After being a bum all summer and fall, I got a new job today! I am the Product Service Manager for Petters Worldwide Consumer Products. Basically they are the ones that sell all the Oster, Sunbeam and many of the Emerson products. The parent company also owns Sun Coutry Airlines and Polaroid.

Their service side is in horrible shape right now, so I get to come in and whip things into shape. They are growing rapidly, but had $100M in sales last year for this part of the company. Not bad for 15 employees! The company as a whole has 3,200 employees. The commute isn't going to be a lot of fun, they are on the corner of hwy 7 and 494.

Jet we'll have to kill rush hour traffic this spring/summer with some more golf. Coure rush hour for me will mean a 20 min drive vs a 15 min drive! ;) :D lol

Flip that house, get inside the LOOP! ;) lol

Sounds like a plan! My commute from Ham Lake is going to suck ass, but oh well. I am up for some golfin' and telling Cassie i am stuck in traffic :D I can guarantee the bike it going to get more miles on it this next year! Splittin' lanes baby! :lol:

It was a fuckin' awesome day, the talon sold today and a guy is coming to look at the GTP tomorrow morning. We have some wiggle room on that one, so i am sure it will sell. That means we have enough money to buy the house!! If the GTP sells tomorrow, I am gettin' fuckin' drunk!!
