Week one of employment chapter has completed. It started off kinda tough, but the week
ended well. I got to work from home on
Friday. My boss works from home on
Fridays and I believe that will be the case for me. It saves my $8 in tolls and 5 gallons of gas alone. On Friday’s when I don’t have meeting…and I’m
not on travel, I can work from home. This
means I get to take the boys to school on Fridays and pick them up on the
Fridays I have them. I have them more
Fridays more than I don’t. This is a
real positive.
Honeywell still lacks any warmth or personality. It is a cold office and a cold culture. I’m sure it will gain some personality as I
get to know some of the people, but it is not inviting. It lacks almost entirely the felling of team
that I’m used to. If I can survive and
learn how to be a project manager, it is my goal to bring some personality and
warmth to that place. My organization is
supposed to double in the next 10 months…we will see.
I have the boys for the weekend. I have a job.
It’s not the plan I had in mind a year ago, but it is a start. I have some things to workout in my
head. Time will help.
I need to be positive, I need to be thankful. I need to be patient.
Week 1 of my Honeywell career is complete. 2012 is going to be a good year.
