No Worries!

No Worries! I had been out of touch with my good friends at TutorZ for a few years now. It was a great experience working with those guys but, with school ending and my internship ending, it seemed like a good time to move on. Now and again I would regret going separate ways, because the folks that developed and create TutorZ.com were good people and I missed them sometimes. But, I already had a job and circumstances seemed to place me elsewhere. But they were good times up there being involved in helping get this great idea off the ground. Well, life goes on. I occasionally would receive a newsletter from TutorZ in my inbox, but would just delete it as those days were over and it felt kind of sad. Of course I wished them great success, but somehow I felt sad moving on. Time passes and a few years later everything in my life had change. The job I had for many years was ending, by my choice, as I worked for greedy people who had no interest in the well-being of others really. Just profit, profit, profit. I have nothing against money but I have seen people work that had human kind on their mind as well. I may seem a little sentimental and unrealistic but not so. It is easy to get jaded and cynical and caught up in the let me get mine mind set. How much do you need? More was always the answer. Looking back at TutorZ, there was an example of people thinking, what can we create that would be useful and helpful to many people that would cause no harm to others? Well TutorZ did it, a service which helps to connect students and tutors in a simple inexpensive way. This kind of positive healthy thinking was an attraction to me back then. And they did it. TutorZ was moving along building momentum with little to no real major marketing maneuvers. Just by word of mouth TutorZ was growing. So, one day, last summer, I opened my email and there was a new Newsletter from TutorZ.com. For no special reason I decided to click “open” instead of “delete” and the first thing that caught my eye was a video. The image was of my old friend and boss Dirk and his girlfriend Lilly. The title read “Sightseeing in Dubai”. Well now I’m hooked in, I had to watch it. Who wouldn’t want to go to Dubai, the playground for the wealthy? I was amazed at how tightly put together this video was, including the music. I enjoyed it so much that I sent an email to TutorZ sending best wishes to Dirk and the crew. A few days go by and I’m in my office at home. I am applying for jobs that I could do from my own home now. I’ve had some physical challenges for a long time but now they were much worse and I decided that I would take pressure off myself by finding a decent job where I didn’t have to sit on the freeway for hours and drag myself into the office every day. Then the phone rings. It’s Dirk. Wow. How are you? What’s going on? It was great to talk with him after all those years had gone by. We got caught up a bit, and before I knew it I was offered a telecommuting job with TutorZ. I could not tell you how excited I was. This really seemed to come out of thin air to me. But actually it came out of a DSL line. I really enjoy the idea of being back with the TutorZ gang and helping to move it forward. TutorZ has always been a forward thinking company. My duties and responsibilities have grown and I am growing with it. I must say that I could not come up with a subject that doesn’t have a tutor to help you with. Mathematics, English, Science, Engineering, Sports, caring for yourself physically and emotional, It’s all here. The diversity and spectrum of people I deal with is wonderful. Especially my coworkers at TutorZ. Like the kids use to say; “It’s all good!” And if your struggling with a course at school, like the kids say now; ”No worries”,   TutorZ is here! No Worries!
