getting it under my belt, and it will let me jump into the stuff I should know.

Other than that, I’ve been working my butt off and today I actually felt like I was having fun at work. Which is probably the second time in the almost 2 months I’ve been in this position. I guess its not too bad.

As a matter of fact, our company celebrated its anniversary, and as a gift, the founders gave everyone a bonus check. Can’t beat that.

Insert title here.

Congratulations, you got 7/8 correct!

Could You Pass 8th Grade Science?

 

Baaaaaaaaaah. I’m a sheep. Or Eric would call me a goat. Whatever. I just want to know which one I missed. Dang. I’m suprised I passed since I HATED science. With a passion.

Where does the time go?

Please note this was started quite some time ago, I’m posting it as it is so you have some sort of idea of whats been going on with me, mmmmkay?
Wow, a lot has happened since the last time I said hello to you all — let’s get a real quick overview, shall we?
4th of July – This year we ran 3 fireworks stands. You read correctly, three of them. Major crazyness. I’m very proud to say I really only had one blow up (pardon the pun) and that was short lived. To stay with the 3 theme – we had one stand broken into 3 times. They were scared off the first time, the second time, we weren’t so lucky, we lost about $500 worth of product, and the third time there wasn’t anything in the stand to steal.

I will also be starting the third week of my new job. The commute is what really kills me. 45 minutes each way. I can get 3 round trips before I get paranoid and refill the gas tank (at about $40 a fill-up) so I spend half a day a week working to pay for fuel. I’m sure my company does not have a policy regarding blogging, but since they are a publicly traded company, I will stick to the safe side and not name names or really even talk much about it here. I don’t need to be someone who loses a job because of a comment I made on this goofy little blog. What I will do is tell you what I’m doing. I work in the Training department, updating intranets, and other little training related projects here and there. Its a great job, but as I started to say, its the commute that kills me. I do download the Don and Mike show Podcast, so I enjoy that, but there are only so many to listen to. If you know of a good podcast to listen to I’m more than open to them. I would prefer something funny
