So, Paul at BlogMad has the Great Big Wonderful Baby Pool mentioned on the UCP (User Control Panel) for all the Mad Bloggers to see. He also mentioned it on his own blog and kicked in more credits for the prize pools.

In other news, I have embarked on a new career – I am a Senior Account Executive with a national wholesale processing service. I am selling credit card processing at wholesale prices (the same prices that banks and other third party processors get, before they mark them up and pass them on to the businesses) and also financing the terminals. I believe that at this point in my life I am past being a cabinetmaker. Having worked my way up from the bottom, and working in every position possible (except owner), I have left that industry. I don’t think I will miss it, because I can still work on projects in my home shop.

I stopped over at Wear Red On Fridays and was surprised, and humbled, to see that Sue had taken my suggestion and actually assigned it to a shirt. I had mentioned that the name needed to be in line with the other designs (Rolling Thunder, The Patriot) and thought something along the line of “Lightning Sharp” would be nice … and there you have it!

I’m headed for bed now, so ya’ll be good.

God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and get in on the Baby Pool!

Why are you posting, Cary? Did something happen at work?

Yes, yes it did.

IT happened.

I left. This time, I don’t think they’ll be asking me back. I left in a bit of a temper, after being told, basically, that following procedures and processes, including questioning unclear portions of an order, was not good enough. Apparently, one needs to go above and beyond filling the order placed by the salesman and actually read the mind of a customer one doesn’t interact with.

In a way, I am going to miss that place – I have – uhm, had a very high level of respect and synergy with the people I work with – excuse me, worked with – including the manager I walked out on.

So – if anyone knows of a position where cabinet software, some CAD ability and a work ethic that normally leaves Type A personalities in the dust would be required, left me know. E-mail me at carycartter AT gmail DOT com. And no, I don’t want to sell pharma-anything over the internet. Nor do I wish to be involved in Multi-Level Marketing, no matter what name is behind it.

Actually, right now, a position that requires me to test my golf clubs at various locations around the Valley of the Sun would be really good. Maybe Secret Shopper has a position like that…

God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and get in on the Baby Pool!
