CompuCom has been contracted by Lowes to provide techs to cover the stores each week. Essentially, a tech is given 8 to 10 stores and must go to two each day on a regular basis, IE, the same day each week

My job was fill-in: when a tech couldn't do his stores due to vacation, illness, or termination, I traveled to the location and did the work instead. It usually meant leaving the house on Sunday afternoon

and returning home Friday evening.. But then, in early May, I was asked if I could take over for a set of stores in the New Haven/Southington/Danbury area of Connecticut...the tech who had the stores was not

doing a good job and the Lowes coordinator wanted me to take over, so I did and that's what I'm doing now.

It's a busy job, but I'm home every night. Not sure if that's good or bad - I do kind of miss the traveling.

But it's gotten me out of my rut, I guess.

Anyhow - in May, I was also offered a permanent position with CompuCom and accepted. The boss wasn't happy I went to my own stores rather than continue as the fill-in, but he wanted me happy, he said

So...I'm up at 6am, out the door at 6:30 to 6:45 and home about 5pm/5:30 pm.

Permanent position. WOOT!

Yeah, it's nice.
