No real pains in my ass today. Everyone that crossed my path responded with a smile when greeted with the same. The only frustrations were trying to see people that didn’t wish to be bothered. I have been on both sides of this fence but it doesn’t make the cold call with no results any easier to swallow. I am the king of “shining on” the typical salesman because they just try too dam hard. On the other hand, I am one sneaky bastard, and by the time you figure out where the big friendly guy has taken you we’ve arrived. Luckily, I’m not selling smoke and mirrors; I’m peddling something I can deliver and that ladies and gentleman is service. See I had you but unless I start feeling a little more rested its going to get harder to keep up the fake smiles. The other great thing is that last week the computer in my office crapped out leaving me wondering how many things I have started that I cant remember or recreate. I know I have four or five half-written articles for the company newsletter along with a dozen memo bits. I really need to take my own backup advice but do as I say not as I do. Maybe its time for me to take an actual computer class and stop my learning as I go. I need some hardcore networking skills and a sidecar of windows NT. I’m waiting for the people in the dark suits to come knock on the door because I sent Bill Gates another resume with position desired filled in as LACKEY. Is it wrong to worship one of the richest men on the planet even if he bares a striking resemblance to Janet Reno? I don’t think so. 12:00:00 AM    says you
