A Houston Snow Day (Just In Time)

In case you missed it on Twitter, the news, or on the Weather Channel, it snowed in Houston earlier this Month.

As a native northerner (I'm from Ohio), a few flurries here and there is commonplace for me (I'm used to the white stuff falling from the sky), but things were a little different in Texas.

When it started to snow, I noticed that businesses started to close early and people were getting off the roads (including yours truly). My co-workers at Oil & Gas in Houston advised me of the same.

The best part was watching people take pictures of their snow covered cars with their smartphones.

Moving around the country and observing and living through different climates is one aspect of the IMLP Program that goes beyond one's daily work.

Rotation Halfway Point: Alana and Houston Skyline

Alana and the Houston Skyline It's hard to believe that it's the halfway point of my rotation (already- where does the time go?)

On IMLP, we follow a process related to how we track our progress on the project via an internal goals system.

The thing is, updates are due tomorrow, and mine aren't done (I know... I know...).

One of my IMLP friends at Corporate updated his Facebook status last night about the goal tracking tool, and there were quite a few comments and people "liking" it. (Even though we work for different businesses, we use many of the same tools).

One aspect of the program that I can't seem to shake is a feeling I get whenever I log into the goal tracking system.

I'm always asking myself: "Wow. Did I really do all of that in 3 months?"

The IMLP program is challenging (ask anyone) but looking back at my current rotation - where I started vs. where I am now - sometimes I have to pinch myself about the work that I've done and the value I've added to the project and the team.
