Ok apparently my mini update was not enough info. Though I guess I understand since I havent really updated since sometime last May. So a full update.
I was working as a personal trainer near my house for about 3 months. The boss was a little crazy and the place was totally unorganized. I thought that it would be ok for a temporary job at least while I looked for a 'real' job. I was wrong. I took what was supposed to be a week long vacation to goto new york; but ended up being two weeks. On the day I left my boss yelled at me for 4 hours about how unprofessional I was.(in front of clients) It was a really bad experience, so I quit. I figured it's not what I want to do for the rest of my life anyway, the pay was less then what I was making in Troy(which is just wrong), and it didnt have any benefits. Basically the pain she was putting me through on a daily basis wasnt worth it. I sent her a very nice, very professional resignation letter.(not wanting to burn any bridges) I have a stomach ulcer. I think the combination of the crappy job stress and the looking for a real job, was just too much. The good stuff. When I got back from new york I got a really good job offer from phenomenex, which I took. I am a technical sales consultant. We sell HPLC and other chromatography supplies.(columns, filters, etc.) I really like the people that I work with. I love that the company does lots of good things for the community and the environment. I'm pretty happy with it so far. I mean it's just training; but I like it. It's got to mean something that I was so excited I couldnt sleep.(like kindergarten or something) Unfortunately other stuff like I said isnt going so well. My grandfather is very sick.(has been for a while) He is going to go in for a few major surgeries soon. Which we all hope go very well and fix everything. The stomach ulcer has gotten worse. My doctors dont really seem worried that I cant eat anything without being sick. So I guess it's not really a big deal. Ok I'm not really convinced. But I dont really have time to deal with it. I'm thinking sometime in the middle of November I'll deal with all these sick issues. For now I'm just going to work alot. Yeah I'm sure there's lots of other stuff that people dont know. But I cant really remember. So for now it's time to study.
