A Stressful Day Turned Happy

Twenty five years ago today:

October 15, 1985
Tuesday

It was a stressful day.

First off, Barbara Reynolds came up to me with the fact that I had changed sales codes on one of Jim Padilla’s orders. It’s all B.S. (bullshit) as far as I’m concerned. I would not do that.

And then, when I arrived home I found a Video Concepts invoice in my mailbox for $1700. That bitch, Diane, apparently sent my contract through to pay-in-full without my signing it. What should I do in a case like that? Just let it go, pay it OR be honest and report her and try to get away with a free TV while I'm at it.  Ah hell, honesty is the best policy.   I’ll just pay it all.

Those were two stressful points of my day. It’s just too bad that I laid all of my concentration on the negative when there were some good things that did happen today. I did receive a postcard from Germany from Leonard Perillo. I received a letter from Steffanie. I did my aerobics and had a decent gym workout. I sold four PREMIERE lines, one WATS sale, one RCF and had one PacTel Referral. It was a fairly good sales day overall. There was a lot of good that happened today. I could just as well say it was a good day. I just made it stressful for myself.

I am beginning to hate my current job a bit. I want more. I wonder if Leonard can help build my confidence some more. I wish he’d come back.

I went to mom’s house after the gym for my orange juice craving.   Before I knew it I was home, in bed and asleep.
