Happy Anniversary To Me!

Today I have been at my job for 3 years! Not to bad, not the longest job I have ever had, but none the less, it is an accomplishment. Seeing as when I started here, there was absolutely no one to train me on the job. I knew the basics because I have been in Quality Assurance for ever! So 50% of it was a cake walk.

As for the other 50%..well that was a little less than desired. There was no one to train me on parts of the job that were new to me. There was no one to say these are the reports you need to take care of.

I can remember being in this position for 2 months and I get a call from the VP of Sales asking me why I hadn’t done the RMA Charts for June, July and August. The same person wanted to know where my end of fiscal year report for RMA’s was. HUH?? The fiscal year ended in June, it was now the end of August.

Then 3 weeks after that I received a tag team call from the Purchasing Manager and the Finance Officer wanting to know why I had $150,000.00 in the nonnettable stock location for RMA’s & MRB’s..Ummm

About the same time I was supposed to be closing and authorizing the closing of these said RMA’s. I’ll tell you I was lost and no one was there to help me. I came from a Heat Treating Facility, we offered a service, we didn’t make anything. So the RMA’s were a new thing for me.

I can say that it has been an interesting 3 years, some good times and some bad times. People come and go, one day they are here, the next they are gone! Well, here is to another year!!!

(I hope :0)
