A New Title, A New Year

So this year at work started off well. Last Decem­ber I was offered a new posi­tion in the same depart­ment and I took it. I’ve been in the same group/doing the same thing for about 5 years and I def­i­nitely needed a change. So far things are going well and I’ll be rolling out a new web­site next month. I’m pretty excited about it although I can’t really share since it’s a com­pany site not avail­able to the pub­lic. My new title is “Knowl­edge Devel­op­ment Ana­lyst” which means I help develop and man­age the train­ing for all the Cana­dian Tire Store staff across Canada. Or some­thing like that. It’s a bit open and the posi­tion itself is new, so it may involve some other things as well. My first big job is push­ing out the a fore men­tioned web­site which will be used as a vehi­cle to dis­trib­ute train­ing mate­r­ial. I’m pretty excited about that actu­ally and I’m sure it will be a great learn­ing expe­ri­ence with a lot of opportunities.

Oh, and I still help out at TextDrive (now a Joyent) in what I laugh­ably call my “free time”. Some very exit­ing things are under­way there and the next month or so will be very inter­est­ing. In the mean­time, I’m still work­ing on “this”:http://kb.textdrive.com/ as well as answer­ing the occa­sional sup­port ticket.
