Day to Day
There is no normal day, my days are controlled by a calendar, but the calendar is not set in stone. I have weekly / monthly reports for various aspects of my job. I need to utilize the internet to track stories and stay up with current events. I help non-profits with grants from the company. I work with various organizations to promote Economic Development. Yet, each day can be changed on dime, when there is a focus.
