Fast Mondays

Mondays do seem to go by very fast.  First thing I do when I come in is review my time sheet from last week for accuracy & submit it through our internet portal.  Next thing I know it's time for our weekly T3 conference call which lasts about an hour. Our division members from KC, Chicago, Ohio, Houston, Dallas & Ontario Canada discuss the proposals & projects we're working on, see where we can assist one another, etc.

 At noon we have our weekly KC Office meeting which also lasts about an hour.  We all gather in our conference room with our lunch and have a round table about projects we're working on, who needs help with projects, upcoming training courses, regulatory reporting deadlines, & sometimes a colleague gives a brown bag.  Today's brown bag was given by our Business Development Manager & was the second in a series on SEM (Sustainability and Environmental Management).

I've spent some time today going through old email & coordinating my calendar.  Next week I'll be taking a road trip with two other Consultants to a client site to install an upgrade of our VEMS (Visible Emissions Monitoring Software) PDA software.  The next week I have the ESS Essential Suite EMIS certified implementer training in our office.  Mid May I'm going to Dallas to work with another T3 Consultant & get some training on another brand of EMIS called opsEnvironmental.  I'm hoping to get approval for another training while I'm there - my Regional Director has recognized my background in corporate security & thinks there may be an opportunity for Trinity to offer security consulting services to our clients relating to CFATS (Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards) Security Vulnerability Assessment & Chemical-Terrorism Vulnerability Information Programs.  We're always looking for ways to capitalize on our experience & offer more services to our clients.  It feels great to be empowered to look for ways to generate new business & be an active participant in the business, rather than being a prairie dog in a cubicle farm - been there, done that - Boring!
