Ok after the last post about being a geek I said I would explain my job situation. Yes mom and dad I still have a job don’t worry. I wont be asking you for large sums of money this month. There is always next month however he he he
. OK back to business. I guess really the best place to start any story is at the beginning. I was hired and started working at PlattForm in May 2006. I was hired as a Web Designer.
My role as a web designer was to design and developer client web sites, email marketing pieces, banners, etc. Three or so months after starting I was approached by a couple of managers to move over to the web master team. I agreed and moved over a few weeks later. My duties as a Web Master was very similar to that of the web designer however we only worked on internal sites. This role was geared more towards coding rather than designing. Which i seem to prefer.
I was enjoying my role as a Web Master quite well until one day we got called into a meeting with our boss. In the meeting we were told that we would be moving departments to programming and we would have new managers. It was a scary thought being a programmer I had disliked programming ever since college where I had failed miserably at programming classes. Our new title was now Web Engineer. With the move of the web master team the web design team would be loosing some of their duties. They would no longer be doing any coding. They would only be designing, where as the Web Engineers roles expanded to include coding of both internal and client sites and various other HTML based items.
The transition has been rough with all the new processes. We are slowly getting up to speed and here in a few months we should be one mean coding machine. AND WE ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER
