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.
