Working Class Citizens

Hey everybody. Sorry again for the massive gap between posts. 

I started a new job and so our lives have basically revolved around work, the gym and sleeping. 

So for those of you who don't know, here is a glimpse into our lives as working class citizens.

Dallin is an account representative for a chemical company called Nalco Champion. 

Every day he drives around his designated area, checking oil rig equipment to make sure that it's holding up against corrosion. If a certain well needs to be treated, he is responsible for placing the order, and making sure that it's delivered.  Dallin works with his own managers, as well as the oil rig pumpers, project leads, production specialists and foremen to make sure that each well is working properly. 

And everything you can see on both sides of this highway, all 500 wells, are under his charge. 

It's a little confusing to anyone not familiar with the system. When he talks to me about work, everything is simplified, but when he talks to his coworkers, it's like a whole other language.

As for me, I just started as a sales assistant at one of the local news stations. 

KMID Local Big 2 is an ABC Network Affiliate and in the sales department, the main focus is making sure that local companies have advertising opportunities on TV. As of right now, my job description is fairly vague, as I'm the first sales assistant this sales team has ever worked with. 

But so far so good. 

I pull a lot of reports with information that tells the sales team what commercials were preempted, what commercials are missing, and if they're not found, will be unable to go on the air. Other reports can show how many people in our area watched a certain show, purchased something at a hardware store, and visited a dentist within the last six months. 

It's so detailed, it's scary. 

They have also asked me to blog, so even more people can hear my crazy rantings!

But we are lucky. 

Dallin and I both really like our jobs. We work with some great people, and have been given great opportunities. 

And with any gig like that, Texas just got even better.
