hmm
I really don't know how I'll feel about this after next week. I'm trying to hold on to the excitement I felt when I started, and over all the things I know this will afford me.
It's only because I get sad when I'm not good at something right away. (And because I spent an hour on the phone and only got one appointment out of it tonight. Hence, the headache.)
I think once I get rolling with this job, there won't be a question. Right now it's easy to be discouraged because I feel like I don't know everything I need to know and I'm mildly afraid of clients. But I can overcome that. There are ways.
As it stands so far, Joanna's earned me my bonus for the week. Not including what may or may not occur tomorrow, we've generated $150 of business per hour and I've earned $19 per hour. It's amazing. I love these numbers. Example: in the hour total it probably took for her to set our last appointment this afternoon, give the presentation, and close the sale, Joanna made more than I made in a week at the store. Lots more.
I'm going to keep thinking about that apartment. About my home office slash craft studio. About having people over. About taking road trips. About getting my name on the records boards in Albany. About taking road trips on a motorcycle.
