My Journey from Dead End Job to Success

[passit1]

Was going to complete revisions on task 2 part 2 today cause it's my day off but a family matter needs to be addressed so it's off to mom's for lunch. I plan on getting it done tonight when I get home.

Tomorrow is also a day off from work - as long as the revisions are done and uploaded tonight, I'll do task 3. That one involves addressing a specific real world business problem with the company's consent. I spoke to my Ops Mgr and HR director at work. As long as they feel OK with it when they read the the proposal, they'll sign off on it. I'll be working on the problem statement Friday and will send it to Amazon and WGU at the same time. It needs to be approved by the WGU course mentor before I can upload it to WGU so I'm hoping the course mentor approval and Amazon OK come in at the same time. Then I'll upload the problem statement and multiple approval forms for task 3 grading.

Tasks 4 and 5 are an executive summary and Panopto PowerPoint recording based on my recommendations to address the business challenge. Providing all the approvals happen quickly and task 3 meets requirements, I should be able to finish at least task 4 next Thur & Fri. And then task 5 the week after that meaning I'll be done as my daughter finishes 5th grade.

If I wasn't so close to being done, I'd put it on hold until next year. There is so much to learn at the new job, I need to take work home to complete it on top of the WGU work. Ending up in the sandwich generation, I'm trying to manage my family and keep an eye on my mother since my dad passed last year. It's so much. Once I'm done with WGU in a few weeks, that's about 12 - 15 hours a week I get back which will make a huge difference.
