I suppose that I have mentioned that every year
( YES.I made it more than a year....July 14th was 1 year for me)
we have a huge, crazy, nutty sale.
If I haven't mentioned it.....I will now.
It is stressful.
I am so not kidding.
And I know I have mentioned many times what a huge adjustment
this has been for me to work in sales.
Not just in sales......
But, on the premier, hard core, real deal, best furniture selling job in town.
This takes guts and courage daily.
After all ....
I am just a 'creative type.'
Not really a 'flesh eating' type.
see above-
'flesh eating type'
and hasn't he done well for himself?
see above;
will say or do anything for a sale type.
But this chic is scary. Really scary.
here is the 'will do anything' type.....
When I first started I had a few giving me a hard time,
(see above)
and now they are my allies.
Thank G-d for small favors.
In fact we are pretty close.
And she does look just like that!
And then there is me......
I am freaked out about going into work today.
I have to work late - until 9pm
There are 2,
I mean 3 people who are deadly towards me
and I will be working alone with them tonight.
No allies.....
Just me and the other 3 devil dogs.
Wish me luck.....
this is so stressful.
Perhaps I will wear my good white jacket to work today.
What do you say?
At least I will fit in!!!!!
When will August be over ????

I've got your back sista, although too far away to be a threat this weekend. But, I wield a mean laptop. Yes, thank the Lord you have allies there at work, it can make or break a gal. I so know what it feels like to work a shift with those who are not in your corner. Can make for one really..long..day. Just hope you can "feel the love" from all of us who adore you as go to work today? No go 'whistle while you work' and kick some butt.

ReplyDeleteOh and do wear a stiff jacket just in case any of them bring their claws out!!!
Hey Sweet Friend! Woohoo to you that you made it in 'that' place for over a year now. Proud of you and you have held your head high and not stooped to the levels of your coworkiers. Holding your hand and big tight hugs.
