I started a new job this month. I really can’t say where, but it it is with a financial services New Hampshire. It is exciting and a bit stressful starting a new position, but I really like the company, people and position. After years of working inside without windows, I have a large office with windows that is next to lake Winnipesaukee. I don’t have time to look at the view but there is something about having the light beam in during the day that is energizing.
My position is Network Analyst which has me maintaining and monitoring communications between branches, managing servers and systems and providing support to the department. I can’t get into details, but it is safe to say there are many new tools, devices and applications. The environment is highly secure and formal in most regards, which I like. My new position allows me to manage people, projects and has enough new technology and duties to keep things interesting. My new supervisor is sharp, challenging and so far seems to be fair. We approach some things differently, which isn’t a bad thing.
The commute for me is longer than before but it is against the grain so I don’t see a lot of traffic. The views of the mountains are spectacular and I see little something new on each trip. I did realize quickly that going north brings you into snow much sooner so looks like I may need to steal Rosie’s wagon on the real bad days. Obviously it ideal to work close to home, but If i have to drive or spend significant time in my car the mountains beat the city any day.
