    Default Got a new Job

    Hey guys...I'm finally up on my feet again and steady working....I've been pretty tore up since my mother passed away on May sixth of this year. I was a truck driver before I did what I do now and quit my job two years ago to take care of my mother who was diagnosed with lung cancer.

    Now I'm working for GDP marketing as a sales associate and training to become a regional president........

    I really love what I do and think I found something I want to do for the rest of my life....never before have I worked a job where I go in at 8 in the morning and leave at 7:30 at night and not cared.....

    What we do also makes me feel great at the end of the day also.

    I work for the corporate sponsor of a missing child charity based out of Florida that funds the searches for missing and exploited children as well as doing child safety.

    if you wanna see who I represent take a look.

    Child Protection Education of America


    This online community has been awesome in supporting each other and I just thought I would share my joy with all of you.

    Hope everything is going well for everyone and y'all have a great night. :

    GDP = Great Dane Promotions..... don't ask, I didn't create this branch (cincinnati area) and I think its because Becky, our president is a dog lover.

    Agreed. I think I remember that you were going through some stuff with your Mom, but I did not know the extent. I am sorry for your loss. I am glad to hear things are starting to move on for you.

    I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to cancer 17 years ago. We had our differences growing up, but I'd give anything to have him back just the way he was.
