Big Fat Greek
Rat
Saturday April 24, 2004
I get so
pissed off when I let too many days fly by without recording a trace of
it's impact. I dart and dodge around with projects and
compulsions. My mind is a revolving door that gives the illusion
of movement, but every morning it's like looking at that same old
photograph.
I found out
today that I am currently tied for second place in the BIG NYC contest
at work. I have sold 30 products with 30 more to sell by June 1st
just to qualify. I don't know if I will pull it off. I found
out one of the girls has been selling it outside of work, at her
husband's work and hasn't even started selling to her BIG FAT GREEK
FAMILY. I have this daunting feeling that I won't stand a chance. I only have my clients. My faithful clients....???.
(crossing fingers...)
My boss handed
me a letter this morning at work. I looked at the return
address and didn't recognize the name. The letter explained that
she was the one who came in for
a makeover
with her two sisters. The letter said how she loved the haircut and that she had received tons
of compliments. She also mentioned that the hair color was a
little shocking at first (ROCKET FIRE... -being the name of the color I
used)
but that it had toned down a bit just like I said and that she really
does love it and will be back in to see me very soon and one of her
friends wants to come to see me too. It really made my day.
I had never received a letter of gratitude like this before. It
also made me really feel good because she was the one client the whole
year who had given me full creative license to do what I know how to do.
RATS
I think I am slowly driving my rats insane because of their cage
location. They are on the kitchen bar so they probably can smell food
all day long. They absolutely go nuts when I make popcorn. I
really like their location now; eye level, center of room, but I
wonder if they would be less irritable if I moved them somewhere else.
I keep thinking that If I smelled food all day and my diet mostly
consisted of hard pellets I would hang myself.
