Vacuum Shopping

We recently bought a vacuum. Yay.

Here are my thoughts on the vacuum - it sucks. Okay, that was not intended to come out, but I started typing and couldn't stop.

I did about a days worth of research reading reviews, and going to the stores. In the end, this was the highest powered vacuum with all the features that we were looking for that seems to be durable. It better be durable!

The next day I go into work, tell my buddies about the experience, and the first thing I hear is "you got a Eureka? It's going to break." Well I got a Eureka, and it's not going to break, ok. I better not be wrong. Then I started hearing about Kirby vacuums, and how they are so awesome, and this and that.

Here's what I'm thinking, this vacuum sucks. If it lasts us 5 years, that's awesome. If it lasts 20, even better. I vacuum sparingly anyway, right? Alright, now if it lasts on average 3 years, after 30 years of vacuum replacements I will have replaced it 10 times. That's about $1500 bucks. That's still cheaper than one Kirby.

Between you and me, I'm never spending more than I 1,500 bucks on a vacuum - Eureka, you win.

Cape Coral

I can't believe it's been this long since anything has been posted. Once again, cool things are happening. All throughout the country I'm working for people in an industry I've never had previous experience with. Good old real estate.

So check out the latest thing that I've got going. This is for a websites in Florida. It's called Cape Coral Florida Homes dot com Cape Coral Homes .

Posting here about this is home, because it helps you know, and the in a roundabout way, it lets the entire world know about the best website on the planet for buying homes in that area.

Boomerang Leads

It's been ages since I've written here! I'm not graduated, have two part time jobs, and I work in an entirely different industry than before (which was sales). I guess I shouldn't say entirely different, because almost everything is sales. But I'm out of retail!

My two jobs are at 1) Extension Marketing and 2) Boomerang Leads. I'm enjoying both of them quite a bit, and I'm loving everything I learn there. I use to have this idea in my head that once graduation is done, I get to finish learning. But I think that the last week has been some of the most intense learning of my life! This might get addicting...

So here it is. At extension I do whatever people from all around the state want me to. My jobs range from accounting to human resources to web design and maintenance... I just get plenty to do. I love it.

At Boomerang Leads I get to make websites from scratch. And I mean from scratch. These websites go all the way back to purchasing a domain name. Check out some of my websites here.

A few of the samples of my work can be viewed at these sites. Keep in mind, construction is always ongoing.

I'm a graduate!

It's come and gone! Now I'm excited for the career phase of my life (though I'm even more excited for retirement).

Work hard, keep learning and improving... if I stick to that, I think everything is going to be great!

Graduation is just around the corner!

I'm going to graduate! And since it's been a year since my last post, I now am married to Jessica! She is also going to graduate, and commencement is in 48 days. I feel like I've done a lot of good preperation; volunteering here and there, taking my time and doing well in my internships. Now I just have to market myself.

That means that it is time for me to job hunt, and I'm starting now. I'm going to create a better looking website, as a portfolio of myself, take some time on LinkedIn, and attend as many outings with professionals as possible. Because Jessica is graduating as well, we are open to go just about anywhere, and close to family is a huge plus!

Wish me well. My next post should be soon, and it should have a link to a smart looking site of... myself. See you in the professional world!
