Back to work :(

I am starting a new job tomorrow. I quit my old job on 2/13 and I finally got everything lined up with this new gig.

When I quit the old job I started a thread but for some reason it is no longer here, thepowersthatbe will likely remove this one too in the AM.

Anywhoo, I doubt I will have as much time on the boards in the near future and certainly not as late at night. My first day consists of the following; Driving to meet a senior sales rep and a client for lunch. Golf. Dinner and drinks with the client. Entertainment possibly image

I think I am going to like this gig. Work hard play hard.

    I'm still at work. (and it's now 12:24 in the morning...)

    Edited to say: good luck with the new gig. You clearly took your time and took the right job for you. It's easy to jump at the first decent offer, but that's normally not the right move.

    Yeah, I did take my time. I actually passed up a couple of things and one of which my wife thought I was nuts for not taking. But, she is happy now as this really can be a career long position. There are 7 reps there that have been there for 10+ years. Its a private company and they really seem to take good care of their people and let them earn good money.


    The worst part is tomorrow will be the first time I'll have worn socks in over a month.

    Golf, dinner, drinks and entertainment!? Sounds like a good day. As I near 40 my taste in "entertainment" has changed a little but still fun to reflect on the old days. Have fun and good luck!

    Hi Jordan

    Wow - that sounds great.

    I wish you all the best on your new position.

    Being self employed, I have no one to blame but myself if the boss is cranky!

    Please let us know how it goes.

    I know you're up to the challenge!

    Good luck on the new job, strange they axed your last thread, didn't see anything wrong with it. Maybe it gave some PSA employees some ideals....image

    Clear Skies,
    Mark

    PS: I would also let the client win @ golf. Have a few drinks, eat at a nice resturant, lose a round of golf to the client, have a few more drinks (at an entertainment place), sign a deal or grease the wheels for a future deal. Sounds like my old old job selling advertisement.
