Why to stay at ISI (And the tale of the hot sauce)

First off, have the magical tale of our stupidity and the the Hottest Hotsauce ever. Serriously, it's the hottest hotsauce in the world.

So on Monday Kelly brought in 'Da Bomb' Hotsauce. Wait, it was Tuesday. I was with Kelly on Tuesday, not Monday. I was with Les MONDAY. Getting back to the story. Anyways, Kelly was having people try it, and it was the smalles ammount too, like a tiny spot on your pinkie, etc. They started going on about how hot it was. So Les comes in and wants to have some. Kelly and I had some and decided that we didn't get any of the oils in it, so Les covered the opening with his finger. shook it up, then rubbed the sauce into his tounge. I told him it was a stupid moment (We were just now talking about it), and he says, 'It was a brave, manly moment'. Whatever, it was a stupid thing to do. Anyways, he was coughing for about 5 years and couldn't talk at all. That's not the story though. Later, and excuse my language, Kelly, Sam, and I decided to smother the top of a warhead with the hotsauce and then eat it. Yea... we're dumbasses. That shit burned! I couldn't swallow without my throat burning like crazy, the roof of my mouth was all about burn off, and I could feel the hotsauce burning merrily in my stomach a couple hours later.....
Not gonna do that again =D

Okay. Now, my reason and wish for staying at ISI for my fourth-quarter walkabout.

Identity Systems Inc. is a company that has many different types of jobs within it's walls. A good chunk of the jobs here is sales and accounting. Mostly I've been working in sales with different people like Les, Emilie, Wanda, and Jami learning the different aspects of how to work that side of the buisness, what to do, and how to do it. That alone, if I spent the rest of my time just in sales, would take up the rest of this walkabout quarter.

But you see, I really want to learn how the system works as well, which is more into the tech department. I want to learn how Made2Manage works, how a engraving machine works, how to solve computer problems and how to make things work the way that people want to. SO, I was hoping that for my 4th quarter I could come back to ISI and work with Kelly, Sam, Terry, and whoever else has experience with the computers and tech here so I could learn a LOT more. I have a feeling that it's gonna take me a good chunk of time to learn how the system works.

This really doesn't explain it, and I'd be happy to come in and talk to all of you about this topic. Because I really don't want to do PSEO, and there are many risks, both physical and mental risks (Like getting hurt, disappointing people here, angering the president of the company, falling onto the screenprinter, etc etc) here and I really want to learn a lot more here than I have time to do so.

So please, let me come in to talk about it because I really want to stay here for another quarter and learn the most I can.
