It Feels Quite Nice to be Back

It's been a while, too long in fact, since I have been able to post to my blog via my personal computer, and since my last encounter with online activity much has changed, most note worthy, I have a job. Upon my termination July 12, 2011 I knew I would have to make sacrifices, and fast, the first to go was internet and cable, saving $250.00 per month immediately, the second was eating out and then it was just a matter of watching our spending habits until further notice. So the race was on, and the interviews were countless, some great some not so good. I think I went on approximately 11 interviews with 8 different companies. It was the last and final company to contact me that was to be woo me in to employment.

Noble Plastics is a custom plastic mold injection manufacturer in Grand Coteau, La. We are in a vast array of businesses' and markets. We work with indivual inventors, developers and entrepenuers, to the elite members of the US Military. We operate in a 30,000 sq. ft. facility off of Hwy 49 at exit 11. We presently have an Industrial Designer, 3 Mechanical Engineers (2 with PE's), a Process Analyst with a Ph.D, and now, for the very first time, a Marketing and Sales Specialist (me). Our facility is incredibly hi tech and incredibly advanced. We are currently running 6 Six Sigma Axis Robots:



I have attached a short video to show what our robots do, I cannot show what products we are currently producing nor can I show photos from the back of the shop as I am bound by law to keep all that private, at any rate, the video of the robot is pretty much what we have, we have 6, 3 of which operate on a 24 hr scale. Employing Robots has created some moral and ethical questions about putting people out of work, but our robots work so diligently that we have been fortunate to employ more people and we are still in need of personnel. Our robots are creating jobs, which is really exciting.

I have been with the company now for 2 weeks and I have a really great thing going. My bosses are amazing and the people I work with are wonderful. Recently it was a young girls birthday, that morning the owners of the company cooked a 3 course breakfast just for her, everyone was invited, but it was in honor of her birthday. Last Thursday I was out back working in a non air conditioned portion of the warehouse for about 8 hours (I had come in really early), I was pulled from the warehouse at 3 to find a huge bowl of ice cream had been fixed for me! I think I have found my family with this company, I start traveling for them next week and I am ecstatic. I hope to be able to grow the company as well as grow with the company.

Well, I finally have internet again and just at the right time, Cox was running some new customer discount stuff and I have Fox Soccer Channel, super pumped about that. No more missing games! Although I am glad I missed that Man Utd. Chelsea game last week.
