Certifiably Happy
I am once again a certified dork. I passed a certification exam for my job. I am now a CVE, which stands for Certified Videoconference Engineer. I am happy about this accomplishment. I am most happy that my new job is going so well. I am going to be insanely busy at work no doubt, but it's in a good way (or so I hope!). I feel like a part of my brain has awoken again. I feel like I'm part of a great team, a part of something successful and exciting. I am amazed at what a good fit this position is for me. It is the perfect balance of technical and customer interaction. The technology is fun! I am eating up all of this knowledge like crazy, and I love it! Also, I have finally gotten over the slips of saying the name of my former company when I refer to where I work.
Actually, a good tangent here. That slip up really bothered me. More times than I care to admit, I would be taking to someone and accidentally say former company's name instead of new company. Every time it happened, I felt scorned and very annoyed. Now I am pleased to say that I no longer do this. It is now natural to say new company's name. I guess it was 7 years of habit that had to be broken. But back to the good stuff.
I am happy. Certifiably happy.
