Well I've made it through my first two days of work. There is so much to learn when you start a new job. I would multiply that by ten for this particular job. It involves so much responsiblity and I am really humbled by the opportunity.
I am really enjoying the subject matter and researching, learning about and analyzing the issues. I can foresee becoming very involved and dedicated to this career. After all, that is what this is meant to be both from my perspective and my boss'. He wants me to be around for a while and right now I'd say that is very exciting to me.
I'll be traveling a lot for this job, more than ever before. Once things are in full swing I'll likely be on the road (more like in the air since many of our clients are out-of-state) once a week or so. It will mean some adjustments for us but ones that we are willing to make.
Thanks for all your support. I look forward to hearing from many of you!
