Today was a shitty day. No that's not quite accurate because it wasn't the day that was shitty. The problem with half of the stuff I want to write down in my head is it sounds crazy. And not just crazy but a typical crazy or a fake crazy. I just get really down sometimes and this is one of those times. My mind goes to all these places. Sometimes even to places that are supposed to be forgiven. I just think about situations and the way they made me feel. About how rejected or humiliated I felt.
I suppose now is as good as time as any to tell you what I do for money. I work for Sprint. But that's a lie. Actually I work for Manpower and Sprint rents me. I go to Walmart, inform the Walmart Connection Center employees of Sprint news, and then setup a table at the front of the store and attempt to sell phones to passing customers. Yeah its a shitty job, but its easy. On top of that there ususally aren't a lot of customers at my table through most of the shift so I get a lot of reading done. The problem is people feel the same about their phone companies as they feel about their political parties. All the phone companies are just about the same. There is very little difference. I have talked to a couple thousand customers at this point, and all the phone companies pull the same shit at different times and different places. All the phone companies have holes in their coverage. All the phone companies will nickel and dime you wherever possible. All the phone companies will have shitty customer service later if they do not now. All the phone companies want to do is guarantee you'll pay them a monthly fee for the next two years.
The thing that really makes my job shitty are the people who walk by and make the disgusted faces at me. The peope who yell "Sprint sucks!" in the parking lots. The people who come up and tell me what a shitty company I work for. Most of the time people get screwed on their bill is because they're not reading the fine print. Or doing something stupid liking throwing their phone in the bed of their truck. And when I say fine print I'm not talking about the pages and pages of contract info, I'm just talking about the simple stuff. Think about where the logical places would be to draw the lines and look for where they would charge something for it.
There is a huge problem with me working a salesperson job. I hate salesmen. I hate salesmen because I hate bullshit. And a salesmen's job is based on bullshitting the customer into buying the product. All the salesmen cares about is getting that customer's money and getting them out the door and preferably not seeing the customer again until they can get more money out of the customer again. So needless to say, my sales tactics are a lot more honest and friendly. I'm not going to sell someone something they don't want. A lot of people won't even talk to salesmen because that's their rep.
Anyway, that's all I got for now.
