Skills

An almost too relaxing weekend left me ill prepared for the ravages of the workplace. Happy Monday it is now officially time to put both feet on the gas and drive your car off a bridge.

Today I started on a validation project that is bothersome to say the least. I would never bore with the details of date and product sorting, or referencing of claim id's but lets just say that I am not bouncing into this task with the furror of anything more then a recently fed house cat who just found a sunny spot on the rug.

It's times like these where you begin to question what you're doing with your career. I am well aware that these first years out of college are not going to always be globe trotting and hand shaking, but these task do nothing but assist in the lingering doubt that your career for a time is locked in permanent stasis.

My goal is to find that bright light at the end of the tunnel. In this rather mundane data scrub I want to find one piece of value, one glimmer of insight. It could be in time taken to complete the task to be later used in time budgeting or it could be a new method of madness that helps ease the several hours of line study typically before me.

And with that I should go. Im starting to use my penchant for rambling to allow myself to deviate from task. Perhaps that is todays lesson learned.
