Well sadly (at least on one had), tonight was my final night at the Apple Retail Store. I will be sad to no longer work with some cool-ass people and with cool ass products. My head is absolutely killing me, so will type more tomorrow. It was cool working at Apple for a year, but will be nice to be back down to one job and have my nights and weekends back.

Well, just wanted to give an update on my job situation. I have been so busy with putting submittals out and keeping up with all the marketing duties like updating resumes, putting out/updating SOQs (Statement of Qualifications) and helping the other 3 offices with letters of interest.

The past 3 weeks I have been diligently working on a SOQ package for the New Raleigh Convention Center. If this bid is won, it would mean 1.2 million dollars for our Raleigh construction department. In other words, as cost basis goes it’s huge. Yesterday I worked 13 hours and didn’t get home until
9:30PM. The package was submitted this morning and our group believes we have a strong chance of winning the contract.

I have to say I am super relieved this is done and out the door. Now on to another huge submittal for the RDU Airport. Hehe, it never ends…

Monday I am heading over to Charlotte for a weekly meeting. Hoping to get that offices input into marketing that office and submitting bids for projects. It should be a enlightening meeting.

Oh yeah.. and in our Thrusday office meeting I was awarded the “employee of the month” for excellence and professionalism in helping the Raleigh operations. I was completely surprised by this and impressed with myself. It was really awesome too, I got $100 American Express gift cheques too. WOOHOO! I’m going shopping tomorrow for a new outfit for my Monday meeting.

Anyhow, as you can see… work has been going really well and I am really gaining a lot of confidence and recognition and respect from my fellow co-workers.
