1 year
I have been with my current company for over a year and half now. That is a long time. There are 4 buildings on my campus and I went over to building 3 for a customer meeting on some project today.
The engineering guys were there and I had met them a year ago when I was first touring all the sites for training.
At the end of the meeting, he told me I was different. A year ago I was working out a lot with Nick and so I thought he noticed how I got a bit fat. Hahah. But he said my demeanor has changed.
We talked about it a bit and he said when I was new I was more excited and talked a lot faster. Now my pace is slow and I give time to take things in.
I was so happy afterwards. I have changed. When you are young, you run off when people tell you to do some thing. Now, I take the time to ask them what are the results they want from the directions so I am clear with the objective. I then let them know what I will do and then I repeat their directions back so we are in alignment.
I am not as green anymore. I am not as young. I feel it too. Turning 26 in 11 days. Time flies.
