Joby’s BlogBlog of a Bald Fat Guy

Yesterday marked the end of my Tier I training at work.

I have been spending one week a month for the past 4 months attending a very eclectic range of classes.

I have spent time learning about all sorts of business related topics. I can now write an email that you WILL read ’cause it is short and to the point. I can now determine how to speak to you based on your personality type and indicators you give me via your body language. You know all the stuff that will make me ‘Super Manager’ some day. I know that sounds synical, but I really do mean that if I am able to put all of this information to use in my career, I really can be a great manager.

Over the past four months, I have created friendships with people from all parts of the Steel Making process. I met people who work in the office setting and people who spend their days creating the product that keeps this company running. This has helped me in my partiular job because I now have a better understanding of where the places I grant access to are and why the access is needed.

After the class was over, my manager sat down with me and we had a short discussion about the program. He asked me how I felt now that it was all over. I told him I really enjoyed it and I hoped it would be available to other new comers in the future. He stated that he has already seen an improvement in my work style and ethic and he feels that having me participate in the program was a valuable investment to our group and to the company. That really helped me to get out of bed this morning.

I am the proud owner of around 20 domain names. I know other people with 10 times that amount, but I am still glad I own the ones I do.

I have been in the process of moving them all to one registrar. I like GoDaddy.com, and I will soon have them all registered there.

GoDaddy.com has shown me a level of service that is second to none.  I remember when I first chose them, they had a rep call me and ask me how things were going and if they could be of any help. I was quite surprised that they took the time to call me of all people. I had just spent .99 on a .info domain, I was not some big time Domain broker out there buying every .com I could come up with. That call made me fee important. Customers need that.

So my wife asked me today what I want for Christmas. I told her a list of domain names that I wanted to buy.

If she agrees, I will be going back to GoDaddy.com to buy some more.

Click the banner below and go check them out yourself. I am sure you will be as pleased as I am. Their low prices, 24 X 7 support and all around great service is incomparable.

There was no Joby Video this week. Mainly cause it was a dumb idea. Although there are a trillion Joby’s out there, that does not mean there are a bunch of us making videos that are worth me posting here LOL.

Also, and quite possibly the real reason, I spent the day working on a revamp of one of my sites. I will disclose the name and url soon, but it is not quite finished yet…

I got so wrapped up in the revamp that I did not get to do my drops today. Sorry guys,  just a bit to late to start on them at this point.

I will tomorrow.
