I made it! I made the 14 hr drive in two days and reached the northern Texas metropolis of Amarillo, Texas. It sure is a beauty up here. Not. It's dry, windy, and very dusty. I'm in the middle of week three and working hard. I've made a whopping 29 installs so far and only have 171 left to go! We have been working in the small towns in the whole panhandle of Texas with names that include Borger, Dumas, Fritch, Dalhart, Canadian, and Perryton. Got to love the small town feel. Most everyone is nice, cowboy, hick, or somewhere in between. There are a lot of oil refineries and meat packing plants that dot the area. So thats where most people work.The sales crew is amazing this year. They are led by a stalwart, veteran Vivint bro who can sell like a machine. They do really good in trying to help us out as Techs and work hard to get us installs. I really have no complaints! They encourage people to tip us which helps with the gas... Which we spend a lot on. The tech crew is even better with seasoned veterans like Nate, Timmy, and D-rock. We've also got some great rookies who are picking it up quick. Living quarters are leaps and bounds better than living in hotels and I love that Buffalo Wild Wings is right next door.
Great start to a great summer. Installs are coming, good times are being had, and orange is still my favorite color. More to come as the summer adventures of a Technician continue!
Oh the life of a technician.
