Strange happenings

So, this was a weird weekend. For one, I received some books in the mail. I opened them up, and I was suprised to find that I didn’t order them. I contacted the company, and I don’t know the person that sent them, but they were addressed to me.

I found out a few months ago, that I am pretty good at sales, though I hate it. I’ve been one of the top in the nation 2 out of the 3 months I’ve been doing it full time (I didn’t work much in October). I made a little over $700 yesterday. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I made several hundred too. I probably made close to $2,000 in those four days (which is good since I have a plane flight and a $2,000 course to pay for in a couple of weeks). Anyway, I went into a daze for like 20 minutes on Saturday, and when I snapped out of it, I had sold like $4,000.

I can’t imagine doing sales full-time. It’s exhausting because it’s sooo boring. I mean, I am sure it’s entertaining for some, and I really enjoy it when it’s busy. But I am not really the type of person to stand around doing nothing. If I’m not working one job, I’m working another. If I’m not working, I’m learning. If I’m not learning, I have to go out to walk in the mall with Rachel, go out to eat, watch a movie, or play a game. Even when I’m being passive, I put my whole self into it. (No way I’ll ever be passive halfway lol.)

Update: Reading what I just wrote above reminded me of when my pastor asked Rachel being okay with me being a workaholic back in pre-marital counseling. *sigh* Good thing I’m forced to vacation like half of the year :-D

These days, I’m all about being productive and being productive efficiently. Even now, I’m blogging because it’s giving me the false sense of not wasting time (ironic, huh?) I can’t wait til a long vacation knocks that out of me.
