Hey Gang

Hey all, how you doing??? Well, its a Friday night and I'm hanging out at home. This week started out so well, work was going great. Then, all of a sudden, it went to crap. A club that I've been working on closing the deal with decided to bring their golf cars to bid, and we got spanked by another company. Now, this is ok, because the other company is slowly putting themselves out of business, but for this moment, I want to win every deal possible. Well, whatever, I did my best. I'm headed to NH tomorrow morning to start getting all the ski equipment in line. It should be fun, I love it up there. Well, I'm going to walk down the street and grab a beer. Catch you all Monday.

HELLO AGAIN!

Well, after a long absence, I'm back and blogging. Now, I'm not one for excuses, but here's why I've been missing. First off, work is absolutely crazy. Going from working in an office, 9 to 5 and leaving all my work behind when I go home to working on the road, out of my truck, not being in the office, and up till 2 or 3 AM doing proposals is very tough to get used to. My average sale at PCC was anywhere from $3K to $30K. Now, my average transaction is about $250K. Way more money, way more things that can go wrong. Anyway, its amazing...today, I was at work at 8AM, in Canton, MA. I played golf from 10 - 2. I had 4 Budweisers, made a bunch of great contacts w/ Golf Course Superintendents and was home by 5. Now, before that, I sat in traffic from 5:30 and didn't get home to almost 7. Oh, and guess what else, I have a gas card and I am making about $20K more a year. Sound like a no brainer?
As for life, its going well. My knee is healing up quickly, I've been working out like a mad man and things with the little lady are great. I do miss my Alabama girlfriend but hopefully now, I'll be back on and blogging every night. I won't be able to update during the day, mainly because I'm not at a computer all day, however, I'm on all night, so I guess you'll all have fresh stuff to read when you get to work in the morning...ha ha ha...
The best email to reach me at is william.brownjr@gmail.com. Oh, and if you want to see what I'm selling, check out www.ezgo.com and www.clubcar.com. Well, I gotta run, I'll post again tomorrow night. Oh, I'm also posting some halloween pics. Check it out.

Hey Gang

Hey guys..just got in from Dinner. I have to tell you, some of these sales guys are pretty damn sleazy...now, these aren't the ones I'll be working w/ directly, they work for the factory, but I'll tell you, wow, not my style. We were at dinner tonite and they were taking bets on an over/under of 137. The 137 was the combined weight and age of our waitress. Well, the asked her bot those questions, which to me, is completely innappropriate. I felt the need to go up to her a bit later when she was at her station and apologize on the behalf of the rest of the company. I would never treat a woman like that and to be honest, was a bit taken back, and thats tough to do. I don't get offended easily. Guess I'm just a good ole northern country boy. Anyway, I'm pretty much shitting myself over golf tomorrow. The highest handicap of these guys is an 18. I play like I'm handicapped. I mean, this isn't going to be funny. I suck that bad. Oh well, I'm off to bed. Can't wait to get back to Beantown on Friday afternoon/evening. Talk tomorrow.

Oh, by the way, it was under. She was 19 and weighed 110.

Greetings from Augusta National

Hello all...sorry for the delay. We have no wireless access in our rooms so I am in the lobby right now posting. Just got back from dinner. We were in corporate sales training from 8 this morning until 6 at night. It was nuts. However, I had a meeting w/ the CEO of a 7 billion dollar company today and gave him a business card. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit excited that this guy at least had my name. Anyway, the flight here was good, Augusta is nothing like I thought it would be. I was expecting farm houses, southern belles and golf courses. All I have seen is ghettos, walmarts and an Olive Garden. Oh, Augusta National is nice, although all you can see is a white fence and a little bit of the clubhouse from the road. Oh well. Anyway, my email is william.brownjr@gmail.com, drop me a line or post me a comment here. I'll be back on tomorrow as soon as I can sneak away. Kelwhy, I hope you're doing ok w/o me. I know it must be tough, but I hope your new Boston boyfriend is holding you tight, wink wink. Anyway, talk soon,

Peace out,
Bill

SAVE ME!!!!!!

Well, it's done. All of my accounts have been transitioned. Everyone is taken care of. Some hearts were broken, some were hurt, but its over. What's done is done. However, I am dying sitting here. I have nothing to do. I've closed everything up. I want to get out of here so bad. I have to come in tomorrow morning for my exit interview and after that, I'm outta here. What's the point of an exit interview anyway? I've never sat thru one but I can't imagine there is much of a point to them. I'm really psyched about this job. The money is awesome, the opportunity is awesome, the benefits are awesome, there isn't one bad thing about it. Well, got a phone call, gotta run. Write more later.

Today's News

Well, just got back from the gym...I like to go workout at lunch because it really breaks up the day. Now, let me tell you how difficult it is to sit here, on an absolutely beautiful day, basically going thru the motions until you get to leave this place on Friday. I have no ties to this job anymore, besides my Alabama girlfriend, who is really having a tough time w/ this breakup, but I have to tell her, "It's not you, it's me". I have a pretty eventful week, closing things up here, saying goodbye to customers and friends, packing for Georgia and then headed up to the lake in NH this weekend w/ the girlfriend and her family. Should be a blast. Granted I'm all about the ocean and love Cape Cod, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like being at a lake in the Mountains more. Its just so awesome. I plan on sitting by the fire, on the lounge w/ my lady friend, drinking whatever beverage I can find (has to be alcoholic) and playing a little guitar. Thats a weekend for me! Then, its off to GA for the entire week. I'm a little nervous, I've never been on a "business" trip, especially by myself, but I'm sure I'll do just fine.

While we were at this little schindig, my friend Jeff, seen in the Red Sox sweatshirt, asked me to be in his wedding, which, I think is really flattering. Anytime that you're asked something like that, I think it really means alot. Also seen is my buddy Jimbo, in the tshirt, my friend Tommy in the orange (he's the creator of the T-shirt website that is at this moment working on the "More Cowbell" t-shirt, and of course, me in the blue sweatshirt. As you can see, I'm just starting w/ the Ted Kennedy rosey cheeks, which basically screams, hey, I'm Irish, I'm drunk, and I'm only about 9 beers away from driving my car off a bridge into the ocean. Luckily, we took the train.

So...went to an awesome BBQ on Saturday and drank about 1000 beers. While I was at it, we managed to take a few pictures. One of the nice things about this bbq, is that usually, the guys are outnumbered bigtime...well, not this party. There were 8 guys compared to a whole bunch of ladies. Thats my lovely lady on the left in the white sweatshirt making some wierd face. Chances are she was telling me to put down the Miller Lite before I took the picture. What does she know.
