The view out of my temporary window.

On Saturday (May 13th), I left the Hotel around 12:00ish and made my journey back home after really talking myself into needing to go home. It was worth it because I got to hang out with Matty P and his fiance and we even got to head out the new “European Village” in Palm Coast. That was definitely a pretty chill place with a piano bar, large cinema screens in the middle of the town and just a good ambiance all around. I wish that I could have hit that place up more often when I was back in Palm Coast. Oh well…

I’m back in Fort Lauderdale and come to think of it, I was barely gone for 24 hours. I made my trip back down around 12:30PM and got here in time to work some overtime at 4:00PM.

Now, this is a job for someone who likes to be really neat, clean, organized and get something going out of something that needs to be handled!!! What I mean is, I’m loving the fact that I get to implement tracking and auditing measures for the FOC Packet Folders! I like making this better or just improving procedures. Here’s a pic of the new office that I’m sitting in. I’m the only one around only because I chose to work some overtime. I’ll be needing every minute I can get. I also have a lot to do and finish, so it’s going to be awesome! THe window faces the main runway at Fort Lauderdale International too!!! It’s a great view.

My work place in the hotel room!

Well, I got to learn a little bit more about the Jepp bags today. This time, updating the entire set with a bunch of different stuff. I don’t think that I beat my other record, but I definitely got it right. I mean, there were a lot of updates! Nothing new to write really except that I was able to get some peeps monitors working today with their laptops for dual screening it, got wireless access, got my company e-mail yesterday, (enicolas@focusaircargo.com), met more people, and that’s about it. I couldn’t be more happier.

I’m going up to Flagler I think tomorrow with Justin to do a LOFT or something on Saturday or even Sunday. I still need to find a place to live here in Fort Lauderdale. Everything is so expensive!!! Anyone know anyone looking for peepes to be their renters? Oh yeah, that also reminds me, does anyone need a place up at Flagler? I’ll be having quite a bit of openings soon.

Schedule: My sun burn is getting better and I will continue to get better hopefully in the next two days. =) I’m going to to San Diego next Thursday on Southwest to see my gee-eff graduate from SDSU with her Masters on Friday. She’s coming back with me on Sunday to the FLL and hang out with me for a bit. I can’t hardly wait!

Well, this is it fellas! My temporary workspace. I have been able to find a little space in the back of the Technical Publications Department settle down. I’m connected on a LAN from another desk and just roll back and forth if I get an e-mail or whatever that is company related on my PC. As you can see, I have lots of papers on the desk and on the ground. The ones in the box at the “yet to be done” pile of LoadPlanner worksheets. There was a small printing error and I am going through each of them making a minor correction. It is a tedious job, but I’m loving every minute of it. I got to update some Jepps the other day, and created a whole box of ETR tags. That implies placing a wire through a hole and twisting the protector sleeve and wire tethering them together. So, either than that, there are little things that I am able to help out with here and there throughout the office, and I look forward to everyday!

I had some excellent sushi with a coworker last night on Las Olas Blvd. called Shizen which proved to hold its own. I have to admit that the service on a scale of 1-10 was a -5. I mean, standing around waiting to be seated with 4 workers passing by, waiting forever for the bill, it wasn’t that nice of a place to eat except for the ambiance. The food did make up somewhat for the lack of attention. I mean the food was excellent and the pricing was a little above average. I’m definitely going to hit that place up again, but we’ll have to be crossing our fingers to see how the service will pan out. Thanks again Mike for dinner and lunch today!

My first World Jepp, 46 lbs. Flight Bag update. It consists of 8 2-inch binders! Completed in 2 hrs and 45 minutes. I will get faster!
