So, I ate a small bit of humble pie regarding my rival rep. I was a bit more "out there" sales wise, so he couldn't find a way to sneak in and do any poaching. What happened next felt like a blatant hostile takeover. I needed his help to get a phone out of a case and ready to sell. He did that and immediately took my customer and phone to his workstation and started typing info in. Wouldn't answer me while "making the sale." I surreptitiously called my boss, who clarified that what was happening was mutually beneficial. Basically, allowing him to process phones through his workstation doesn't affect my commission and let's him net a bit for himself. Fair play, but why didn't ANYONE take the time to explain before I got really annoyed and almost angry?!?! Mysteries of the universe. I gave credit where credit was due and made an apology and a peace offering. He seemed good after out heart to heart.

On a positive note, I'm fairly certain I was first place in sales for the day before I left! I have feelers out with the Walmart managers about doing extra things in their stores (tables, intercom announcements, social media). I just wish they would staff people. I'm having to do crowd control to get people to the Walmart associates quicker so they can take care of them faster and eventually get to my customers and get products for them. I had to do something similar when I was a Walmart associate. It stressed me out then and it still stresses me out now, even with my Abilify before my shift.

So, good sales, but no communication. At all.

Had a bit of a de-stress after work and saw "Bullet Train." It was exactly what I needed. A fun, witty, little over the top action flick to sit back, turn your brain off and enjoy!

My mom is coming to town tomorrow, so I will be attending Sunday services. Number one, to visit with her and number two, to set a time to sit and visit with the pastor there. Even with our religious disagreements, he still has a "citizen of the world" mentality that I respect. If he going to another country to evangelize, he's there as a guest of the local preachers. If he's doing missions, he's got skilled workers who can offer tangible assistance. Again, religious differences aside, I can appreciate that mentality when it comes to being out there in the world.

An OK day today, with two days off coming up! I'll take that!
