What I do...

So, a little more about the thing that inspired this Blog, my job!

I work for a small company that sells commercial food equipment to businesses, schools, gov't agencies, etc. I'm a sales person in a round about way (no one really has set in stone jobs). I cold call people who might be interested in buying from us and give them quotes if they're interested. I also bid on large constructions jobs (ie. new schools, remodels, etc.), which is the most exciting part of my job.

It is a very interesting and fun job, but alas, it gets very boring after several hours of staring at the old computer screen all day. There is a lot of down time. Sure, I could just call more people, but that's pretty crappy as well after you've spent 3 hours of getting voicemail and being told, "We don't need anything right now."

So I just got a little excitement today. I got called into our Ops Manager's office and told that our book keeper is having some health issues and may need some help with some of our billing, book keeping, etc, and asked if I'd be interested in helping out (remember how I said no one has 'exact' jobs). So, I said sure. So I've spent the afternoon learning about the book keeping side of the company. Pretty cool stuff! And I'll get to spend the day tomorrow actually doing the work and getting my feet wet. Maybe I can end up with a promotion! Talk to ya'll soon!
