Day 24 - Whatever tickles your fancy...


  Ok let's pick a new topic... Let's talk about where I work.  I have a Marketing Degree, and I live in the sticks so the fact that I found a job that I can use my degree on a daily basis is pretty crazy.  I'm lucky!
I do Marketing and Human Resources for a company called DANLIN.  Danlin is owned by DANny and LINda Floyd.  They are great people, they are wonderful Christians, and they employee most all their family, with the exception of a few of us... we just fall in the mix somehow.

A few years back when I took over Marketing I was assigned to build us a "new look" so with that I created a new logo for us.  Our logo symbolizes a drop of oil (which also incorporates the D and the L of DanLin and it has a flame of gas.  The animated logo above helps describe. it.


My job requires me to travel some.  I got to Oil and Gas Expo's and 'man' the booth for engineers, pumpers, and forman to come by and talk business.  This year I've been to several shows: Wichita Falls, OKC - 3 times, Perryton, TX, Midland, TX, and this summer I will go to Longview, TX, San Antonio, TX, and Dallas, TX.   Aside from having to be away overnight sometimes this is the funnest part of my job. I get to get out there shake hands and meet people. 

and my job allows me to go on location from time to time.  Above is a picture of us on a location, waiting to do a photoshoot for the brochures that I put together.  Locations have strict rules: Hard hats, steel toe boots, and safety glasses.  Which is EXACTLY how we are all decked out.
Then I go out to drilling rigs - this is how I "learn" it's hard to write a brochure, work on the website, and attend trade shows if you've never been on a well site.  So here I am on a well site getting educated!  Please try not to be jealous of the 1. hardhat 2. safety glasses.  I can let you borrow them if you want.
Again, I have an interesting job.  Marketing certainly allows for a variety and allows for times not sitting behind a desk.  It does take a lot of computer work, from design, to upkeep I look at a computer a lot... but again all in all I am very blessed to work for a great Company!
