So the new job is going fairly well. I am #3 in the store...passing up salesmen with years of experience.
But it's still not making me the money I was hoping it would. I've slowly come to the realization that the 10K I hoped I might be able to make every month in this business is very hard to get.
I like it though. I like interacting with people...but I have to actually discipline myself to take my days off and only put in 8 hour days. I logged 270 some hours last month. w-o-r-k-aholic.
Actually had someone try to steal me away to sell mortgages. I've been courting the vice president to THX sound and trying to sell him a 300C and he and his wife gave me quite the compliment and said I'd probably be snatched up by Mercedes before they'd get the chance to buy. I wish that were the case.
on another note....About a year ago I had one of my first experiences with unwelcomed sexual harassment when I worked with this Argentienian girl at Tower records. There...my solution was to quit and get away from it. I hated that job anyway.
Now I'm in the same situation. I have some young receptionist sayin the most inappropriate things to me...and I just know I'm gonna have to tell her to quit.
She got me a nice little gift for my bday and that was very sweet...but she's really just turning me completely off. Like today when she said "hey...I got an idea. Lets go Fuck."
Yeah...let's not.
Maybe I should start recording this shit and make myself some real money.
Damn it...if I were only that manipulative.

I was also courted by a customer to go to Toyota to be a Human Resource Rep. Turned him down, he was a creepy customer anyway, sent me leads though and will continue to be a good "bird-dog" as they say. This is a slow time for us, things will get better, the Auto show is picking things up a bit and when it comes around your way things might get better but whoever said you would be making 10K a month LIED!
I saw those ads in the paper and dismissed them horseshit. Seems like all those jobs would be filled if they were really paying that much ya know? The training I knew would be of value though and allow you to get a foot in the door, but they couldn't promise me a job where I wanted to work.
This work enviroment seems to be riddled with sex, being the only woman, I take it in stride and tend to be treated as more a daughter than a dame. I still hear the jokes, "Bring your wife in and we'll dicker" and such but if I had such blantent harrasment I'd not put up with it for a second. I can take quite a bit and know when people are joking, but something makes me think that maybe this girl you speak of has been on the other end of things. Maybe she thinks it is acceptable because she has been subjected to harrasment herself and it has made her numb. I'd let her know that that you would in no way ever treat another being like that and that it is disrespectful and slimy coming from either sex. Use other people as an example and basically shame her into looking as her own behaviour. OR, it could be hard wired into her and it IS her personality, in that case, tell her next time she requests such an act , " Sounds good, you go over there and I'll be right in, oh, but you know what? I happen to like my women with a little more spark and class so you can just fuck yourself. "
