This page is intended for friends and family that I don't
get to see or talk to on a regular basis so they can keep up with what's
going on with my life (that is if anyone is interested).
03/01/2001: Well, it' s now official, I am no longer an employee
of Hernandez Engineering. The new contractor took over today and I have
been hired by them as a part-time fixed employee. Basically, I work for
at least 20 hours a week and I still get all the company benefits with the
exception of tuition reimbursement (but I already get that through the fire
department and the Maryland State Scholarship Admin. so no big deal really).
I'm saving mom and dad a ton of money because now work pays for full medical
including vision and dental, life insurance, and 401K with a percentage
of my funds contributed matched by the company. Not bad for a girl only
working part time and without a degree in her hands yet. Plus, I was moved
out of the reliability sector back into safety. My new project will be the
Hitchhiker. I won't bore you with all the details of it, but I'm pretty
excited. I even get a new office...one much nicer than the one I'm in now.
I'll email everyone my new extension at work when I get all moved in (they
phone isn't hooked up yet). As for health issues, I go back to the doctor
on Wednesday the 7th. I went about 2 weeks ago but they couldn't perform
the test that they were supposed to. The good news is that it looks like
there are no new growths so as long as my test comes back negative, I get
to move up from going back every 3 months to every 6 months. That's it for
now, check back often for updates.
