Work was pretty good. Found myself in one of those situations where I was actually helping people out. Well, more than the usual at least. Found some solutions to some problems and contributed during meetings.It's a really good feeling.
Flip side to this is that I don't see or feel any results yet. The office is heading towards a place that rewards results and not effort, and as much as it sounds bad, I can't help but agree. For things to stop being "work in progress", things need to get done. It amazes me how much the company has changed since I left. Everyone's being driven to step up and make things happen. Good energy there.
Funny thing happened during the last meeting of the day, I was asked what my goals for the next 6 months were. I mentioned the reports I was doing and my plans of making them useful to managers and then...blank. CEO says, if that's all you're doing then why not just hire a part time? I felt total fear for my job for one second. Of all the things I know I did, nothing came up and out from my mouth. Was me doing this or that count as a goal? Was I actually getting things done? Was it confirmed I was playing too much ping pong? Crap!
But then things came back and I was able to come up with other stuff to do. Still don't know if those counted as actually useful goals to help the company progress but they passed for today. Next week's a powerpoint presentation of each department and I think that's when I should make up for it. Time to make a super presentation of my one man team and blow their minds away.
Work is fun.
