So I have a new job......

So, a couple weeks ago I apply for a job as a Business Development Manager. I realistically didnt even think i would get a call back, because usually for IT BDM roles they require a fair amount of preious IT experience.

To my shock i was called back, got a first interview, and within four days had a new job. So now i am ofically a "business development manager"; which sounds pretty cool i your ever gonna pickup chicks. Then again the type of women i like usually arent dumb enough to go after a guy just because his jobs sounds like it pays a lot of money.

So i go in for my first day, and i'm greeted by my new boss. Who admittedly is a pretty cool chick. She shows me around, and i discover that the company i am now working for offically only has three people working for it......and I am one of them! I have no idea were i find these midget sized companies, but somehow i seem to atract them.

The office is in Crows Nest, which is a pretty cool area i guess. Except it has no trees or bushes to go and meditate in at lunch. Although the ofice i work in itself is pretty ugly, it somehow smells like mould. I've pondered bringing in a good air freshener, but that would only provide a temporary solution.

Anyways, I am responsible or selling two lines of projects. A top of the range PHP development environment, and another development environment which is used to develop remote applications.

The tragic thing is, these products have no market at all right now. Something which was not explained to me in the interview, along with this our biggest competitor with the PHP product is manufacturer of the product. They dont seem very willing to help us succeed. Again, somethings just arent explained properly in interviews.

In hindsight i'm not sure if i wouldve taken this role. It's good, however i think the probability of making a sale is pretty hard. Especially when the manufacturer is trying to beat you!

Looking back on it, i honestly dont want to be working at this point in my life. I really just would love to get on a jet plane, and dont know when i'll come back again. I could do this with a few more months of savings, but then I will feel pretty bad if i leave after a few months.

Right now, i just wish i could go visit Canada and be with someone that means so much to me. Just another one of the myriad of reasons i wish i was financially free.
