It's hard for me to get over being paranoid about being undermined in my job... when I'm actually being undermined in my job. I had a new rep from the competition come by the store, presumably for a one-off. She's nice, personable and a bit self-deprecating. However, I caught her on two separate occasions trying to sell customers on her phone service AFTER I had all but completed the sale. Since my company doesn't allow me use of Walmart registers, I have to rely on her (among others) to complete the sale, and she took full advantage of her captive audience to make her pitch and potentially undo any sales I make.

I didn't show it, but I was incensed by what she was doing. However, I don't really want to press the issue much more than I did (a "heart to heart" once I calmed down) as she's basically filling in for a day as far as I understand. Out of sight, out of mind, right?

My Primary Doc got back to me on the nerve pain. He prescribed me tramadol which I have mixed feelings about. On the one hand, if it keeps the pain at bay when I lay down, I'll be thrilled. On the other hand, I'm leery of opiates as I've seen how they've affected friends and family.
Possible trigger:


I think a movie this weekend is in order! Question is: What movie?
