In my almost-30 years on this planet, my father has worked for two companies: \u00a0 Browning Arms all while I was growing up, then the LDS Church since about the time I went on my mission. \u00a0 I’d call that a commendable track record, especially in today’s labor marketplace.<\/p>\n
I mention this because, this morning, I am about to start a job with my fourth company since Audrey was born four years ago. \u00a0 (Heck, since Nathan was born two<\/em> years ago!) \u00a0 The number is even higher if you count changes in management and\/or name (i.e. Clear Channel sold ABC 4 to Newport Television; Rocky Mountain Printing was bought out by Printech Plus and became RM Plus, both of which are now being sold to FC Printing \/ Advantage Mailing; and E-Harbor changed its name to Marketecture.)<\/p>\n My new position is doing web development (surprise!) for a company called Sound Concepts. \u00a0 I have worked with them as one of RMP’s biggest print-on-demand clients and I always thought it would be cool to work with them full-time instead. \u00a0 Just days after I got laid off from E-Harbor, my contact with Sound Concepts approached me about the possibility of coming to work for them, and I jumped at the chance. \u00a0 My salary will be better than at any of the other places I’ve worked, and there’s the added bonus of having their headquarters literally a mile and a half from our house here in American Fork.<\/p>\n I hope that I’ll have a little more longevity with Sound Concepts than I have had with other jobs recently. \u00a0 Maybe Baby #3 (due in September, if you missed the announcement!) will be able to look back at his\/her life and say, “My dad has only had one job since I was born.” \u00a0 Wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In my almost-30 years on this planet, my father has worked for two companies: \u00a0 Browning Arms all while I was growing up, then the LDS Church since about the time I went on my mission. \u00a0 I’d call that a commendable track record, especially in today’s labor marketplace.
