Luke, I’m your father.

I feel a little like Darth Vader - i’ve crossed over to the dark side. It’s time to reveal a little about me. In my previous employment (with the corporation) i was a technician. For over 20 years i primarily worked on HVAC equipment and control systems. (Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning)

My new employment is with a supply house to the industry. And me - i’ve become a SALESMAN.

Many technical people consider sales people to be a lower form of life. Something just a little lower than pond scum. However if the truth be told, “Without chemicals salesman, life itself would be impossible” Sorry about that little flashback - if you don’t remember that line and then the beautiful parody on SNL - well you are just a pup and will understand someday.

Anyway my point is this - technicians can do no teching if the work isn’t first sold by someone. A friend of mine who has been selling a long time just recently gave me some real wisdom on being a salesman - don’t apologize for making a living. My family likes to eat just like yours does.

But i couldn’t help using the dark side thing - i know it will hit the spot with 99 percent of the techs out there. To them i say: Sorry but this may work out far better than my former life. Thats what i’m planning anyway.

Have a good day
