Epic Return :)

Today is the day.  My epic return to the workforce has finally arrived :)  After a year hiatus I am anxious to return to the world of computers, chemistry, and accounting.  I'm a little nervous because even though I've been back to visit several times, I'm not sure what will have changed and what will have remained the same.  I know there have been a few position moves, some leavers and some new people, and I know one part of my job was put on hold until I could pick it up again and another part has been done by someone else for the past year, but I have no idea how the changes will affect me and how my return will affect others. As with my meeting last week to discuss my return I'm probably just over-analyzing the situation again.  It's not like my job position has changed or anything.

I work for a company that makes rubber flooring out of recycled tires, so yep on the side of nature :) and my job there was created special for me.  I amalgamate with their chemist, system administrator and accountant to keep everything running smoothly.  My background in chemistry lets me do some testing, research, and LOTS of documentation of processes, products and applications.  My background in accounting puts me in a position where I get to deal with money, invoices and banking and my above average computer skills are useful in working with their ERP system which is a great big computer program that has all of the stuff that an office needs to run (sales, accounting, production, etc).  So my job is a little bit of a mish-mash.

Last week I sat down with my CEO and my controller and we came up with a list of projects that I will be focusing on, as I will only be returning part-time to start with.  One of these projects is going to be to develop a new quality control process and design all the testing that goes along with it :)  I'm super pumped to be using my brain for something other than working out how much food/diapers to pack for a day trip to Vernon. 

So, today is the day!  My epic return has finally arrived and it is time to once again become a functioning member of society.
