Goals

I had my review at work today. I sent my initial cut-and-paste-from-the-previous-one review form two days ago, but after I sent it I realized that I actually do have a career goal. Strange, perhaps for the first time ever I know where I want to go with it. So I told my boss today that I want to become a technology expert in the automation team, and I don't want a team-lead or any other kind of people management role. It's not like I haven't known it before, it's just that I suddenly realized I should probably tell someone at work about it. Then I got the speech about taking on a senior role in the future and how that will mean more work, meaning more overtime... and also apparently I need to talk to other QA people more about my work. She said someone had complained about it, but it could be just her figure of speech. It's true, I've been lately staying very much in my comfort zone and talking to people and explaining things to them is very much outside of it. Oh well, now that I know what I want I can actually start working towards it...

And talking about working towards goals, I formally told Jason and Kelly I want to take part in their apprenticeship program at the studio. I don't really know what's coming out of all these goals, the future seems really muddled right now.
