Last week went by so fast!! I sold my first DSL internet sale on Saturday. I was so nervous, the training we got was pretty crappy. I actually sold to someone who said that they weren't interested in any services until the DSL was in their area (they had checked 2 weeks prior and it wasn't). I checked and called them back. When I asked for the guy and made my introduction the guy said "yes, this is he, we just spoke 5 minutes ago, what is this about?". It was kinda funny. I spoke to my supervisor and he said that it was fine for me to take my Saturday off. Instead of working the two after September 2nd I worked yesterday and I'm going to work this Saturday. So I'll have two Saturdays off. I think it will be easier to work two in a row before school starts than right when it does. I'm getting kind of excited about starting school, but I'm not sure if it starts on Sept 6th (Wed) or Sept 7th (Thurs), if anyone knows let me know. I have some classes that sound pretty interesting. I've been working extra all week long, so I think this pay will still be pretty good (even though we didn't work N.B day). Which reminds me....I have to get my supervisor to get them to stop taxing me, I filled out an E tax form and for some strange reason, they are still taxing me. I think it is because the girl that handles this stuff is pretty slack (so I've heard). She wouldn't give me the tax form, she insisted that my supervisor had to be the one to get it for me. Sam brought me home a rose yesterday. It was very sweet of him. It rained all day in Fredericton yesterday. My first day off after countless days of pleasant weather and then it poured!! Stupid weather!! It's still raining today too. I got a drive home on Saturday from a supervisor who drives alot of people home. I came outside and asked the girl I usually walk home with if she was walking, she wasn't, so I asked the other girl I share a cab with occasionally if she would mind splitting a cab (I would take it to her house and walk to mine). She agreed, but Jackie (another girl that I work with) told us that she gets a drive with a supervisor and she would have room for us as well. So we got a ride home!! Woohoo! I didn't get home any earlier than when I walk, but I was able to go to Victory meats and get some stuff (they have awesome prices) and be in an air conditioned van. It was so hot and muggy on Friday, it hurt to breathe, so I don't think I would have made it! It's raining, so I'm going to see if I can get a lift home again. The supervisor lives in Marysville, so she has to drive up the hill and lets people get lifts up the hill with her. Anyway I'm going to go get a coffee....write later....

Good jorb! I don't know if I could do outbound selling!

Neither did I. But we are calling existing customers, and usually offering them phone packages that would benefit them. They're not "cold calls". My trainer called them "warm calls". hehe :)

Mom had mentioned some sort of girls night the next time you are home. Do you know when that is? I've already forgotten.

I'm coming to SJ on Friday September 1st after work. The girls night will probably be on Saturday, September 2nd. :)

Cool. I'll mark it on my calendar so I don't forget. Keep me posted! :)
