This week marks my 6th month at work! I started work in August and in a flash it is now already February.

August –  Started as a total noob. Almost job hop after 3 weeks at work to some start-up company. Absorbing like a sponge. Average 11 hour workday.

September – Busy. Becoming proficient at my work. Has some insights and knowledge. Still learning. Average 11 hour workday.

October – Work like mad. Realizing that I am resolving more then half the team’s issues. Average 12 hour workday. Multitasking.

November – Work like insane. Multitasking god knows how many things. Tired go home, wake up go work. Given Monthly Program Champion Award. Got promoted with pay rise and good benefits. Average 14 hour workday.

December – Work like mad sometimes. Still multitasking. Finally had some time with loved ones. Average 11 hour workday.

January - Work like mad again. Some not so desirable outcome with my project. Spends most of my time away from my desk fighting fire. Average 11 hour workday.

February - Feels odd having ‘normal’ workload. Taking initiative to value add. Ongoing. Uncertain of what is to come. Still looking forward to go to work everyday. Average 10 hour workday.
