As always, work has kept me busy and will continue to do so. I'm finally going to get another analyst for my department, which means I might actually get to finish a project that I've been working on for a few years that continues to get pushed to the back burner. Plus, our new IT Director gave me a very high compliment after a meeting I ran. I guess my inner techie shined a little too much. Maybe I should consider a career change?
My boss has been trying to schedule trips to the UK and Asia for us to catch up with the controllers there, but we've had a lot of scheduling issues. Thankfully we will not be going to the UK this month since its already jam packed with stuff to do, but I'll be heading to Asia in March. I've never done it before, but I'm thinking about taking a few extra days at the end of this trip to go someplace for fun. But where to go? I've never traveled in Asia for leisure. And since I'll be alone, I want to make sure I'm going some place safe.
I'm also sitting on two advisory boards right now, one for Microsoft and one for a user group for an ERP system. I started out with the user group as just a regular user going to the conference to learn more. The next year I went I was asked to be a speaker, which was a completely new experience for me. Despite nerves, I did a decent enough job that they asked me to be a track leader the next year. Now I've filled the Quality Control role on the advisory board. I've never done anything like this before, so my fingers are crossed I pull this off.
And then there's derby. Not only am enjoying my rookie season on my home team, I've been rostered for my very first travel team game coming up next week. I am SO excited to be getting the opportunity to skate with other girls from my home league. Friends not involved in derby are always surprised by how many days a week I practice, plus trips to the gym, but it's paying off. Can't wait to report on this game!
Here's to 2014 being amazing!
