3.5 mths review

I missed doing a review of my 3rd month with this company. Doing a late 3.5 month one instead.

There were a couple of learning opportunities given by the director. I have taken them on, with an effort to get the best out of them. Nonetheless it can be daunting at times; dabbling with things I have not done before. But I am thankful for a supportive boss.. a demanding but still relatively reasonable director..and good colleagues I can share woes with.

The overall performance of the company remains unimpressive. The quarter in red will land the company in a sub-optimal financial position for the whole year. There is a whole lot to catch up on for the next 3 quarter. As we begin 2nd quarter, I am still not seeing the light. The management is getting all jittery about it. I am finding the peformance demoralizing because it will mean the company will have less to reward its people with. It will mean more cost cutting measures too. I am trying to not let the monetary issue get in the way and turn my focus on the learning opportunities and growth. The six months mark to confirmation still seems far out of sight.

The target is still set at 2 years for the moment. I have completed almost 3.5months out of 24. 85% or 20.5 months to go.

Dearie had finished his exam yesterday, finally marking the completion of his 2nd term. We have just 1 more year to go and we know it will be worth all the time and effort.
