Another new beginning

Hello all,

I started a new job 2 weeks ago and have already learned a lot on it. So far I have learned a lot about the company, performed benefits enrollment and even checked applicant's references.

Everything else is pretty much the same. Went home for the holidays. Saw some movies with friends and family. Out of Avatar, Sherlock Holmes and Nine, Avatar was the best. Did some dancing and will go again tonight.

Hope you are all doing well. Talk to you again soon.

Endings and beginnings

So next week will be my last week at my temporary job. It has been fun; I learned a lot, met some great people and had a good time. I am still continuing to get my certification in Human Resource Management and so I started the Employee Relations and Talent Management classes this past week and I am also in the middle of taking the Benefit Plans and Effective Performance Management classes. I am also doing more networking via informational interviews which is so helpful. Everyone has different experiences, advice and a different story to tell. They are all extremely helpful and I can't wait to talk to more professionals.

Last week I saw Whip It, which was a good movie. And I went to Le Bal des Vampires. There were a ton of people, in a variety of costumes, doing all sorts of dances. And this weekend I learned Argentine Tango at eastbaywaltz and went to see Othello. I had not seen the play performed since high school and thoroughly enjoyed it. I really enjoy watching Shakespeare's plays especially the comedies. Although Othello isn't comedic, it was still very moving and good to watch.

Office Parties and socializing

On Friday, my office had a Halloween party. It was a great way to socialize with other employees. These are the colleagues that you don't see everyday, the ones who work in different departments or just walk by your door and all you do is wave and smile at them and that's it. It was great to see everybody again because even though we are all together 5 days a week we are all so busy with our work that we rarely have time to really sit down and talk with one another.
