Settling In

So there is work and then there is work! I have been having a blast and the previous saying usually has negative connotations. The reason I say it is because it has been so exciting, while tiring at times, but very exciting to work so far. Every day is a new adventure and I have been out and about every day making a big difference. By getting in on the ground floor of the company, it is really interesting to think of a plan, find the people to do it, work super hard....mostly 7 days a week, and then have work and personal life become one, and then see the plan become reality! The past few weeks have been crazy busy with work on the Internet, mainly under the events section of www.meguiars.com.cn and also traveling a ton and helping people get settled into their jobs. Another Valpo student has come over and is now interning with us and it is awesome to have been the guy who found him and now my finding is with me in China! Doing work that I enjoy is not bad and its been a wild ride so far, I hope to see things prosper and grow and I am looking forward to the future. The picture that is with this blog entry is one of me training 18 people how to care for their car. It was in Dongguan China and these workers will work for the first Meguiar's Car Detail Center in the world! This center is my baby and the SOP (standard operating procedure) manual is almost done! I move into my apartment on the 29th of this month and I also picked up my Hong Kong ID card today! I am officially a Hong Kong resident now! Life is on fast forward....but being busy isn't all that bad all the time.

Dad Visits Hong Kong

My father was able to come to Hong Kong for a few weeks and help me get settled in. I was able to outfit my apartment with Ikea materials and we were also able to get mandatory items such as my HK ID and HK drivers license. So now I am officially a honkie! haha It was great to show him around, we did many touristy things such as Victoria's Peak, Stanley's Market, Macau island, LKF, the alleys, museums and other things. We were crazy busy the whole time he was here, and the weather held up for us, even though you could cut the humidity with a knife. The days really fly by now with work and life, but it is better to be busy, than sitting around doing nothing. Several of my main duties are to train staff all over and to also develop a Standard Operating Procedures manual....needless to say, Meguiar's is keeping me busy. Below are a few pictures to check out.
