So my leave of absence lately has been due to a promotion I received at work. For the last two weeks I�ve been in training. I moved from a tax group to an accounting group.

The Pros So Far:
-Bump up in pay.
-More responsibility which in turn means more work.
-I�ve been told that if I can get this job down, then I can do any job in this company
-Unlimited overtime!!
-An actual path/track I can follow to keep moving up in the department.
-It�s a 2nd shift job. (I can go to bed late and sleep in late!!)

The Cons So Far:
-I lost my cubicle and am now in a �partition� which means very much less privacy which sucks.
-No chance to blog or surf anymore.
-I�ve been told the learning curve for the position is at a minimum 2-3 months.
-It�s a 2nd shift job. (I don�t get out until after midnight)

So far I like the people I work with. They�re very laid back and down to earth people which I like because I hate working with fake people. The job itself is pretty damn time consuming hence the unlimited overtime. A lot of it is still a bunch of jibba jabba but I�m confident once I get more hands on experience I�ll be able to knock it out of the park. The bump up in pay is definitely appealing to me. More money going into the 401k and more spending/saving money in general. Is it what I think I should be getting paid for my education and experience? HELL NO!! But for the time being it�ll have to do. Next May marks my 2 year anniversary with the company. As a 2 year out of college graduate all I want to do is put in that time to get that experience regardless of the pay at this point. I�m confident the big wigs at this place will recognize and realize what I have to contribute to the company and in due time I�ll have the position and pay I think I deserve. Until then I just have to keep on doing the damn thing and stay on the grind.
