New Job

Well I have been at the job for a week. I have some thoughts and observations...I look mean when I am concentrating; the people part will be the hardest part of this job; I don't think like other people; I am going to be working long hours; I wish everyone could just get along; I wish I could say what I think to everyone and not have them get offended, since I think that is what I was really hired to do; I am excited; I am afraid of how bad my house is going to get while I am never there; I am tired thinking about it; I hope it is not as many hours as it looks like it is going to be; I hope I have time to do my calling justice; I like work; I am good at it; I am glad I can finally say that without being embarrassed.

What I have been hired to do: I am the Training and Procedures Manager for the ACES Project. ACES stands for Accounting and Compliance Enterprise System. It is essentially the replacement of the Tax Accounting System. Tax Branch has 1700 employees and I am part of the Organizational Change Management Team and will work to develop the training plan for the Branch and the development of any procedures associated with the change. I can't get any more detailed than that because I don't know any more detail than that. Right now I know that I am working with the vendor who has a training manager and a trainer on board...what they will do as opposed to what I will do I have yet to discover.
