Things are really starting to get crazy...Good crazy! I am now officially in on the testing of the new software. I have been very busy with end of month wrap-up, meetings, and scheduling travel, putting in 10 and 11 hour days.
As of May 1st I will have a new boss and a new title and on the 7th of March, I have a meeting with Corp in Chicago. Then I will be flying down to Corp in TX for software testing. We are going live with the new software in May...hence the new job title. Positions are being realigned to conform with SOX regulations. (Government accounting regulations for all publicly traded companies). I will be there 3 days testing the software to make sure it has been created to do what I need it to do. I will be learning it, then trying to break it. It will be meetings and training for 3 days. I am very excited and I hope I am up to the challenge.
My trip is finalized and I have my itinerary. I will be flying down on Sunday afternoon with a co-worker. My new boss and another co-worker will be arriving the morning of the first meeting. Jan and I wanted to fly down the night before to get settled. This way we don't have to deal with rushing to O'Hare Airport VERY early in the morning to get to TX, then a 20 mile drive to Corp for 8am meeting. It's a 2 1/2 hour flight and I would have to allow for travel time to O'Hare, not to mention the fact that you have to get to O'Hare so early to get through security. Leaving Monday morning is insane, I would take nothing away from the meeting under those circumstances. Leaving the night before will make getting to the airport here much easier and less stressful. My departure and arrival back to Chicago will both be at reasonable times for Rich to drop me off and pick me up.
I am so glad I never got the other jobs I applied for. I feel like I can actually get somewhere with this company. Blessings do come to those who wait!
I went to see the Gastric Dr last Wednesday and he has given me more meds and asked if I was under any stress...well! I do feel slightly better with the new meds, Now I am taking one type in the morning and a different one with my evening meal. This too shall pass.
It will be so nice to go someplace warm and get away from the cold here. Now watch, it will snow in Dallas and it will be in the 70's here.
