Back To Work

Well, after 8 weeks off it is time to hit the road and become a producing part of society again.  I was offered a job working for one of the suppliers that supplied electrical parts to us for so many years.  I have never done outside sales before and am just a little bit worried that I may not have the personality for it.  However, I have made up my mind to give it my best attempt.

It will be nice to be productive again and have a daily focus that is not the “honey-do” list but helping our customers do their jobs more efficiently and better.  It sounded like they wanted me to spend about 1/2 my time in the field with customers and 1/2 in the office helping as I can.  I’m really looking forward to this new vocation.

The New Adventure Begins

It has been 2 weeks since my employment at Betschart Electric came to a close.  I am now busily starting to look for a new place of employment.  I am not sure if I want to continue in the same line of work I have done for the last 40 years of if I would like to look for something new.

New sounds nice…but challenging.  Maybe that would be nice.  A new challenge.  Yes, I think that would be really nice.  I don’t think that I am cut out for a chicken farmer or fast order cook but working somewhere that I get to use my hands for something other than typing on a keyboard sounds really nice.

I’ll let you know how things go as my search widens.
