A Little Luck Needed I ran through the CORE test for pest control today. It wasn't too bad, though there were some questions that I think book covered in one line or less. I remember reading nothing about how aphids kill plants, how long pesticide paperwork needed to kept, or anything like that. So, I missed some questions, but ended up with an 89. The men mocked me a little for being so confidant, but screw em. I'll be fine. I did crack up in a room full of uniformed smelly guys when I read the question referring to genital pesticide contact. Somehow, I knew that was going to be on there. After accidentally getting some Off! aresol in my coochie this weekend, I know why they emphasize that, but I still find it shamelessly funny. Must be the teenage boy in me. In other good news, I'm getting my call center bonus on this paycheck. I forgot all about it, but those of us who lasted (me) get fifty cents for every hour worked on call center duty. That amounts to about $300 for yours truly and a kickass paycheck! The only problem is I'm still divided about doing Cherry Lane. I made an appointment with Dr. E to exchange books on Friday, thinking it was Thursday, and as I haven't been able to get out there lately, I'd like to keep it. I'm not as interested in the lessie party, though I do miss the all female socializing. It can be nice to have a whole bunch to women to meet with and gripe about men every once in awhile. (I'm just admitting the truth boys; we love you but sometimes you drive us crazy!) I miss that. Not that Dan's a bad partner, but Girl on Love said it best this month: sometimes you really just feel like a picking a fight. And yes, sometimes we know there is no reason for it. We just need to fight, rant, and scream. Take heed: it is nothing personal. I'm learning that in my long term relationship with Dan and through sales. Sometimes people just need someone to rant at so they can let off steam. Its irrational sometimes, but human. Learning to be a good sounding board, however, is a harder task. Anyway, my contacts are drying out and I doubt I'll get to emailing those papers tonight. All the positive work flow is draining my energy these days. That's okay though, I'm looking forward to seeing if all this advice actually works. Sales is a big game of chess where you find out where the customer wants to go and then carefully herd them towards a choice you can provide. Its more like sheep herding, now that I think about it. If you've ever seen Babe separate those sheep in the competition, you'll get what I mean. If you don't, then I'm just too tired. Daphne |
