Back to the Future!!!

OK its not really back to the future, but really close. Last week while working in Orem, I was told to pack my bags. I was moving back to Estimating and Purchasing in Salt Lake. That an outside salesman would take over as Orem store manager and I would be working my way into Estimating working under Bob Honeycutt, while he works his way into Purchasing to replace Ken once he retires. I was really surprised by the move. I wasn't planning on moving from Orem for a long while. I was not really sure what to expect. I was content with Store Manager and seeing the other side of ICS but to get back into purchasing was really exciting. I was sad to leave Chase and Andy down in Orem. We all had become great friends and got a long really well. Its always hard to leave good friends.
As for Estimating, I think it will be fun. I will take over every quote from here on out. Its a lot of work and new things to learn. I am excited to try this out and see where it takes me. I will be getting pricing, quoting freight and doing mark ups to all material specially ordered. Although I don't feel at home just yet back in SLC, I am sure it will grow on me. I have only been gone for Five months but it feels longer then that. At least I get to listen to my Ipod again all day long, the radio stations where getting boring with all the commericals. Now I need to update my ipod again. They shall call me "the Estimator!!!"
