I started my new job at Southern California Edison at the beginning of December and boy has it been a wild ride ever since. I really enjoy my new job but I got put in part of a project that was already missing key dates and was put on the team to help get back up to speed and finish the project. Well this week marks the definite due date of this project and the last few weeks has been full of some really long hours. This is the second 50+ hour work week which is fine but it means I really have to maximize my weekend and this past weekend I feel like I really did.

I have been using Wordpress for a while now, and I have gone through a lot of changes in design. I actually kept the last one the longest mostly because I just thought it was simple and easy, but it was time for a change. Today I introduced a new theme, and I hope people find it more functional and a little bit more streamline. The new theme is much more simple and to the point and I think going forward it will give me all the flexibility I will need for any sort of posts.

In my lifetime I have never seen such anticipation for a political event as the inauguration and address of Barack Obama. I for one did not vote for Obama, nor do I agree with a lot of what he stands for, but I to was eager to see how today was going to go. Having to work today made it a bit more difficult to watch but never the less we were allowed to stream the address to our computers, and that is exactly what I did. I think the whole process of having one president leave and another take office is really intriguing. I mean the fluid transition of power is really remarkable and is always thrilling to watch each and every time it happens.

So I have been off and on, on my posting. I know, I know, I have said it a million times. I am going to get better. Well this time I am just going to say I am going to try harder. So I was flipping through the old television this past week and it seems as though the networks are airing their annual Christmas movies. I was thinking last night what are my 5 favorite Christmas flicks.

I was doing a recent search through Digg.com and one of the top stories was of this political cartoon on our current world economy. I am not going to give my opinion on the current economic status of our country and our world, but I thought this cartoon was both witty and comical.

Wow what a couple of months this has been. For the past six months since graduating from UC Irvine I got engaged, took an amazing trip to Europe, and now have landed full time employment. I am truly beyond words, I don't even know how to describe the feeling of relief and excitement I have with landing this job. So what is the job? I have taken a position as a Project Analyst at Southern California Edison. The position will entail a lot of computer work in Excel and Access both programs I am fairly familiar with and will hopefully lead to some great opportunities down the road. For those who don't know my current employer is Bank of America and there I work as a Senior Teller and it was past time for a change. I am really excited to move on and really open up my horizons. But I am not the only one with good news these days.
