Work Stuff

I really like my new job so far. I have been there a little over a month and am finally getting into the swing of things as far as what is expected of me. I don’t want to say who I work for or exactly what I’m doing there but I will say I am in sales. My position also required a lot of travel which is different for me. I am not used to ‘living out of a suitcase’ but I will get used to it. An average week will see me away from home 3 to 4 days depending on what is going on. The only thing I am not too fond of is all the miles I’m going to put on my car. I will just use it as motivation to do well so I can afford another one with lower miles. I still have a lot of life left in my current car so it isn’t a big deal.

One thing I am still getting used to is using the WiFi at the various hotels I stay at. I have used it before of course but not to the extent that I am now. I quickly realized that not all of the hotels have a real secure connection which made me start looking for something that could help me with that. I found the best VPN for China and I got signed up with them. Now I don’t have to worry about anything when I am using the WiFi.

I have my friend Nick to thank for getting me this job. We were both out of work (he unfortunately still is) and would tell each other of any good jobs we saw during our searches. He is the one that told me about this position and I’m really glad he told me. He isn’t the salesman type so he had no interest in pursuing it. I keep checking my old sites from time to time when I’m home and have sent him a couple jobs to check out. None of them have worked out for him but I’m going to keep trying. I knew how long it took me to find one and even then it was somebody else that found it for me. The problem is there are so many people out of work that they get so much interest they can choose the cream of the crop to work for them.
