My job:
I like working at Zones way more than I would have guessed. I work from 6am to 3pm selling IT equipment, mainly to Indiana. On Thursday I got my 20th account! I have made good friends with some of my clients and have been doing pretty well. At Zones when you get 20 accounts and finish your 6 month certifications you move up in the Account Executive progression and I am the first person in my class to earn that! So essentially I got a promotion, I am not necessarily getting more money, however, I get to work with bigger accounts so the idea is that I will make more commission. I am really excited to start cleaning out my book of the old small leads. I really like the company and I really like the people I work with, it is just the cold calling all day that is not much fun. Now on to my near death experience.
Car Accident:
When driving to work September 14th I was switching lanes from a lane that was old to a lane that was repaved that weekend. My car started to lose control and I was trying to slow down and regain control and it just got worse and I ended up upside down facing the wrong direction. Below is the picture the news showed of my car while saying I was in critical condition. Just in case you were wondering I got out of the car walked and only had a scratch and was really stiff later. But I got lucky and was not badly injured/didn't die even though looking at my car and the fact that everything in my car ended up outside, one would think I died.
Moving:
Mark decided he wasn't happy in Portland anymore and I always wanted to move to Seattle so we just recently moved at the end of October. Right now we are living with Mark's family which is nice to not pay rent for awhile. Mark's dad is currently in Hong Kong til March fortunately, we did get home to see him for a few days before he left. We are both happy here right now. I was able to transfer my job to the Auburn location so I still work 6-3 but I have a different schedule with how my day goes and I like it better. The Auburn office is the corporate headquarters so it has more opportunities so that is also good.
And so ends my life updates and now I will keep you all updated more often. So there's life for now,
Always Mikaylee
