Everyone has to make a living, no?

You’re a little kid. Someone asks you what you want to be when you grow up. You say:
a) I wanna be a firefighter
b) I wanna be a veterinarian
or
c) I wanna be head of a sales team that for a company that has developed a new software module will enable operators of both pet cemeteries and crematories to obtain considerable savings by eliminating duplicate time-consuming manual processes.
Everyone picked (c), right?
I mean honestly, isn’t it strange the things people come up with? I guess it’s perfectly reasonable that software needs to be developed for cemeteries no matter for pets or for people, but it just struck me as one of the weirder things to do when one “grows up.”
And I’m ever so grateful that I am not the person who has to write the press releases for this product, which I’m sure is wonderful and necessary, but still …
Seriously Gina! I got a press release not long ago concerning soft ware for pet crematoriums. I wonder if this is the same company. One of the things they claimed is that I would have increased repeat sales. Like huh? My dog dies and then 8 years later I go back to the same place due to the ease of their soft ware?

Am sorry, donot really know under which blog to post this.
I am done, however, with the HSUS and forked tongue Wayne Pacelle after reading this article.

No more monthly automatic contribution to them. The Vick dogs are not even evaluated individually. Shame, shame on the HSUS after parasiting on these poor dogs for their donation campaign. They truly make me sick to my stomach. Sorry I have to vent.
No way in hell could every one of them be unadoptable.
They are just a money grabbing bunch , looking for any opportunity to raise money under false hypocrytical pretenses. No effort at all to save some of the dogs. I truly despise them.

I actually deal with two companies that provide such software (but not for pets yet). And we and the sales team are right in the middle of customizing one product to eliminate duplicate manual processes.
I didn’t say I wanted to do this when I was a little kid. I wanted to be an archaeologist. Not too far off, actually.

Okay, this is right on the heels of my Pet Funeral Director career post. I am continuously amazed at the growth and complexity in the pet memorial service industry.
