this week has been... humbling? i wonder if that's the right word.

selling credit cards is not exactly the most pleasant profession.

example:

mel: hi there sir, how are you today?
talking asshole: i've been through this routine before. take down my license plate and never talk to me again.
*turns his head.
mel: ok then.
*hangs his head and walks away to his next percutor.

of course it's not all, bad, just mostly... 80% bad.

what i have learnt:
1) richer parts of town have a richer quality of ASShole.
2) communities that actually have communities where people enjoy 'human interaction' have assholes, but there is more pleasantness than assholishness.
3) rejection is plentiful and lets you know about yourself and your community.
4) you should only put up with this shit if you're getting something that makes up for it. 100$ per day just doesn't quite do it.
5) spend your life developing skills that will create something useful as well as earn you money.
6) life is too short, don't be an ass.
7) quittin time.

this was hilarious. i enjoyed this blog because it was all so remarkably true. today a woman told me to go away and then as she drove off, she shook her head in disgust. good times...

also, the approval rate is apparently so low that this week we don't get any incentive pay. what does this mean? it means i'm slacking off. jackie even let me go home early today because it was so dead and i was so bored. i always went clubbing tonight and saw ryan. he was quite drunk and happy to see me.
