Good News/Bad News

[jetpack_monkey]

Good news: They hired me. On the spot. They said I had the personality and the attitude of a winner.

Bad news: Worst possible job I could work. Ever. Entirely based on commission, working in an industry I couldn't give a whit about, and just... it gives me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, the whole thing.

Plus, the training pay is Per Transaction... I can't live like that. So, I'm turning them down. I appreciate the ego boost, but this isn't the job for me.

Damn.

In my opinion, you made the right call. If your instincts were screaming at you that much, then you don't want to be there. It's just not worth it.

Plus, a sales job that is only commission per transaction is almost always a bad way to go if you're starting at the bottom floor.

Good evening!

> Huh. This post broke my friends list. Weird.

hmm, that is unusual. I myself, a little bit ago, noticed that a poll I had embedded into my entry (, for that particular day) I guess didn't gel well, in a particular form that I had it, with LJ's free-user layout ;) . Both my website and your friend's page should be good, now - my apologies if it did anything crazy (or, alternately, "wonky", if we will. or even : "willy wonka-y". "Why are there 7 Oompa-loompas in my 'comments' section?")
If you like, a standard poll, in a regular, thin column, 'normal button' mode can be embedded into a basic LJ entry - a neat thing to have if one wants to use it. Normally, if only for the aforementioned display purposes, LJ does not allow polls in the free-user entries. I was glad to find a website in which (, mostly) it was readable. It is : sparklit.com. A free registration is required.

Okay. Take care! I hope your friends page is back to normalcy :>

I would've turned that down, too. You did the right thing, man.
