this week i took a little field trip downtown for work. since my company is merging with HIP, they're trying to merge the databases together & it almost seems... like an impossible feat. my company actually got the upper hand in keeping our database & that resulted in the other side having to learn our system & some pretty bitter/ ANGRYYY people. gosh. so for the past 3 days, we've been cooped up in a room for 9 hours hacking out what they want to keep/add onto/get rid of under the umbrella company. and the fun goes on and on and on...
yea. i'm not sure why i was invited to these meetings. half the time i don't know what these databases configure into & so i sit bleary-eyed in my corner, chug their ample supply of free coffee & try to perk up every time my senior director turns around.
one thing that i really liked is the location. the waterfront view is beautiful. the building has its own mini park overlooking the brooklyn bridge & staten island ferry. i went out there for my lunch breaks & just soaked in all the sunny goodness. i guess that's one of the few positives in all of this .. corporate chaos.
i'm just kinda worried & re-thinking if i really want to stay with this job. it's definately for someone who wants the corporate america thing & wants to excel up the ranks. they've definately given me the opportunity to do that by offering the position that i have now. but i don't really want the corporate thing. my coworker was telling me that i don't have to worry about job placement; my resume with all the experience will get me into any health insurance company. but... i wanted to tell her- who wants to stay in health insurance?? lol.
but i'm not ready to start anything new!!! wat a bum! my dream would be to take 3 months off & travel all of europe, africa & australia... and be a bum. bumminy bum bum.
