Another week, another twist in my job placement. Looks like I might be staying in my current division afterall, can’t say I’m bummed at all by the prospect, I’ve had a very positive past 5-6 months, think I’ve learned a whole lot and gotten a lot of good experience both in subject area and in interacting with different types of managers and workers. Bottom line for my consideration is the prospects of permenant placement in a division, extending this stay looks like it’ll increase my chances of placement that I prefer, as opposed to being locked into a situation where I might not have as many options. Just the other day I got an email about another placement option that I might have to look into.
Have to say that I’ve noticed a higher level of energy overall in my more recent work, not to say that anything I’m doing now is more relevant than prior, in fact my team got an award on the long term project I had been working on in the older division. Its more that I think this division gets down deeper to the more grassroots level, micro, there is more of an opportunity to see the human face of the story as opposed to just a paper trail.
Of course then again it may just be becuase I’ve started school again, and seem to see relevant experience in almost every aspect of the job tied to something I’m learning in class, mostly in civil procedure, although here and there the legal research, and contracts comes into play. for the most part property has made be think about land tenure and estate law, for a variety of reasons.
I’ve also been able to keep up with somewhat of a workout schedule as well, kind of surprising, but so far so good. Shifted gears into a maintainence schedule, keeping my rep at a solid 235, trying to go at least once or twice a week. I’ve actually lost another 5 pounds since school started, bringing me down to the next weightclass (kg).
Busy weekend coming up, probably be spending a good amount of it in the library, or surrounded by these big red case books. guess its a good thing that my regional ABC channel is showing Texas v Texas Tech instead of the Badger game. Last week’s game at Minnesota will be hard to beat no doubt.
