After only about a month of looking for a new decent job after moving, I have landed myself, and just finished my second week of, a new field service-type job!

First week was out in New Orleans helping with an install, but the site wasn't ready and we found all sorts of other issues as we tried to do what we could (I also had no idea what was going on, not having been introduced to our comapny's gear yet). This last week was out in Jersey, doing training meant for 3rd party techs just in to get a refresher and tech access codes (so again, no clue what we were covering, but I still passed both tests).

This week I'll be in charge of getting our local office up and running, since I'm the only employee in the area so-far. I'm also promised that start of next year, I'm going to be back out to some other sites to help with things and MAYBE, just maybe, actually get some training on how to do my primary job function. XD

But yea, neat company, pays pretty well, got a company laptop and phone, eventually getting company van, will have my own spot at the office. I did, however, find the catch(es). Very annoying time tracking using an abysmal system. Oddball requirements for keeping several calendars up-to-date. And while it presents possibly many chances to be a part of making it awesome, the US service division is SMALL, and has less of a clue how to be a service division and work with its own gear than many of the 3rd parties it deals with. So... going to be some growing pains.

Anyways, it promises to be an interesting ride, and I'm actually eager to see where it takes me and how I can fix it! This may mean I just don't interact with online much, or it may mean I can afford to get one of those Note tablet/phone things with the wacom pen, and doodle and upload like that. :)

TLDR: Job got, been busy with it, likely to continue to be busy with it.
Also, you doods rock! Hope you are all having a good time and the holiday season treats you well!
