Yaaaaay job is good!
Oct. 21st, 2008 05:11 pmFor one thing, I started. And worked the whole day. ;)
Beyond that, though, it actually seems like it's going to be a pretty cool job! I'm contracted through Aerotek at Beckman Coulter with an open-ended contract. I'm working with inventory at the warehouse in Indianapolis and my job is largely concerned with repairing broken machines. Basically, I make parts happen. When a machine breaks and a mechanic goes to fix it, if he doesn't have a part, he gets on his PDA and sends an order for that part. It comes to us and we figure out if we have the part in inventory or if it needs to be manufactured. Then we send it on to whoever it needs to go on to to be shipped to the mechanic to fix the machine to make the miracles happen.
That's the long and short of it, anyway. It's a lot of data-entry but it's not BORING data-entry like back at Chase. And, y'know... I get to make stuff happen. Making stuff happen is always fun. ;)
Oo! And I have my own CUBE. SWAAAAATE! Well I dig it, anyway. Plus my coworkers are very friendly and the office environment is nice. There's a good vibe there, methinks.
I have NO idea how long it's going to last because much of the job I'm doing now was at one point automated and they kinda want it to be again (it's kindof a big connect-the-dots game in some places), but hopefully I'll be there for at least a good while. At the very least I can get my foot in the door, and at the very VERY least, I'll be able to save back a bit to cover my ass should I end up landing on it again.
Plus it's ten minutes down the road and I don't have to be there until 10am. THAT is teh shyte roight THERE baby. ;D
Love,
Crystal
