FOURTH OF JULY

Fourth of July weekend is here! For my parents, that means a vacation to Branson. For my sister that means she is having a visitor from out of state and she is taking time off. For my friends that means a trip to the lake in Missouri. And for me that means working. A LOT!

I love talking to people and helping them find the perfect mattress, don't get me wrong, but I want to enjoy this time too! Celebrating our independance has become a commercialized holiday that forces retailers to outdo each other with large sales and bummed out employees! So for those of you who get to enjoy your freedom...take advantage of it! And be kind to those of us who have to help you; no putting your hands up in our faces!

WOW!

I'm back again! Wow I have been way too busy, no post since OCTOBER!!! Ok well here's the news...I'm going back to school! I am enrolled at Rasmussen College for Business, Marketing and Sales! I have orientation on May 3rd and start on May 9th! For the last few years I have been trying to tell myself that i have management experience, which automatically gives me office experience since as a manager I had office work to do, and so I would be easily able to get a job in anything! Well I'm still in sales, and I love my job! But I need to think of the future and moving up! I can't be working weekends and nights forever! So I am working full time, going to school full time, and still making time (hopefully) for friends and family... So the question is now going to be... with the job market being so bleak, will it be any better at all with a degree!? You see all these people with big important jobs being let go, and not being able to find anything else! The constant worries of someone unsettled. I guess we will just have to see how things go!
