There are certainly aspects of this job that I don't like, don't look forward to; but it's a game and you have to approach it that way. All in all things are going well. When I put my game face on and approach each customer with the right attitude, I generally come away with a positive attitude.
I spent much of the last two weeks working out of a hotel room in Portland, just coming home on Wednesday nights to bowl. I also worked a "booth" in Bangor on that middle Sunday. So until this past weekend I haven't been home much to speak of.
It's been an interesting process to go through classroom training in an old TWC area while doing job shadowing with reps in old Adelphia territory, since that's where I live and will be my area. So it's been like working for two companies at the same time. Starting this week I'll be working up here in the Augusta area while still trying to reel in some folks I've had contact with in Portland for the last two weeks. The philosophies, the products, the systems and environment are very different between the two areas still, even though it's all TWC now and has been since August. At least I'm not in the category of folks who've been doing things successfully for several years one way and are now having to change.
I'll try to update more often that I have of late, and I intend on writing a little piece anyway about my early Christmas present.
