The Online Home of Valli Hilaire
Today was an interesting day. For the past couple of days I’ve been getting signs and remember the feelings that say that I should feel totally proud of where I’m at in my “career”. I’m making great money for my age, and more importantly, for someone who doesn’t have a college degree.
But today it was really shown to me how damn smart/lucky I am to be in the position that I am (not job position, but in general). For example. Today gibler made it known (not by telling me directly) that she had to get a part time waitressing (server) job in order to makes ends meet because she hasn’t been reaching her sales goals which means she hasn’t been getting extra money other than her base pay. She had to pay for her groceries with her credit card (why do I know details like that? I shouldn’t, but she’s told at least THREE people that today, so it gets stuck in my head,ugh) this weekend.
So that was the first thing that made me go.. “hehehehehe” And then the second happened at an interview I had today. It was at a private school in Danville for an administrative job. Anyway, turned out my required salary range was out of their range, but it seemed as though the woman liked me and my qualifications, but couldn’t raise their range up to meet mine. Anyway at one point though she said that she thought that the range they came up with was competitive but that I should definitely be pretty proud of what I’ve acomplished and the salary I make now. That was pretty cool.
I’ve always been happy about the fact that I’ve gotten this far it’s just that I’m always thinking about the future and what I need to have/do in order to obtain the thing I really want. So I’m grateful and happy that I have what I have.
So back to Gibler. I don’t get why she’s in sales at all. I don’t get why she doesn’t just find a completely different job if selling online is so hard? I can’t wrap my head around sales people, I’ll never understand why anyone would wanna do that. If I were to ever be on James Liptons show “Inside The Actors Studio” and he asked that Bernard Pivot question “what profession would not want to participate?” I would say “SALES”…
In other news.. Okay.. so I bought DETAILS magazine like I always do, and the latest one is the one with Kevin Federline, Britney Spears’ husband, on the cover. I will admit I wanted to read the interview. I wanted to have my long held suspicions/beliefs to be either confirmed or washed away. It was a HUGE confirmation if there ever was one. I seriously thought that Details had like made the interview up, I was saying to myself outloud.. “He didn’t say that!” I couldn’t believe it.. I can’t give you a synopsis, you gotta read it for yourself. So one of these days I’m going to scan that article and post it, ’cause it’s the funniest thing I have ever read in my life. If Brad and Jen couldn’t keep it together, Britney and this dude have NO HOPE AT ALL.
And I’m not saying all of this because I don’t like her, I still don’t like her, but I’ve been wary of a lot of people’s marriages.. like Leann Rimes and her husband they got married when she was like 20 or 21 or something, I thought that was kinda young, but I’ve got my fingers crossed for them. They seem genuine and I just like her, so I hope it works. Which is not to say that I wish ill will towards anyone in their marriages, but everybody has their opinions/thoughts on everybody’s marriage, so whatever.
I’m so cold right now, this damn office is freezing. I’m out of here.
