It was a pretty exciting day for me today. I've been working for the same company for 3 years now in the Field Service group. I've learned a lot, and have busted my ass in this position ever since I started. It required a lot of travel and took a lot out of me over the last 3 years.

But today things changed. I had an interview a couple weeks back for a new position within the company. Just this morning the Software Engineering Supervisor called me into his office and gave me an offer and I accepted. I'm now going to be a Software Engineer for the company. I think it's pretty cool as I have no college degree, only the free Military schooling that I got my first couple years in the military, and only 3 years of experience with this company. I'm really excited! The job doesn't require nearly as much travel as the old position did. I will still travel here and there because Field Service is in dire need of people, and I'm sure I'll be called upon to help here and there when I can. I'm also hoping I get assigned to the new AP1000 nuclear plant design so I can be a part of designing something that Tom is completely against!! There's already been 8 of them ordered, 4 of them being for the US. The first US nuke plants purchased since the 70's.

Anyhow, just thought I'd share my good news! yeehaw!
