New Cut Yeah, I got that whole long haired girl look over with. I couldn't stand it anymore, folks. I really couldn't. The hair was getting in my way and I felt it was holding me back. It also reminded me of modeling too much and I need a break. I need to do something new, and so I got it all chopped off. Well, not completely. Its short but cute, in sort of a Velma style, which looks nice and nerdy when I wear my glasses. As I've stopped wearing my contacts for a few weeks now, the look works for me. Gaining back the weight though and the loss of hair does make my body look a little bigger though, and I guess I'll just have to find some confidence to overcome that. Speaking of which, I need to sober up and get motivated. Dan and I have several projects to do and no time to do them. I need to start writing more as my editor approved the syndication idea. I don't know how I'll be able to do it with all these day time distractions, but I've got to find a way. Dan and I need to play around less and work a little more. We're bonding pretty well right now, so maybe we can find a playdate for next week, but we've got to decrease the video games to up the productivity sometime soon. Lol, I got Willow a lead and anchor so she can stay in the yard. As I write, Dan is trying to disentangle her once again. I'm happy enough she stopping just sitting outside the door and whining. I thought she'd never stop! Hopefully, she'll get used to it and like going out there on her own. Only other thing to add is that work sucks. Saturday was rather slow so I was forced to finish the last call sheet I had. That didn't go too badly, but I'm getting the idea that my boss wants me to phone all those people over again from the first list I did. I don't want to do that. Its not just because I'm lazy either. I think they'll just find us annoying and, as most of those calls were voicemails, we'll just be wasting our time leaving more messages that won't get returned. Maybe its just me, but I think that companies who call you for seasonal service renewals are intrusive. I don't think anyone should think that way about us If sales are low, it might be due to the cold weather, so they'll pick up when it gets warmer. Or, and much more likely with Michigan's 4% unemployment rate, everyone is probably cutting back due to economic setbacks and so can't afford fancy pest control services. It happens. The economy is declining so its harder to get new clients or renewals. Quit freaking out about it and relax. Of course, nobody in sales follows that philosophy. God, I wish I didn't work Satuday morning shifts. Daphne |
