Enjoy

I really like my job. They feed me. I learn things. I get to have the occasional bit of input. It keeps me busy. I do a lot more now than I did when I first started - I can definitely see a difference in the amount of responsibility they're giving me. O, and they let me be in the same room as the clients from time to time. So far it's a "Be seen, but not heard" situation, though at the last meeting I chirped up when they started talking about the amount of mirrors in a ballet room.
Today was Vanessa's birthday. The Lincoln Center team decided to all go to a place called Markt. It's a Belgian Cafe that serves all sort of Belgian beers and ales. Trappist ales included! When everyone else ordered a glass of wine or beer, I decided, heck, why not if everyone else is doing it. It was the most delicious Hoegaarden I have ever had, almost cinammon-y. I don't know too much about beers, but I think it was because it was on tap instead of out of a bottle that it was more flavorful. And since it was Vanessa's birthday, we didn't have to pay! Good because my meal would have been around $30 without tip...
Another funny thing - even though everyone was sent out to Revit training at the office, some of the higher ups aren't too familiar with the program due to the fact that they do very little of the actual documents. They just make the big decisions, mark up drawings and talk to the clients. Today, my boss decided to get into the model himself and was absolutely petrified. He had me stand next to him while he copied and pasted a copy of the central file to his local drive and resave under a different name. I suppose I was a little afraid of the whole central file idea myself, at first. Knowing you could possibly screw up the entire model by corrupting the main file makes one a little tense. Fortunately, Mercedes had just made an archived copy just the night before, so if anyone screwed up the current one, we'd have only lost a day of work. I am so glad I took Kristen's class in college.
