I’ve been promoted to head of QA for the company I work for. I will be doing the quality checking/auditing and manual-writing. I officially started today, auditing refurbished goods and ensuring they were tested correctly. I also started rewriting the manual which guidelines the entire testing process, too. A lot’s been changed since that manual was written, most of it due to me. Who better to rewrite it, eh?
I now get a company email address, get included in business meetings, and *gasp* a company laptop that I can take home with me. Which actually means I’ll be able to pick and choose any one of the laptops that go through our warehouse. Acer’s got some pretty sweet machines, that’s for sure. I’m a bit weary on using Vista but I’ll probably dual-boot it with Ubuntu. And I need Vista there because my work requires me to use it 90% of the time.
More responsibility = more $$$ too. I haven’t officially gotten a raise yet because they wait until the 3-month mark for that. Quite convenient that my 3-month is just a little over a week away.
I’m pretty stoked. I was blown away this morning when we had our company meeting and during the Powerpoint there was an entire slide that outlined my new job to everyone. Wasn’t really expecting that, but now everyone knows who to yell at when they’re told they’re doing something the wrong way. Lucky me. I’m sure it won’t be so bad though… if people do their job right, they have
nothing to worry about.
