Here I go!
I am about to accept a new position with a company based in Boston, however, I get to work from my house Memphis! The best thing is I will get to travel all over the U.S., and Internationally! Now I can get up in the Northeast and out west to do some serious trails! WOOHOOO!!!

Wow, that sounds great! What will you be doing, if you don't mind my asking? Intrigue? Secret agent stuff? :)

I'm going to be a Loss Prevention consultant for a company who represents some pretty large retailers. It's going to be a blast!

I have once again convinced a group of people to pay me a ton of money to do a job in which I have no experience, in a field which I know absolutely nothing about.

I love being me!

It's all about networking I guess. Make lots of connections. I hadn't even started looking for a job yet, someone mentioned my name and they called me.

So you're paid to spend money, cool. Seriously though, I thought you were in a technical field. Sounds more like a finance background. I have a friend that's an investment banker for a large bank. Cool gig.

There's a tech side to it. Not paid to spend money, paid to analyze how others spend money.
Bison

Is that sort of like window shopping?

Not exactly, it's looking at how a company is spending it's money and letting them know how they could spend it more effectively.

Bison: "OK, I've analyzed your spending. It appears that you routinely spend 8 dollars on a gallon of orange juice. You could be spending either 6 dollars or 9 dollars if you purchased different brands. That concludes my report. My invoice is in the mail."

Cool. Not to get personal, but do you have a tech undergrad and an MBA? If so, I've heard that's a great combo.

A degree, pshaw... who needs a degree?

I have a what I like to think is a pretty impressive resume instead.
Bison

WOW, good for you....how do I do that? Right about now I need to do something like that. I've got to find a way out of manufacturing.....just got laid-off last Thursday, due to "downsizing" read that poor management. Now I'm looking at my options to see how I can make this turn around.....any ideas?

I'm asking because I thought the one from a month or two ago was also deer rescue. Maybe this is the end of the probationary period and the more formal part of work begins?

no dayhiker, it is the same job. I was hired about 1 1/2 months ago but it did not start till Aug 15th. I am also learning a lot about plants and there eating habits. It is very interesting so far.

thanks HPM and Crazy, i wish it was more hands on with animals but i am looking forward to collecting sci data.
