It's nice to know that if today was the first day of the rest of my life and I needed to find a job, I could easily land this one and I'm at least worth 35k. The idea of sales terrifies me because I hate having to push a product onto people, I'm not much of a sales person and I'm definitely better suited for customer service or management. But still... I could do this.

I'm having a great morning, which is rare for a Saturday, which is even rarer for THIS Saturday. I came in ON TIME (seriously... I clocked in at 6:01, that NEVER happens) despite the fact that I slept in 13 minutes late. Things were going well, minus the burned out light bulb in the lobby that required me to risk my life crawling up on a rickety old step ladder.

Even with the group of ten Mexicans that cleaned out all the breakfast items I set out and having them grind frosting into the carpet... rude jerk bastards.

Even with the guy who complained of phantom ants "covering the entire bathroom wall" (his words, not mine) when there was probably only a small cluster that went away in the two minutes it took for my boss to walk downstairs.

Even with the door-to-door religion salesman insisting on leaving pamphlets at the desk despite my kindest objections. At least I have the March 2011 edition of "The Watchtower: Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom: to read in my downtime.
