So an easy way to get to know someone would be to look in their wallet, right?. It is something that we always have on us and that we would feel completely naked without. Why would we feel completely naked? Because it holds allot in it that we need to function on a day to day basis. Take, for example, your identification. Without your id you would not be able to buy alcohol or cigarettes, if you drank or smoked. If you got pulled over your car would be impounded and you would go to jail, or at the very least get a hefty ticket.
My id says that I am an organ donor from Washington state. So being an organ donor would imply that I care to help others (really I just want at least some part of me to keep living for as long as possible). My id says that I am 28 and the picture allows me to look like the handsome devil that I am. It is also still in very good condition which would show that I don't lock my keys in the house very often.
Along with a person's id, they keep all sorts of other information such as their credit cards and social security cards. These would be very harmful in the wrong person's hands so when a wallet goes missing it is a really scary time. In my wallet you would find my social security card as well as three credit cards. One platinum, one regular, and one Best Buy card. Having a best buy card, one would be able to rightfully assume that I buy allot of gadgets, boy do I.
I am in sales and therefore part of my job includes meeting new people. So in my wallet you would find a multitude of business cards from people ranging from local coffee shop owners to one of our state senators. If someone didn't know who I was they may think that I am really connected to my local community. I really don't do anything productive within my local community other than sell them phones. Also included within the 30 plus business cards I have is a business card for every cell phone manufacturer representative in the country, all right next to each other. One could probably tell what I do for a living from that as well as realize that I am slightly obsessive compulsive do to the fact that the business cards are organized along with everything else.
I don't even know how many frequent buyers cards I have, but it's allot. Someone might think I eat out allot from all of those. I don't however eat out more than a few times a month though, I just figure if I am going to eat somewhere again maybe someday I will have ate there enough to earn my free meal.
Another big thing that people carry around in their wallet are pictures of their life. Similar to how Casimiro had pictures of his sister and brother, I have pictures of my children in my wallet so right off the bat someone would know I have a family. Now I don't carry around as many as some people I know. I only have a few because I normally have my Pocket PC on me at all times that has the rest.
Of course I also carry my car insurance card in my wallet. Man I tell you those things are so easy to scan on a computer and photo shop the expiration date ;) I swear I only did that once though. I have my voters registration card, lotto tickets, my low voltage electrician apprenticeship card, I don't have any pawn tickets, and I have a bottle opener that is a flat piece of metal with a hole in it to grab the bottle cap. Believe it or not I have accidentally put that through the x-ray machines at the airports many times and not had anyone stop me. All I would have to do is sharpen the edges and it would make a great knife.
Out of all these things a person should know me pretty well, right? I would say they barely scratched the surface of who I am. I enjoy cuddling up next to my wife when we sleep. I enjoy playing video games with my kids. I enjoy going on nature walks. I enjoy going to my grandmother's house and spending time with my uncle and her. I am a very complicated individual and I have many different sides to me that only the closest people around me know about or even have a clue about. Although my wallet does share some intimate details about me, most of the details could easily be taken out of context or misinterpreted altogether.

my coworkers having fun at work

I told you all I was serious.
Today I went into work like normal. I opened the store in the allotted time and sold a few phones. Everything was going fine, I was feeling a little better actually. I sold a few phones the day before and was starting to make a little bit of ground towards hopefully keeping my job.
Then around twelve thirty my store manager came into the store with another gentleman I had never seen before. My manager had said he was doing some training in the Everett store for some new hires on Monday so I figured that maybe it was one of the new hires trying to get a head start and get as much tutelage as possible before they start their shift next week.
I was wrong. He apparently was hired for our store. Now this is very unusual because we have almost everyone that works in our company wanting to work in our store because we are the number one store in the company. Usually our store is saved for people that have earned it and here this guy just gets put in without any previous sales training or experience with our company.
Now the problem doesn't stop there. The problem is that there aren't enough sales or customers in our store to justify a new sales person unless they are getting rid of one of us. I think I drew the short straw on this due to the fact that I have missed quota quite a few months this last year. Keep in mind my quota is what some stores have as a whole and the economy is not exactly flourishing at the moment. I called my manager out and asked him how long it was going to be before they let go of the person he was hired to replace. He tried to respond that since he was just promoted to store manager that the store would be needing to hire another sales person because it was a four person sales teem and he was a manager now and didn't count. What I don't appreciate is how stupid he seems to think I am. It is not a four "salesperson" teem, it is a four "person" teem. Before I arrived there were four people. There has always been four people, even when they had a manager before including him there were only four. So I think I was able to meet my replacement.
After I found out he was hired for our store I nearly through-up. I still a, feeling a little queasy thinking about it. I mean, I have two kids and a wife to support. What the heck am I going to do. I can't let them down. Especially with Christmas and their birthdays just around the corner and the global economy about to implode in on itself. For the first time in a long while, I am very scared. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was rather interesting. While I was in the middle of my math class my phone started vibrating. I knew I wasn't supposed to answer it so I ignored it. It vibrated again, and then again. I looked down to see who it was, and saw that it was my district manager. Then, right afterword, my store manager started calling! I had never had both of them blowing up my phone unless something was really wrong. Of course I had no idea what was going on so I started to think of all the things that might be wrong. "Did I do something wrong when I was closing" I thought to myself, "Do they want to tell me not to bother coming into work because I am fired for doing so horrible in sales this month?".
As class proceeded they kept calling and my mind kept getting stimulated with ideas of horrible things. Finally the teacher let everyone out after what seemed like a million years. Right after I stood up my phone started vibrating again. By now I had basically convinced myself that I was certainly in some kind of trouble. I nervously answered it, "Hello?". It was my district manager, apparently the person that was supposed to open his Everett Mall store decided he didn't want to come into work today so the store was never opened and they needed someone to cover because everyone other than me was either at their stores opening them or at a meeting in Tuckwilla. I told him no problem and rushed out of class to go to the mall.
I hate the mall. It's not that it is a horrible mall for store selection anymore, it's just that I used to work there for like two years and couldn't stand being "one of those guys that yells at everyone to come buy a phone" anymore. I finally earned my way into a store in the middle of nowhere that has no other stores selling the same product for at least a 30 minute drive away. In the mall, I have 6 other places in a five to 10 minute distance from my store that sell at&t. to say the least the market is OVER saturated. That means if I don't close a sale by the time they walk just a few feet away there is someone else offering them the same phone. NIGHTMARE!
Anyway, I got to the store and in a eight hour shift sold one car charger. I am so getting fired at the end of this month. Anybody know where I could get a job that I don't have to worry about quotas? Seriously!
