Hungry Cougars
Today I recieved an email today from a Mr. (or Mrs.?) Hungry Cougars. It was an invitation to a porn website; these porn website operators are just so thoughful. I mean, personal invitations and everything!
The job thing is taxing. I was so ready to switch into the office here and be done with the sales floor on Thursday. Unfortunately, Steve (the owner) had NOT talked to Jim (the office manager) as he had said he would do. I think that he was hoping/expecting I would change my mind about the whole thing. Anyway, I went to talk to Jim on Friday and he told me that he would love to have me in his office, but he can't guarantee me anything and in any case needs a few weeks to finish a restructure to see if he can make a place for me. Now, Anthony (sales manager) is all, "I'm going to miss you on the floor," and, "You'll work evenings and weekends to add a little bonus to your paycheck, right?" Right, because what I need is to retain the crappy parts of this job while increasing my stress levels by working two jobs at who knows how many hours per week. These guys like selling cars and have seen a lot of success doing it, so I don't think they can understand me not wanting to do it, too.
Outside of work, I have been spending a lot of time with Reza. We are having a lot of fun together. Last night we went to eat with an Iranian family here in Boulder. The food was awesome, everyone was really nice, and we played foosball and ping pong. I had a lot of fun, but I would have had a better time if I could speak Farsi. I'm going to try and find a teach yourself Farsi CD to listen to on my commute. I should be able to pick some stuff up that way. Plus I have an agreement with Reza. He is going to teach me Farsi and I'm going to help him work on his English.
Another thing I am trying to figure out is traveling. I would like to come home for a couple things: to see everyone and to defend my title of Pedro Champion. I would also like to take Reza up on his invitation to come see him run the NY Marathon in early November. If only that money tree of mine would start producing I wouldn't have to worry about missing work.
