Yesterday marked a milestone in my selling abilities.

Usually, we are given a sales goal that is almost always next to impossible. No matter how much you sell you can never get anywhere near that sales mark, whoever comes up with the figures believes in magnanimous figures. However, somehow, yours truly with my somewhat impressionable customer service appeal surpassed that sales goal yesterday. I was supposed to sell $1358 and I sold an outstanding $1500 and change. I didn't realize how incredible those figures were until I got down to jotting it in my little notepad which I use to keep track of my sales. I beat them! Even if it is only this once. I beat them.

I hope it happens again. I hope a pay raise or just some open acknowledgement of my abilities happens. A pay raise, a promotion, an offer of a differnet job that implies some lateral move financially and otherwise, something good basically. Because I can see now that I am good at whatever I put my mind to if only these people would ever fucking give me a freaking chance. I just want something extra ordinary to happen.

Yes, there was an impossible sales goal and I beat it.

In other news, I realized I am paid the least. Even by my companies standards, for a job I seem to be good at, it's not fair. But I guess my luck does stink in other areas besides my lovelife.

I hope everyone I spent Xmas money on enjoys their presents. I didn't enjoy buying it, but that's a whole other story.
