Thoughts on career as a webmaster

In work news, I’m feeling surprisingly happy with where I am professionally. I quit working at Guitar Center and I started working with my cousin Donny at a real estate services company. It’s a place in Glenview that does commercial lease management for the tenant side of the business. Most of our clients are big companies that rent out a lot of spaces. Some of them are retail, like Best Buy but others are office leases like Hewlett Packard. It’s and owned by a married couple where she is a former real estate agent and he is a developer that built the software we use to summarize leases.

Included in my duties is being the webmaster for macmunnis.com. It’s kind of fun knowing that learning how to do all this on milesmaxwell.com has given me an advantage in my career. In fact, I’d go so far as to say I could see myself working on webpages as my main job and being very content with it. That’s not to say I won’t be doing music until my fingers go crooked but as far as 9-5’s go, it’s really not so bad.
