Wednesday was a day that the mowers were going in our apartment complex. Tuesday is the day they fire them up, but it was raining yesterday. Even back in 06 when I lived here I know that tuesdays annoyed me when I worked nights because they mow right by your window at 9 AM. I woke up this morning and wasn't really annoyed. Seems like my Lexipro is working because that used to drive me nuts to the point of anger. I could feel myself starting to get anxious, but I just walk myself through mentally that "It's not a big deal" and to do something. I played a quick game of Fifa just to do something silly. I played as the United States National team against Australia. I tied which was weird because the USA is way better in the game. I guess I just was terrible. I play some texas hold em on my phone. The players that the computers have on my phone range from terrible to good (They aren't real people with not real money) I was thinking about the texas hold em machines they have at casino's Those things never make a mistake and have no real money to contend with. On my phone I can bully around players because it is just a game. It is kind of cheesy to go all in and bully people out of hands. I work tonight and I am O.K. with it. I want to take a moment to acknowledge that I take pride in selling to everyone. I always try to keep my salesman chops up. Even when people don't like me I have to stay in practice of selling and going through the emotions and keeping the skills up for selling. 99% of the people say No to whatever you are selling because that is human nature, then it becomes a game of matching up your next move with good tone of voice and reading people. Often I can play the sales game well and still not get sales, but I know in my heart I played it well. Did good on tone of voice, provided examples of how it would help people, used words to paint a picture of what I am selling, it just doesn't always work. I just like talking about it because I have worked forever on handing emotions of rejection and to really study people.
I hope my dad's ankle is getting better. I did my part to try to keep him off of it. My mom seems to be doing well. She sure loves her brothers and sisters. My sister was in wakarusa and she has Red Hair. Jason seems to be doing well. We don't see each other often because we work opposite schedules. He gets up and goes to work and I can hear that. He often makes lots of money in a short amount of time because he is tall, skinny, handsome, and really knows how to work with what he has.
Mondays and Tuesdays I try to keep low expectations on my happiness. Most people are unhappy Mondays and Tuesdays. The only reason people love Wednesdays is because of that Geico Camel commercial.
