I LOVE ALIAS!
Alias last night was fucking amazing! I have no words to describe it. How could they do that? I was so shocked. I can't wait for next season... it's going to be amazing (minus the fact that JGard is going to be with child). If you didn't watch you seriously need to find that episode because the last 5 minutes are intense and so surprising. This is their best season finale yet!!!!!
Now that my Alias rant is over I'll talk about my job. I am an "intern" at a marketing firm in White Plains. What I do every day is basically sales - I sell lower credit card processing rates to small businesses. This job blows, it's comission only with 5 days of unpaid training. You go out to a territory everyday and go business to business and try to sign them up for the lower rates (for example, my first day I went to Pelham in Westchester).It's not a hard job but you have to be a people person (which I'm really not but I'm good at pretending so I seem to have every one fooled at the office). Also, the office is young (average age being 23) so people pretend to be all excited and high energy all the time which really sucks at 8AM. I'm not into the whole pretending to be everyone's friend and playing stupid games and whatever.
Another thing that sucks about this job - the fact that everyone is an idiot. I'm training with one guy who didn't go to college at all, my boss is a 22 year old grad from Marist College. Not that there's anything wrong with getting out there are doing your own thing but when I tell people I went to GW for a year and now have been accepted to NYU I get weird looks. The're like oh NYU's ivy league right... haha. Oh well, I mean it is a good experience for me to see what an amazing education I am getting and how much better off I will be with my degree. Everyone else is a business major but they don't have to take accounting, communications, calculus and other things that are staples to my college(s).
I don't know - i'll prob. like the job more when I start earning money! I earn $100 for every business I sign up, $170 for every machine I sell, and a bunch of other little hidden stuff I can sell like a waranty and whatever. It can be good money, I just want the chance to start making that freking money.
Morale of the story: Go to a good school and get a good education so you never have to work a job like this as entry level.
