Good Members
Sunday, October 17th, 2010One thing I love about my job is that there are many perks. I do a lot of traveling around meeting clients and that brings a whole lot of chances to spend company money. While the money is mostly spent on my clients, I also get to spend some on myself. A recent golfing trip comes to mind where I got to do what I wanted while maintaining the company’s interests.
One thing a lot of my clients like to do is golf. We go out on the course and play a few rounds while discussing business. It can be hard to get tee times on occasion, so I use a site called www.48hourteetimes.com. It is easy to use and allows me to set up a game on short notice. This is important when I have clients who need to be taken care of.
There are a number of things I like about the site. The site lists all the openings for a number of courses. I can book my last minute tee time and save money as well. I can choose the date and time I need to book. Another good aspect is that there is no membership fee to use the site. Thanks to 48 hour tee times, I look good in front of my clients.
Adventure
Friday, August 20th, 2010One thing I love about my job is that I get to travel a lot. I have been to many wonderful places and have enjoyed them all. The only problem I have had is that occasionally my transportation has not been reliable. It can be devastating when you’re on the side of the road in a strange place. This happened to me recently when I was on my last trip. I’ll tell you the story.
I had to go to a convention in California. I caught a flight there but decided to rent a car. I thought it would be the most convenient way to get around. I ended up with a Honda accord. I have driven this kind of car before and really liked it. The car is usually reliable and drives well. This particular car did have a problem though. The timing belt went out and had to be replaced.
I was lucky to find a San Francisco auto repair shop that could help. The belt was replaced in a few minutes and I was back on the road. I was nice to know that I would be on time for the convention. I guess traveling is all about adventure and I had plenty of it. I am looking forward to my next trip and hoping it goes better this time.
Freedom
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009There are a few things that we all rely on every day. One thing that most of us have in common is the need to have a working vehicle. That’s why when my car decided to stop working; I knew I would have to get it fixed quickly. I am fortunate enough to own a Chevrolet Silverado, but had the bad luck to have it break down. That was devastating as I depend on my car to get back and forth to work.
I took my car to the shop and had the mechanic give it a once over. I found a garage that I really like and I feel they have been honest with me about my car. That’s not easy to come by these days and so I was happy about that. They are one of the most dependable shops for Dallas auto repair. I took their estimate of the situation to heart as I think they are on the up and up.
The mechanic said that I would need to have a brake job done on my car. I thought that was probably true as it’s been quite awhile since my brakes were worked on. I decided to have the work done and was back on the road in no time. Now I am glad to have my car back and think I got the better end of the bargain. I am looking forward to ending my carpool arrangement and having the freedom to go where I want!
Be Ready
Friday, October 23rd, 2009In my line of work, you must be ready to travel constantly. Over the last several years, I have been able to travel up and down the East coast to nearly every destination there is. There are always a few places that end up standing out above all the rest. One of these places is the Myrtle Beach Resorts that I have been to many times. I have found them to be one of the best places to do business and relax at the same time.
There are other benefits to visiting a Myrtle Beach Resort. They have many different places to choose from including some new ones that are just opening. Every one of the resorts is awesome in its own way. They all are near the shore and are also close to the many other attractions such as golf and shopping.
Whenever I see that the future is going to bring a trip, I always hope that it will be to one of the Myrtle Beach Hotels. I know that I’ll be able to relax as well as get my work done. I am also thinking about bringing the kids the next time I come so that the whole family can enjoy the experience. I know they will love it as much as I do.
