I feel personally attacked! I donāt want to be an adult and you canāt make me! Maybe I need a napā¦. Considering the increase in the nasty attitudes in the general population these days I suspect a lot of folks would benefit from a short power nap.! They really do work. I limit mine to about 25 minutes most afternoons and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to have another run at "The List".

Congratulations Jason! Sounds like you found a place you can really fit into.
I started a new job as well in early March. 2 months in now and was a great decision as well.
Enjoy the journey and make the best of every day š

I've said for a long time I know the exact moment an individual becomes an adult. It has nothing to do with responsibilities or maturity. The exact moment when a person is a full-fledged adult is when naps become "cool" again! LOL I feel personally attacked! I donāt want to be an adult and you canāt make me! Maybe I need a napā¦. A good laugh and a nap solves everything

Maybe we should lobby for naps

I limit mine to about 25 minutes most afternoons and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to have another run at "The List". Henry, I think you just might be right about that! Most people's lives are all about rush, rush, rush...there's no "down time". I know I'm happier after a nap! LOL Congratulations Jason! Sounds like you found a place you can really fit into. I started a new job as well in early March. 2 months in now and was a great decision as well. Enjoy the journey and make the best of every day š Thanks Nate!! Awesome about the new job! I hope both of our jobs turn out to be a continued "good fit" once the honeymoon phase of the job is over! Congratulations on the new job! It sounds like it was definitely meant to be - signs signs everywhere the signs!! I know you'll find the time to still work the rocks. Best of luck to you!! Thanks Peta! I tried working a cab last night as I had about an hour to kill before dinner. Was working away, and wouldn't you know it, the dang thing popped off dop halfway through the initial grind! Grrrrr!! LOL I feel personally attacked! I donāt want to be an adult and you canāt make me! Maybe I need a napā¦. A good laugh and a nap solves everything Well...almost everything! LOL Congratulations on the new job. Definitely sounds like the Big Guy was giving you all kinds of signs and answers to prayers. Best of Luck to you and keep rockin' Diane Thanks Diane! Sometimes I've ignored the signs I've been shown...this time I didn't...and I'm just hoping I read the signs right! LOL - So far, I believe I have!

Congrats Jason ! I had noticed you hadnāt been posting as much lately, hoping things were ok. This news explains it all. I thought maybe you were on another field trip possibly gone wrong, but was hoping for the best. Good sales has to do with developing good listening skills, knowing your product offerings inside and out, staying away from putting down competitors products, and good relationship building. Customers want to be heard, want to be remembered, and want to work with a happy and competent person to help them achieve their goals. You can do it brother! markb š

I actually feel badly that I can't respond to posts as quickly as I was before. I know the other people working there spend time on their phones...not when customers are around...so they know the "when" to do it. And I should add the boss is ok with them doing it. However, I don't feel I'm in a position to do it just yet. *I should clarify, they don't abuse being on their phones like I see so many places. They're on them briefly...and when it's appropriate to do so. None of us take an actual lunch. We stay clocked in and eat lunch there...so we don't miss any customers. So, there's a little latitude with using cell phones every once in awhile. You're spot on with your view on sales!
