I’m just a doctor captain!
This morning I was like 2 minutes away from getting to work when I looked at my passenger side and my laptop wasn’t there… WTF?!?! I forgot it by the door inside my apartment!!! Crap, I had to call my boss and I left her a VM about what had happened, I busted and U-turn and went all the way back home. I’m not used to carrying a laptop to and from work everyday yet!
So when I finally got to work at 9 AM ( I had told my boss that I wanted my schedule to be from 8-5) an hour late, my boss was there and she said jokingly “You’re commute is long enough without having to do it twice a day.” She was totally cool with it, I’m still so not used to that. To top it all off, towards the end of the day she hinted that I should probably cut out early today, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it so I left at 6 PM.
Anyways, after all that debacle, my day went pretty smooth, we had a conference call with a bloke from the UK at 10. Went over some operational stuff and we set up an appointment for next Tuesday to speak with some other blokes about more technical stuff related to PPC and SEM.
After that one of my coworkers brought in some food his mom sells (I had ordered it yesterday, I forgot to say) and I had that for lunch at my desk, food was awesome. Nothing like authentic latin food, and for $5, can’t beat that with a stick!
I was working on some SEO stuff and then our IT guy came around and asked me to help him build a page for customers with PDAs or web enabled phones so that they can search our 500 plus member airport lounges from their devices. I don’t have any web design tools or Photoshop yet so I went old school and used notepad to build a simple layout. If you have a web enabled phone or PDA you can go to http://pda.prioritypassusa.com/mini.htm and check it out. It is just the layout and links right now. The IT guy is working on getting the database backend to a point where we can make it searchable via a simple form.
Anyways, I put in a request to get some software, the Web Premium Suite of Adobe CS3 that includes Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator, Fireworks and Contribute. The IT guy got on it right away and before I knew it, it was ordered and he said they were shipping a CD that should be on my desk early next week, WOW, that was fast and easy!
After that I met with a co-worker in Marketing and she gave me an idea of what she does and we went over how it can translate to Online marketing stuff. I have 30 minute meetings scheduled with other coworkers for next week to do the same. I am definitely learning a lot about how they do things.
After that I went back to setting up PPC acounts with Miva, SP.com and Yahoo and then worked on some reports.
Not a bad week after all, in fact I would say it’s the best week I’ve had in a very long time, at work that is! A total change from what I am used to, it’s gonna take a while to adjust, but I think I can handle it
