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.
