Just say yes

The trouble with working in sales is, I don't always take no for an answer.

Following my rather brain stabbingly boring day yesterday, I spent a few minutes looking for jobs this morning. I hate recruitment consultants, particularly those who work in media sales, as they tend to be ex media sales peeps. As a result, they are constantly trying to sell you into jobs you don't want!

End of the day they have a vacancy to fill, just like one might have 1 full page left to sell - so they treat the candidate like a piece of paper and try to sell/ slot them right in that last space.

I was chatting to one the other day and I clearly told him I had no interest what so ever to work in £$%", so he obviously asked "why not". I reluctantly told him, knowing he was only asking me so he can get round those reasons and turn them into yes' - it's the oldest bluddy trick!

He proceeded to rattle on for about 10 minutes trying to turn those "no's" into "yes'" whilst I stood there thinking *god you are such a DIPADA!*

So he finished his plebian speech and left me screaming in my head *god please i hope i don't sound like that!*

Anyhoo, he asks me what I then thought as he now felt he successfully turned my no's into yes'. So I was honest and said, ok it sounds more interesting but I would like to work in a different sector. He then petulantly responded "well that's just not going to work and you won't have any luck".

What a knob! I told him initially I was not interested and then when I tell him I was he goes and says it won't happen! I'm better off doing this on my own.

So, today I wrote to a company I really want to work for - actually I think it's about the 5th time I have written to them. They already said no about 2 months ago, but being perpetually bored, I am writing to the person senior to the last one today. Writing to this company for a job has almost become a past time of mine, so much so, I may even add it to my CV under "interests" next time round!

Bored

Bored = the state of being weary and restless through lack of interest.

I am bored at work. Images of banging head on desk and picking nose seems far more interesting today! Snoozed alarm for 30 minutes this morning as a result am only half dressed for work with hair resembling the appearance of having stuck it in a tumble dryer, make-up smeared on with a slingshot. Fortunately the unhalf dressed bit is hidden under my desk. Fortunately I do not have a date tonight. Fortunately boss is still on vacation so i can sit here and bang my head on desk and pick my nose.

This boredom appears to be reoccurring. It happened frequently in previous jobs until juicy challenges came my way. This weekend shall have a brainstorming scheming session with best friend to start my own Empire! (dun dun daaaaahhhHHHH! oh yes, Regina takes on the world!)

Narrowing it down, I can say that the following things about my job really bore me senseless:
9-6pm thing - it's so ol' school.

1 hour lunches - again, so old school.

Working 5 days a week - so so old school! I can be more productive in 4 days than most of my colleagues are in 5 days.

Smart dress when one only sits ones desk all day - just unecessary

Male boss with PMS who leave threatening voicemails - unecessary and next time i shall be telling him where to go!

Small minded nosey colleagues who are more concerned with what everyone else does, rather than doing their job - i sooOOooo would have sacked him if it was my business as he is useless! I do more work than him on a non-productive day than the most productive day he's ever had!

Monotonous monotony of the job can sometimes kill braincells on a daily basis if there is not enough creativity involved.

In essence, I do love my job, the challenge it brings, the fabulous people i meet and building relationships with people. But for some reason I just get bored working on the same thing for more than 6 months! It used to be 1 year, but now that it has decreased to 6 months, me thinks it's time to do something about it!

Karma baby

I pity the people who do me wrong
For the wrath of karma hits them strong.
No stone is ever left unturned
It gets them & ensures the lesson is learned.

I do nothing, it all happens when my back is turned
I free my soul, let it go, do my thang
And leave the rest to what nature brings.

The most scheming mind can never conjure
What they will endure for making me suffer.
I pity the people who do me wrong
For the wrath of karma hits them strong.
