What Do I Do?

So we should all know I work in Aurora, CO (suburb of Denver) while I have Minka and Jareth finishes flight school in Alabama. But you may not know what I do that brought me here in the first place.

Some details have been omitted or changed to protect the privacy of confidential information.   Thus ensuring I still have a paycheck after I post this :)

The company that I work for has offices all over the world.  We are one of the worlds largest privately owned companies in the world and is headquarted in Minnesota with a large base of our business done in the United States.  When I worked from Fargo and in Alabama I worked for one office and I transferred to another part of the company when I took the offer in Aurora.  My work is project based with a duration of about a year.  (which means in about 8 months it will be time for yet another change.  I think I live to make my life challenging.  I wouldn't have it any other way.)  So when I took the offer from the location in Aurora, I had a lot of learning to do.

Here is a quick story for the basis of the project in the first place.

Back in the 1940's our company was started as a single business.  Over the years the business grew and grew to purchase other types of businesses, acquire new assets, expand their market and merge with other companies.  Over time managing all of the data has become less than desirable.  The company has decided to consolidate our information into one main system and ensure each part of the business is true to the company name and is held to the same standards to yield higher returns and increase our stance in the market.

Because the company is so large it will take years to roll this out but we are attacking it one chunk at a time. It is my job to learn the business in Aurora the best I can as it is run today while learning the new way of operations.  I am also trying to learn a new city, how to do this single parent thing, a little spanish and support my husband from across the country.  Let's just say my plate is full.  Overflowing.

 I landed in Aurora with three suticases, a backpack, a diaper bag, an infant in her carseat on a huge stroller. I went to the address I was instructed to and found where I would be living (they did a good job on this one thank the Lord!).  Work started the day after I arrived and my life has been BUSY ever since.

I do have spare time on the weekends, when Minka is staying with family, or when she is in bed for the night.  But by that time I want to rot my brain with junky TV and avoid thinking if at all possible. 

I hope that helps you understand what my life is like everyday.  Oh yeah and I get to come home to the cutest baby in the world which makes everything else worth it.
