TGIF!!!!!

To start out this morning’s blog I thought I would say HAPPY FRIDAY! So this was my first week of work and it’s almost complete. Newmont is a sweet company to work for; they pay really well and also treat you like family. So this week in recap, on Tuesday we had our company softball game and we won by the way, I played short stop and it seemed like every ball was hit right to me. So I played baseball growing up but I stopped playing in around 6th grade and it seemed to come back to me just fine. Well work has been going really good I have four different projects that I’m working on. One of them is to develop an inventory list of our machinery and call the vendors and get quotes, find the expected life of the machine and take all their contact info so when Newmont goes and buys the machines it will be easy for them. Also one other project I’m working on is an executive summary of BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Anglo American on what acquisitions and mergers these companies have had since the mid 1970s. Then to add to the report I need to add all of the patents these companies hold from the last thirty years. This may seem boring but actually it’s really interesting to learn about the top players in the mining world. So it’s Friday if you all haven’t noticed and I cant wait to see what Denver has to offer for a night life, since during the week I don’t do anything but work workout and sleep. I think Tyler and I are going to catch the light rail to 16th street, which is down town. Then next we I’m going to go to a couple Rockies games, since I have never been to a MLB game. Well everyone I’ll snap some pictures this weekend I hope you all had a great week and TGIF……… This picture is of my office here at Newmont, it's legit, I even have a window.
