Without much further ado....

So me.  What has been going on with me the last 4 months.  Work. Work. Work. and probably some more work.  The company I work for has been expanding and growing like gang busters lately, which in this economy and in our industry is awesome and really unheard of.  While most engineering firms are laying people off still, we are hiring.  The problem?  The people that are getting laid off aren't the one's we want to hire, so we are are actively pursuing people that are currently employed at other firms.  Makes it hard.  We are working on it though.

My position with my firm is expanding, and I am taking on new challenges and tasks that are more on the business development side of things instead of actual project work.  Problem is, we are limited by our current staff on the projects they are able to complete, so that leaves me to fill both roles.  So I have been busy.  Very busy.

There is a lot more going on at my company, that at this time, I really can't talk about yet.  However, it consumes a lot of my day.  Thinking about it, processing it, figuring out different strategies, etc.  The next year is going to be a bumpy ride.  I just hope I make it through!

In addition to all of this, our company is moving!  Our current office space isn't large enough to accomodate all of the staff we currently have or the staff we currently need!  So within the next 6 weeks - we need to move.  So we are busy trying to get that figured out.  I will try and remember to send a picture of my current view from my office and what my new view will be like.  Quite a difference if I do say so myself.

I know, not too exciting.  But this is what my 4 months have been.  Working, and keeping up with the girls.  I did get to go on probably the coolest site visit ever a month ago (I know work again), but it really was that cool.  It is the traffic operations center that is located in the MIDDLE of the Hanging Lakes Tunnels just outside Glenwood Springs.  For those of you that are familiar with the area, the Hanging Lakes Tunnels are located just East of Glenwood Springs.  Between the (2) tunnels is a control room.  Access to the control room is COMPLETELY AWESOME and freaky at the same time.  It was the most fun day trip I have had for work in awhile.
