It's been such a long time since I've blogged to my heart's content. Now, I'm blogging like it's perfunctory, like a mandatory memo I need to fulfill. But somehow, I feel the need to go back to it because as much only a very very very select few are granted permission to read and comment, they, este, YOU still look for this. And now that the biggest thing I have going on is my new job, then that would be blog-worthy. Woodmen is a very old company with average employee tenure being 18 years. 18 years!!! Seriously, the people who have worked in this insurance and finance business are sooo happy and just so contented and secure. Since they are a Fraternal non-profit organization, a lot of the money that goes in, goes out to its employees-slash-fraternal members and thousands of charities all over. I was hired to be one of the Business Analysts working on their, or should I say, OUR portal. What I like about my job now is that it's not customer-driven, at least not yet, so much of the functionalities and features have to be easy enough for tenured field agents. It's been a challenge but one day, we'll get to where we'll be. The team is a hilarious bunch, with a dozen of us being men and just 4 of us women. It was slow but work is starting to pick up for me now. The part I hate hate HATE the most is waking up sooo early in the morning and the 45-minute commute. I drop Hoen off at his office then go to mine. But for the past 2 days, it's been snowing in the morning that I have asked him to do the driving because I hate hate hate driving in the snow. That's the only suck factor right now. Otherwise, everything's a-ok. The cafeteria's awesome, I am 10 mins away from Zoe and Yien (have had lunch with Zoe twice) and come summer, the restos downtown will be just a walk away.
