Thunderstorm, Sales, & Tonsilloliths
Me
Likey
I LOVE
thunder & Lightning. We’re not talking Garth
Brooks here, folks, we’re talking the real deal. Yep,
as of a few hours ago, that is the official forecast
for my area.
Read it and weep.
I have no idea why I like it. It’s actually kind of
scary. Sounds like an earthquake making its way to us
at times. But the laser light show with full
surround-sound support is worth it. And thankfully,
our animals are sharp enough to grasp that if we’re
not afraid, then neither should they be.
Death
of a Salesman
OK, so
manager or not, a large portion of my day still
consists of sales. And as I was on the phone today
with some dufus that felt the compelling need to
explain that his son’s name was the same as mine, and
then even continue further to let me know he was only
5 – in case I was confused and thought maybe I was
his son – and also countless other unimportant
fact-lets regarding his life, I couldn’t help but
picture the rest of my life like that. I’d be one
gray 30 y/o, that’s for sure.
We’ve been slow the last few months. Not necessarily
slower than normal for this time of year, but ‘tis
the season to pick up volume-wise. And we are. And
it’s good, because as I still have some
commision-based salary, I could use the help.
Downside, of course, is that I’m more likely to have
to talk to people. And as my stepfather would say, I
do not suffer fools gladly.
Roughly translated, that means I hate stupid people.
I think it's latin or something.
Tonsilloliths
I DID NOT
make that word up. It’s real. Really.
Check it out. I
did, however, discover that this is what I have
been experiencing for the last 5 years or so of my
life. Gross, huh? Are you glad I shared? You
should be! Dammit! How often do you get to get
dibs on information like that!? Hell, if I ever
run for president or something, you may be able to
use it against me. In a court of law or something.
K, maybe not, but now you can point and laugh as I
walk down the street.
But don’t let me catch you; otherwise I may through a
tonsillolith at you.
Gross. Peace.
