Advice Needed (Page 2)

if you can bs... you are destined to be a good sales person...
it has to be accurate butter tho. lol. i do it. lol

Yeah, I mean of course there has to be a certain amount of shmoozing involved, otherwise we'd never sell anything (and there are products that we individually get rewarded for selling on an individual basis. But I'm talking about flat out fibs like, "I've used this, and I really recommend it" when the person has never used it. Silly things like that.

well...I'm about to hit the sack...I'm super tired. Good night, talk to ya later and I really appreciate the advice. 🙂

You're being really negative about this 'writing' thing. I never thought i could make a career out of what i do but i have. My sister is also a published writer.

Yeah, I know. I mean, I know I'm being negative. My boyfriend said I'm climbing the "NO" tree. lol. He said I'm picking apples from the "negative tree" and I need to stop it. lol. Sometimes I feel like I'm at some sort of self-betterment seminar when I talk to him...maybe it's a Leo thing, but his little cliches have a way of irking me because I feel like he's not taking me seriously and he's making light of something not light, or something. But since the title of this thread isn't "cookiemonster about your boyfriend", I shall return to the topic at hand...

That's awesome about your sister and you.

Phoenix,
I know you took this job because of pressure to get a job...it is true that it is a job that is beneath your capabilities...but, I am proud of you that you have stuck it out this far, and continue to stick it out. As Libragirl pointed out...use it as a stepping stone.

I, too, have worked in a variety of jobs...waitress, cashier, nursing assistant, manager of a convenience store, and once, even a corn-sorter! (lol! that was a fascinating job!! *cough*)
I have found my niche...but, I continue to do side projects in other areas because I enjoy it and because I feel it is a way to empower my daughter. If I work with her on projects, she is much more apt to do these things...she is always belittling her talent....and I think she is amazing! It is a long process...learning to believe in yourself...

You remind me a bit of my daughter...you have amazing talent, but, you do not believe in yourself as much as others believe in you... It takes time to learn to believe in yourself, this I know...but, I beseech you to embark on this path!!
Love ya, Star

Libragirl, what is it that you do? I don't recall that I know...
(I always enjoy your posts! Would you mind if I e-mailed you sometime?)

Star, thank you! Your support is very much appreciated.

As a side note, corn-sorting doesn't sound all that bad right now...lol. At least I wouldn't have to answer questions from customers with a straight face when they ask me things like, "what does alcohol-free mean?"

🙂

LOL! Actually, corn-sorting was kinda fun! I wasn't allowed real music...so, I would play certain upbeat songs in my head all day long so that I could work fast and not become a 'corn zombie!!'

You are quite right! Sometimes, dealing with people is a DEFINITE challenge! LOL! Love ya, Chica!

Star, yes, you can email me. I think my addy is on my profile, I'll just check. Yes, it is! I'm having a bit of a quandry with what i do because it clashed with my value system. I am in a weird state of mind right now so i don't want to say too much, for fear of spreading negative energy. Gee, im so weird today, i don't know what is wrong. I think my mind has been highjakced by aliens...

Cornsorting would have been fun. I have done these monotonous jobs but they were okay, as long as you ignored the other people.

I've gotta go before my psyche gets anymore weirder. Is 'weirder' even a word?

That was supposed to be "it clashes"...
