I am almost a month old in my current job. I can’t say that I am enjoying the night shift, because I don’t. My work, although easy, is very stressful. Since my job title, Account Specialist, requires me to know everything about the account, it simply means that I should be able to do anything that is assigned to me. This includes “Accounting” tasks.

Accounting tasks that I should be able to do, includes:

  • Doing Purchase Orders
  • Making Bank Deposits
  • Accepting Payments
  • Deleting Payment Duplicates

Aside from the accounting tasks, I have Marketing Campaigns that I do every week. I also update the marketing template sent to thousands of emails every Friday. On Mondays, I make sure that the campaign is
scheduled to be sent at 7AM U.S. Pacific Time.

There are so many days in the week that I am mostly stuck doing accounting tasks. Of course, it’s much easier than accepting technical calls, but it gets boring sometimes. I wish the new client gives us a “go” to integrate their website to e-commerce. It will be a hard project, because it means a whole lot of work, but at least it is something that doesn’t bore me. Looking at .csv files and excel sheets
for a long time makes me really sleepy.

I am still on the lookout for a day job.

After you get registered, you have to log on to WordCamp Central and choose the talks you want to attend, update your profile, ... [...]

My boss and I have been working on a project and it's taking us so long to finish it. After days of non-stop research and doing trial and errors with the script, we've successfully implemented it. We're just waiting for the client to approve it. Hopefully, he gives it a YES. We're going to work on new projects in the next few days, and that includes marketing campaigns, looking for stock images, and matching the ... [...]

After two months of looking for a job, I finally got one. It's not my dream job, but it's something that is related to my field. I am an Account Specialist. Basically, I should know the ins and outs of the account, and I should be able to perform any task that will be assigned to me. My immediate boss is in charge of the design implementation of the e-commerce websites that our account handles, ... [...]
