work is work?

this past week has been the most stressful week of work ever and the days have gone from 8 am to 630 pm and later every day of the week. not that cool. its been real hard but it looks like it should settle down in another week or two. i think its only like this now because we are in the middle of a release.

my job

so friday was a good day for me. after a couple meetings with my manager and the manager of our team we nailed down what my role on the team will be pretty well. i am on the cvp team which lives in the IT group, cvp stands for the customer velocity platform team. we pretty much build web apps for the website that is a connection for microsoft business customers and microsoft. this is definitely a relief as now i have something to grasp and start focusing on. i was originally placed as a developer which would definitely have been interesting as i have never truly wrote much code before. but anyways, my manager told me that it wasn't a big deal since they were also looking for a PM anyways so that it would be best to just place me there. so my role will be as a PM (program manager) which is sweet because thats what i had originally wanted to do when i first interviewed with them. basically i will be a middle man between the businesses and the developers, through meeting with the business reps and seeing what our customers want in our product, i will spec that up to present to the developers to decide on what can be done and the best way to do it. i think this will be a great role for me and something i will definitely be able to excel and succede at. so yea that starts on monday and should be cool so hopefully i can get up to speed quickly and start impressing some people.
