Short post OR The Taming of my Shrew

Two major changes at work today… First, the new salespeople that were hired on from Customer Service moved their desks this morning, meaning I have to be extra careful when playing on the computer during calls. You’d be surprised how much more effective a salesperson I am when I let my mind wander, and just let these buyers talk. They tip their cards quite quickly, if one lets them. Secondly, we’ve shifted what used to be the start-of-day meeting to 11 AM, so my schedule went all topsy-turvey, what with the information I’m used to having first thing disappearing. Therefore, today has something of a hazy quality, and I keep hearing a cartoon-ish voice in the back of my head, saying “Think but this, and all is mended…” Sadly, I do manage to slumber here quite alot, lately, as we’ve gone from having a set number of hours per week distributed as you like, to a strict 8-5 schedule with a mandatory lunch break. One hour isn’t really enough to drive home and back during rush hour, so I’m either using the tiny, pathetic employee gym, or sleeping in the “recovery room” with the alarm set on my phone. Given my early roust to deal with clearing off the car after ANOTHER five inches of snow, three guesses which it’ll be today? Have a good one, and try yesterday’s recipes… I promise you won’t be disappointed.
