Here is the promised 'end of the year' post that I had started writing long back but did not get a chance to complete until now. Read on...
Last year was a great learning experience. I worked on lots of interesting projects such as NSR permit applications and Permit By Rule applications for agricultural, chemical, and petroleum refinery facilities, compliance tools for chemical plants, and dispersion modeling for various facilities. The one project that I learned most on was an on-site compliance assistance task. I was responsible for day to day multimedia compliance at this site and it involved interacting with plant personnel and state environmental commission folks. All in all, it was an interesting year!
It was not all smooth sailing; there were times when we were scrambling to meet project delivery deadlines, when errors were detected in the deliverables right before they were to be submitted to the client and we had to re-do them and still meet the delivery deadline! There were a lot of set-backs, lot of challenges, some failures and a lot of learning!
Also, I got my performance review for last year! At Trinity, performance review is done twice a year; in June/July and then again in Nov/Dec. A salary review is also performed during the Nov/Dec performance review each year. A typical performance review includes self-review, peer-review, supervisor-review, and HR-review. My experience regarding performance review at Trinity has been very positive. I have always come out of Mike's office after a performance review feeling confident, motivated and charged up to face future challenges!
Life at Trinity is not 'all work and no play'! During the course of the year, our Corpus team enjoyed several dining and sporting events. Checkout our pictures below!
