World of Coke

So yesterday we did not have training. So we went into downtown Atlanta and we checked out the CNN center and the World of Coke. Both were very cool and interesting. We did not do the tour of the CNN center but we did take the tour at the World of Coke. They had over 60 different flavors of pop from around the world. This was a very cool experience to see how Coke has developed their brand world wide. This week we have training on HP products. I think that this will be very helpful and will aid in our job. I will soon try to get up pictures and a video.
Thanks, WillyD

Halo..............Goodbye

So, I have been in Georgia now for almost a week for training. I have been very busy so I have not been able to update this as much as I would like but do not worry I will make time. We have learned a lot about HP in the best few days. I am very glad that I am working for such a great company. The whole week has been a very general overview and next week we will be getting a little bit more in depth. Today we have no training but we have to go in and do a conference call in the HP Halo room. This is some of the coolest technology I have ever seen. It is a videoconferencing room that gives the most real face to face experience. Check out the Halo's Website. I will try to get some pictures and videos up here by the end of the weekend.
See Ya,

$1.99 Breakfast and it Just Got Better

Today was my first day of work. So it started off with a $1.99 breakfast and it only got better from there. Then we got our badges and got to meet everyone. I feel that we have a very strong team here in Colorado Springs. I even learned that there is 4 people that were hired from UNC. About 70% of the group had been working since June. The others had started last week. Rich and I were last to start. So we got the accelerated program. We got our laptops and our travel arrangements to Atlanta for training. Only 6 of us will be going to Atlanta for training.
We still have not finished moving into to our house. Tomorrow I will try to post some pictures or maybe a video .of what our house looks like.
Off to Bed Up at Six,

Back in the Blog Business

Welcome everybody,
I have been inspired by the blog I created for my trip to Paris and I have deiced to create another. No, this is not another trip to Paris or some vacation blog but a blog about my journey as I start to embark on a career. This Monday I start a job with Hewlett Packard in Colorado Springs. I am nervous and excited on the journey I am taking. I plan for this blog to bring people along for the ride and show what it is like to be recent college graduate in the field of marketing. I will try to keep you updated through postings, pictures, and everyone's favorite videos. Look for posts in the near future as I start first week of "real" work. Always remember comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
WillyD
