Bet you have been wondering...

...what kind of job my husband has taken!

How about a little history...

When I first met Bill he was in computer networking. After we got married, he wanted to get a part-time job to earn extra money so I could stay home. He went door to door handing out resumes and found an opportunity for full time employment with a company that sold ignitors for power plants. If you are like me (and him at the time) you have no idea what that means. It's all about electricity, the thing that happens when you flip the switch and we really don't give a second thought to. He took the job because it was a great opportunity for us, Bill likes to sell and he liked the owner. He soon knew all there was to know about boilers, ignitors and how it all makes electricity. He quickly worked his way up and because of his work ethic and intensity, he became National Sales Manager. He was in that position for almost seven years and the company had consistent growth during that time. At the end of last July upon his return to work after my sisters funeral, he was let go. We are still not sure as to why they let him go. He was very committed to the success of the company and his sales people. My mom always says one man's trash is another man's treasure. Bill has had many opportunities to work for "the competitor" but due to relocation or other reasons, he has passed. I think part of the reason is he wanted to move on and not look back. He was bitter for a while but he is over it. He wishes them well. He really cared (and still cares) about those that worked for him and the people he worked for. Anyway...God has blessed him with a great opportunity in the same industry but not in competition with his previous employer (I'm sure that is a relief to them). They use lasers to measure Carbon, Oxygen and temperature in the boiler, so he tells me. He gets to work with a lot of the same people he worked with before and he manages a much larger sales team. He has been challenged by learning things like laser physics and boiler operations but he is doing well. He's smarter than he looks. He works from an office about a mile from home but he will still be traveling quite a bit. So to summarize, he is a sales manager for a company that uses lasers to measure combustion in power plants. That is it as I understand it.
