Great control! It sounds kind of funny in hindsight, though I’m sure you weren’t too

amused at the time. It’s so hard working with the public,

you can’t be too rude to those people in front of potential customers,

though they certainly had it coming to them. I hope you have a cell phone handy

to call 911 in case something like this get’s

too far out of hand. –dz-

In addition to that happening Friday night....

I work in my

model until 7pm and about 6 or so

these group of women

came in and

looked around. Instead of leaving like most people do

they just

hung out...actually sat down (all 5 of them) in my formal

living and

were talking really REALLY loud...just made themselves

right at

home. Anyways, the youngest (@ 25 or so) came in the

kitchen

while I was talking to some prospective homebuyers. She had

this green

vase in her hand, interupted our conversation and

asked,

" Can I have this? " My chin must have hit the floor because

the couple I

was talking to cracked up. I got real indignant and

said no, but

the dummy asked again. Then after I told her no and

that it

wasn't even mine to give she punched me in the arm and told

me she was

just kidding. Back she goes to the living room...they

stayed

another 5 minutes or so...as they were walking out the door

she turns

around and asks... " wanna trade? " I just lost

it....mentally.

Thank the Lord that these other people were there

or I

probably would have gone off. PEOPLE AMAZE ME!!!

I suppose. I have never thought of that aspect of your business. We've got a lot of weird characters around our plant, but at least they're (for the most part), identified. Are you generally in highly populated areas? It's kind of neat to me to meet people from so many different walks of like and learning things about different professions that I never would have thought of. So I suppose you work a model alone (not wanting to share any commissions )) -dz-

I guess there’s pro’s and cons

to that. My brother lost his job after 28 years and is now working with a

company that sells funeral plots, etc… He ran the sales office where he

used to work, but was a network tech. They did CAD drawings etc. for companies

in manufacturing. We all know how manufacturing has fared in the past several

years. Anyway, he’s got some experience in the sales field, but not

direct sales as he is now. He works on 100% commission. If he doesn’t

sell, he makes nothing. Not the field for me. He works odd hours too, like

several days running, then a week off, or something like that. –dz-

I’ve heard a somewhat milder form of

that like “selling ice cubes to an Eskimo”. Anyway, my back seems

ok today, thanks for asking. I’m suffering from psychic troubles now. Everybody

in my household is going to the hospital, leaving me and the pets to despair…

No rest for the wicked, I guess. I hope to hear more about my mom soon. It’s

her I’m most worried about. If she loses much more functionality we won’t

be able to care for her on our own. Better days are coming, we don’t yet

know when. –dz-

Yep, really weird hours when you're in sales.

Pardon the

expression,

but Shane says I could " sell shit to a shit farmer " , but

even with

all the money that there is to be made I'd rather be home

on the

weekends with them. Oh well, I guess I can put my knack for

b.s. to use

elsewhere. BTW...how's your back today?
