Early Morning Phone Troubles

It seems that no matter how hard you try, Monday’s at work just never turn out so well.  Even though I try to make it to work with a positive attitude, it just doesn’t seem to work.

For example, today, just ten minutes into the day, our Toshiba DKT2020SD phones decided to quit working.  An event like this would have been a lot more convenient on the weekend, but we are going to have to figure something out quickly - without our business phone system, we will be in big trouble.

So, I am in charge of calling around to see if I can find someone that will be able to supply us with new phones.  I haven’t had much luck so far, unless you count the company that was happy to sell us some new Nortel business phones - a brand that we have never had luck with.

Hopefully, our luck will change and I will be able to find some new phones for us - or this day will end up being a complete loss.

Working for My Man

My husband has been running his own SEO business for a little over a year now and he has recently recruited me as an employee. It is my job to come up with creative website design and I have actually taken a liking to it. I found some great stock photos royalty free that perfected the theme I was trying to create on my first site and I was hooked.

I decided to look into some stock photography companies for all of the sites that we are building and so far, the designs have been better than we could have imagined they would turn out. It is not too often that my husband and I are both pleased with the results, and so far, we both love how the sites are turning out.

I have been using a stock photo in all of the sites and I think, as long as we can keep the desired effect going, I will continue to do so. Now, if I can just convince him to pay me for my hard work, we will all be happy!

New Job, New Town

One of the biggest challenges that we faced when we decided to move was how I was going to find a new job.  You see, my wife was transferring within the company she worked for to Australia, but I didn’t have that option - I needed to figure out how I was going to find a job in Australia from half way around the world.

I quickly realized that trying to find any accounting jobs overseas would have been tough twenty years ago, before the Internet became popular.  Thankfully that is no longer the case, and the Internet can be used as an effective job search tool.

For me, the Internet proved to be a godsend, and I able to find a job easily.  I am just very thankful that such a great resource was available for me, and I recommend that all my friends do all their job searching online.

Career Choice

My dad has been a carpenter since I was a little kid. When I was born, he used to work at a lumber mill and when it closed down, he decided to become a journeyman carpenter. I always loved what he did and loved to work with my hands, and it has led me to work for commercial roofing Providence RI.

When I decided to become a roofer, I was not sure where I was going to work. I knew that I had wanted a change in my life, so I looked for a job out of state. I found that there was a very high demand for roofing Providence RI, and I thought that would make it a lot easier for me to make my way to the top.

I got a job with a flat roofing Providence RI company and absolutely loved it right form day one. I made a lot of friends and there is no other feeling like the one I get when I am working on a roof. It is like being on top of the world.

My Business Computer

I am one of the few people that I know who does not own a computer. I use one all day at work and the last thing I want to do when I come home is sit in front of a computer. I will, occasionally, stay late after work to do my personal banking or use the computer for other non work related uses.

I am very careful not to save any personal data on the computer because I know, although the computer is in my office, that it does not belong to me and that other people can access it as well. I am fairly smart when it comes to my privacy and I like to keep it that way.

I would never do anything to jeopardize either my security or my job. I have permission to use the computer for personal matters, as long as I do not do it while I am supposed to be working. This is fair, as I would not expect one of my employees to use their working hours for personal matters.
