...make me...

Alright, so the ad banner thing is probably still here, but I felt like doing an update anyway. Today at work I got some time off the phones for a very unusual reason. I was to help coach someone on the team who was poor at sales. Me, who last month struggled to get 30 or more, is now coaching people on sales techniques! I told people who I took tyro with, and they were simply shocked... Because it wasn't that long ago when I could go a week without a sale. Now it's a slow day when I go an hour without a sale. So yeah, I've improved on sales. I didn't actually know it, but I am good at sales. The person I was coaching actually liked my advise on how to sell some of our products to people. My best advise was to actually use the product. Such as the MSN Premium. Infact, I'm using the browser right now. And when I got home, I used it to check my e-mail. And I also checked my buddy list with it. It's quite the fancy little set of browsing goodness. Anyway, I already know it's nice, why doesn't everybody buy it from me?

One guy who called today was so happy with the service I provided to him, he wanted even forced me to send him the home networking router just so I would get the comission. I didn't have the heart to tell him that the jerk who first sold the guy the product back in september had already logged the sale, but neglected to complete it. That boils my hide because it's not like I didn't do all the work to deserve that sale. I even got the guy to agree to a one year contract at the 44.95 price for high speed! I better get money for that.

So the day seems to be going from good to worse. Apparently the person I recommened for the job I also applied for has an interview and I don't. Boo to that. Guess I gotta work on that resume. Oh well. And also, my supervisor told me the manager never heard back yet about my raise, so he had to fire off another e-mail. Why don't they just give me the damn raise. One whole dollar an hour! It's not like I don't deserve it!

But enough about work, because it's Thursday night and everything is alright. That's right, long weekend! 3 days of fun and madness! My former bell buddy from Tyro wants to go snowboarding on Saturday so I best get my groove on... The groove that will help me stop on my speedy decent down the hill that is. I'm going to give goofy a try since regular didn't feel right. I think there's some merit to the "if somebody pushed you from behind, which foot would you stick out" test.

Stop looking at me goofy. Keep that up and you won't be dangling anymore!

Well, looks like I have adds on my geocitites space. I'm going to have to have a talk with rogers on this. Damn them. So no udpates until I get this stupid stuff fixed. Grr to them!
