Ok, so it's fairly obvious that I so didn't keep up the blog... - But here I am, once again, over a year later to try and pick it back up. And BOY has it been an eventful 14 months...
The job fair ended up netting no results, I ended a long relationship, I moved to Fargo, found a new job, then they asked me a couple months later if I was willing to move to the cities. I said "Sure!" after negotiating moving expenses and a small raise, and they said "Great! Can you be here Monday to start?" I was, and now I work in Eden Prairie and live in Minneapolis (even though in one of those past posts you notice I said I refuse to live in the cities... - hehe. Funny how circumstances change, eh?)
My new job entails going into restaurants and bars and installing new point of sale systems, so they can move into the 21st century. They're slowly getting me into liquor stores as well (coincidently, that's where I'll be next week - hehe...) Tis fun. It's kinda funny how for the most part when I go into these places, they have almost no processes in place to do anything. For example, we recently had a business owner and 2 of her employees (aka a Woman, her daughter, and her daughter's friend) in, and we were dealing with pricing issues. "How much do you charge for ___________" - And everyone had a different answer. Not too surprising for alcohol actually, but it kinda proves why they need a computer to tell them the price :P I also think it's kinda funny how the guy who doesn't really drink is the one who goes into BARS and LIQUOR STORES to install POS systems. It makes me lol.
Anyway, I'm gonna go explore the city a bit today... more later...
