No They Have Not Disappeared

So I have been a bit quiet on the personal blog front since I have been spending the majority of my time working on my business blog. However, later today I will have two logos for you guys to help me decide which one to use, for at least the time being. I have gotten my first quote out, well besides for Impact Sign Co. and I am just waiting to hear something. :)

So otherwise, not much has been going on this week, since most people know that Travis I were just in oregon visiting family and friends. It was good to see everyone!!!

My Fav new logo:

PJP Marketing Solutions Blog Up and Running

So it is official, PJP Marketing Solutions Blog is up and running. http://www.pjpmarketing.wordpress.com/ It is still in it's infancy but I am finally getting moving on creating my own destiny. Please pass it on and if you know anyone who may need marketing assistance let them know about me. My Web site is currently in the works thorugh a great friend of mine, Casey Feves and his company Sigma Solutions Group, http://www.sigmasolutionsgroup.com/ and should hopefully be up in the next few weeks.

I am very excited and am working on finishing up the site map for Impact Sign Co's new website. I have some great ideas and had a meeting with a great guy last week to become part of a small business services group. The goal of the group is to be a strategic alliance of professionals that would assist every part of the business life cycle. I am also working on creating collateral and a website for the CFP who has spearheaded this group. Woo HOO!

Oh and I have a new email for the business, pam@pjpmarketing.com

Happy Monday!

Travis AFK, whatever happened to this guy?

So, its been a while since I've posted. Here's an update.


Work: I had been in Cali, near Sacramento working on the irrigation district there. We (the commissioning team) upgraded their existing systems to Wonderware 10.0 and ArchestrA. Basically this upgrade will enable them to do cool things, save time in implementing changes, and create a need for more training for their SCADA techs. :) We commissioned 8 sites in 3 weeks. I worked, worked out and went to bed...for 3 weeks. It had been a while since I had worked 60+ hour weeks and it was good to get home and relax a bit. Now I have so much time on my hands I'm getting antsy again, lol.

Upon returning I got an offer on paper. It was very generous and now I can wipe that from the back of my mind and relax a bit. I'm buckleing down now and continueing to push forward and learn as much as I can. I purchased a PLC off Ebay and am going to create a small test setup at home so that I can continue to learn PLC, Wonderware, Archestra, as well as setting everything all up!

Workin out: For those of you that keep up with my workout journal, or at least whats posted here, when I was in Cali I decided to go on a shake diet. I was literally drinking my calories most of the time, with occasional meals on weekends. I used "Nature's Best Isopure, Low Carb, Meal Replacement" packs for my shakes. At first it was very hard to get by. As I progressed through the days however, it became easier. When I got back Pam thought I looked more lean than I've ever been! I still want to lose 4 more lbs, but am satisfied with my progress so far. I think for a final weight and physique, that I want to bulk up a bit more, then just work on maintaining a low body fat. I've had a lot of fun learning about bodybuilding, nutrition, exercise, and most of all, developing a strong work ethic to continue down this road.

Other stuff I've been doin. Well I don't think I've posted on Grad school yet. I'm applying to UC Boulder. My reccomendations have almost all come in and then I just have to complete a written assessment as well as a letter of intent in order to finish up my application. I'm looking forward to this endeavor, and hope to be accepted so that I can start. In addition, to help boost my worth, I'm signing up for the FE exam in October. This is something that I should have done a long time ago when everything was fresh! I didn't realize how important this would be if I ever left Oregon, or wanted to pursue a PE license and am kicking myself a bit for passing it up.

I guess thats about it for now, looking forward to a three day weekend!

Congratulations Travis!!!

So a big congrats to Travis as he just got his official offer for Full Time Employment, no more contract work. I am sure he will tell everyone about it, but I wanted to say congrats because I am so proud of him.

Name!

So based on some feedback from a few of you, I have decided on a name, PJP Marketing Solutions. The great thing about this name is that just incase I ever happen have a change in last name :) The initial is the same. Happy Friday!
