Satisfaction

The best way to poison (your enemy) of all is living well. Doing better than you did yesterday. Killing with kindness. But, genuine kindness.

Yesterday I wrote the biggest sale of the day, $19,000,00 in window treatments and bedding.

This is a tiny amount compared to what I used to sell in my own design practice.

This Is My Specialty.

Selling DESIGN - something that exist only in my head, And will never exist until an order is placed and a deposit paid.

Today I struggled....my manager was short, curt, and it seemed like plain old angry with me. I try so very hard to please....as I have discussed in previous posts.

I finally said to her ., "Sandra, I am sending you all good thoughts, pink puffs of love all day, and every day. And yet you are angry and short with me.

 Of course, she looked at me like I was weird, and cocked her head. She was puzzled.

But you see, I am quirky.This is a big part of  'my charm'. Or so I have been told by those who love and LIKE me.

And yes, me who is ridiculously sensitive was crying a bit. But when I cry (even a little) my eyes and the surrounding skin turn really red and super blotchy. [No hiding that from the coworkers]

Later I was in her office .....Sandra said to me, " Why are you so overwhelmed ?"

"Maybe you should go home. You can't sell.."

I told her,"I am not overwhelmed, my feelings are hurt." And "I will be fine after a cigarette and a coffee."

I also said; "And just to spite you, I am going to make a big sale and get another house-call lined up !!"

She finally smiled
