20 day later.......
Okay so, what has happened in the past twenty days?
Work related:
I got my employee evaluation last week, and well, it was okay, but I need some areas of improvement.
The first and the one I agree with, is my writting. I know it sucks. I make spelling errors all the time, I might not be consice when I need to be. I might not make sense all the time when I am trying to explain things. I know this is my greatest weakness as an employee to any company and to my life.
The second, I need to multitask more. There are times when I am waiting for something to happen, a build, an install, etc, when I appear to sit there and read comics/stare/whatever. I need to be doing more. MORE! What the hell?! Who just did 90% of the work for their team this release? I do what I can during those down periods, like update docs, check email, do quick fixes due to code audits. It is just sometimes I have nothing to do durring these down times. I am caught up with my time sheets because I do them every day at the end of the day. I am commented and wrote down everything I have done in our tracking system and closed all of the items assigned to me. That is crap! Yes, I have down periods and yes during those times it might look like I am not being productive, but I don't have anything productive to do.
The third thing is I need to be more focused. I get distracted when people enter my cube pack and have conversations with others in my cube. Sometimes I disengage from my work to listen in on the conversation and enter the conversation on my own. That is true, but I only do that if I have some down time and are not focused on my work. Plus, while I am listening to the conversation, I am trying to learn and give seeing if I have any input into the conversation. Does my opinion not matter? Am I do just focus on my work and not a problem my teammate is having? Am I a suppose to be a drone and not turn attention away from my work? What the hell is up with that? I enjoy it when people stop by my cube farm and gives me distractions. It make work somewhat fun. If I have to get something done because of a deadline or something, I can focus and block out everything. All work and no play makes Til something, something.
So, I think it might be time to look for another job.....
I have been working 9 hour days the past 2 weeks. It is release time again, and well, I have been the MAJOR tester for this release. I have probably found have the bugs that were fixed in the past two weeks. While everyone else is working hard doing coding, I have been testing... and been bored. GAH!
Personal:
Been spending time with friends. Last weekend was awesome. It started with me going with L and big J to the Harry Potter Book 7 release party downtown. It was really cool, though there were too many people for my liking. Had many laughes and chuckles! Saw some street performs perform and had some food. Too bad it was soo damn hot.
Next we went to Awen's house. We spent some time there and Awen drove L home which left me alone with Big J, Alright! Giggidy! Then we went to a local pub for some drinks, well they drank I didn't. We were joined by Blue Beard (I will call him Blue Beard, BB, because he has blue hair and a beard) and many good times continued. At closing time we went back to Awen's home for more drinks and laughter.
It was a good night. I stayed out until 6 AM and was up for 24 hours that day!
On Saturday, I got to go see Harry Potter movie with Marvel and trocar. It was a good movie, but kind of disapointing because I know all the back stories for the characters from the book and lots of missing. And a lack of that cute Tonks in the movie made Til sad.
Well, that is all I have going on right now. I wish I could get out more and see my friends, but that is life. Oh, well.
Until next time, have a great day readers!
