I started Viscosity at a very young age as the receptionist when customer contracts were typed on an electric typewriter. It wasn't quite as sophisticated as the computers we use now. After a year I moved on to Inventory Control. Viscosity was moving up in technology and the inventory and accounting were making their niche on the computer.
In 1980 I began my career as the Viscosity Oil "customer service rep" for International Harvester and their ship direct program. I worked directly with the Harvester field reps in routing orders and scheduling dealer shipments. After Case bought IH and Ship Direct Central was established in Kansas City, I worked directly with them and the dealers. In 1996 I worked as the New Holland Customer Service Rep after VOC acquired the business. I have met some very interesting people throughout the years and have enjoyed talking and working with all of the dealers and hope to continue doing so for many more years.
During the years at Viscosity I went back to school and earned an Associates in Business degree. It took me four years, but I made it. My husband Tom and I will be married 30 years this October, we have four children, four grandchildren and one on the way in September (a girl). Tom is retired from the Chicago Police Department and works as an Investigator for the Cook County States Attorney's office in Gang Crimes. We also have three Cocker Spaniels, and I've gone back to school, this time for, "Pet Grooming" and will get my State of Illinois Certificate, hopefully, in December or January.
Sometime in the future we would like to move to Galena, IL, where we have property, and I would love to have a dozen dogs. Right now, life is good and Viscosity always has some kind of surprise up its sleeve to keep us guessing about what's next! (Right, Jeff?)
