I thought this was a sales job?

Today I took my trip to Hattiesburg to meet with the water treatment people. The interview was cool. The tone was more of me doing the talking and asking questions and the interviewers would answer back. It was cool to just talk about what I've done and what I enjoy doing.

They did have a couple "technical questions". The first was "what is 4/5 of 4/5 in decimal?" and the second dealt with "how many 55 gal drums full of water would it take to fill this room?". They caught me by surprise, but I was able to get them right.

The more we talked the more I found out that this isn't exactly the "sales job" I expected. It's more of a field engineer position. I'll be going around to clients' plants and evaluating how they treat boiler, cooling tower, and waste streams. Even going as far as designing a delivery system if needed.

Lots of travel and even the possibility of working under licensed PEs stand before me. All I need is the callback for a second interview and then rock that.

In other news, I passed my P90X fitness test so I shouldn't die doing the workouts. I'll start the program Sunday with a weight of 255 and 25% body fat. Time to Bring It!
