i'm escaping! i'm going to be totally free from that greasy, annoying, boring, low IQ place forever!!!!!! i found a new job, one that pays considerably more than arbys. so, i'm going to sell cutlery. yeah. i went in for an interview today, and they liked me so i'm going to go not really door to door, but more door to door on appointment, selling people pretty darn nice knives. i saw some today, their pretty hardcore, and this girl i work with says they have some and they never get dull, which is pretty cool too. so, allow me to list all the perks to this job, 1)base pay of 14.25 per appointment, plus a comission system that can only go up(its a bit complicated so i wont go into it) 2) i decide when i do appointments, so i essentially do my own schedule, and decide how much i make each day. so this means if i want to take a day off while nathans here i dont have to ask two weeks ahead for it off, and i can schedule more presentations during the two weeks hes not here, so i can afford to take some time off when he is here. 3) its not food service, which means no burns, no freezer burns, no cuts, no grease, no going home sticky, no polo shirts and black slacks or visors (praise jesus!), no assholes asking me stupid questions about how much sauce goes on the sandwich, no two hour closing, no cleaning, and best and most wonderful of all... NO VISORS!!!!! did i already say that? have i mentioned how much i want to hunt down the man who invented visors and cut his head off using only the rough side of the velcro as a saw? i hate visors. 4)its something that i've never tried before, but from being raised by my dad and his family i know a few things about salesmanship, not that i'm any kind of pro, but i know some stuff. thats a lot of perks if you ask me, and i'm so totally phyced about it. i wasnt really excited when i got there, it was more of a "whatever if i get it i get it and thats nice kinda" thing, but then he told me that i got the job and i was totally thrilled. knives are pretty cool, and i've always enjoyed them, so being able to tell whats a good knife and whats a bad one seems like another perk (#5), and i just really feel good about this. what say you all, do u think i can sell cutlery to the upper middle class? i hope so, cuz i could make some serious money with this. oh, one last thing, anybody want to buy a knife?
