Chowing down

Morning in the office putting together a $26k quote of which we only make $1000 as the vendor doesn't sell it's equipment through us and they are giving us a 4% margin due to the fact that I brought them the custom.

Had lunch with a vendor rep - back to the staple of green acres. Pretty much ate their entire menu now.

Then back home to host a conference call between a group of is that were all on new hire training in Philly. One in Oregon, the other New Orleans and a their who could not join from Seattle. We talk about any problems or tips and tricks we have come across. Pretty useful and we hold them every month.

Finished around 3 to watch the spurs Sunderland game. Also as I was going to a Networking session downtown in the evening for some extra curricular work. There is a big science conference in town and the local network group had drinks and food at a bar near the convention center. So my compatriots who does my job up in OC and I tried to hunt new business.

There was a lot of people not relevant to us as they sold stuff themselves or were job hunting (I actually attended previous event in hope of getting job but got nowhere). But made a couple of good contacts and some potentially great leads so was more than worth the time taken out of my evening to score a few brownie points with the big boss
