Crappy cars, easy money and a good ending...
My car died yesterday. Yep, I was driving to work and it just died. It had been making noises for several days (probably an indicator that it was crapping out) and yesterday it died. So, I don't have a car for the time being and with my luck, fixing my car will probably end up costing me an arm, a leg and my soul. :-( Oh well. I'll have to take it to the mechanic soon and see what he says.
So instead of driving myself to work as usual, my sister dropped me off. I was 3 hours late and covering a shift at another store. Luckily, all the girls were really nice. I always feel funny working at another location. Anyway, yesterday I made 50 bucks in commission in 5 hours. I couldn't believe it! Actually, I CAN. This store happens to be in a ritzy area so people swipe credit cards with their eyes closed. I didn't even need to TRY and sell to anyone. All I did was smile and ask, "Would you like a flat iron?" and the customers went for it! I was so bitter. Our store has such a hard time selling commission items. I honestly think we're at a huge disadvantage. I really think our commission rate needs to be a little higher to make up for the huge gap. It just doesn't seem fair to me. Oh well. It was nice for a day. I should cover shifts more often. :-)
After work, my sister and her fiance took me to see ROCKY BALBOA! It was great! :-D It really exceeded my expectations. I probably cried a total of 6 times. LOL. I dunno. It was just touching. It was a good ending for a great underdog story. :-D Eye of the tiger, baby! Eye of the tiger!
