last day

Today is my last day with Honeywell Aerospace ERP Team. I'm so happy to get a new start. It's been a nice 2.5 + years here but I'm ready to move on. I enjoyed some of it but it's been the most stressful job I've ever had. I've learned a lot. One thing I learned is I don't ever want to be on the Honewell Aerospace ERP Team ever again. I had a crummy desk, crummy area in a smelling building with no windows. It smells like a mixture of BO and oil. I'm 48 miles (one way) from home and usually very tired. I rode the Vanpool here so while it did save me gasoline $$ it killed my days. I'd leave at 6:00 am from my house and not get to work untill 7:30 Then I'd leave at 4:00 pm and not be home until 5:30. 11 1/2 hour days are tough when you are used to only be gone about 9. Here is a picture of my work area. IT'S TERRIBLE. I'ts like an old 1950 wood desk with sharp corners in the middle of a room with a fakey cube wall. Me and 4 other people in a "bullpen" type area. Very loud and uncomfortable.

So i start my new Job on Monday at Honeywell Corporate Finance IT. It is a project manager's job. I'll be closer to home and have better work hours. I'll be leaving really early in the morning but will be home earlier in the afternoon. So it will be like 6-3 or so. Also there is a gym much closer and more places to go. It's in Tempe instead of Phoenix so while it is only about 12 miles closer to home it is about 30 minutes closer (maybe more since I'll go in earlier). I'll post a picture of my new work area if I can. Overall today is great day! Also Hornets Football starts tomorrow Game Time 8:00 am! Next week check out www.gotsting.com for a full update of the game.
