A man with a plan (and aspirations)
I recently started a new job and I set two goals: The first was to "Become comfortable in my new job/make it my own." I mention in this post how I went about achieving that.

How are you adding value?
With my new job I am getting the benefit of being in an innovative, constantly changing environment.
