I wish I had musical talent. I wish I could sing. I mean, I like to sing, I'm just not very good at it.
It's a shame, too. If I had any musical ability, there'd be a lot I'd want to do. Like start a band that plays all sorts of wacky music. Or maybe I could write a song.
But it's one more thing that I probably won't do. Maybe I should focus on things that I can do that I don't before I think about things I can't do that I don't.
Shouldn't be up this late. Been really bad at going to bed on time recently. Thankfully I have off tomorrow and am heading to my childhood homestead.
Haven't been back since Christmas and I need to clear some stuff out before they sell the house. It's funny, I thought I'd be sadder than I am that it's being sold. Maybe I don't believe it yet.
In other news, my outlook on work has greatly improved once I found a way to make sales. There's been an insane push to have everyone who is on the phone sell to the customer. According to our evaluation charts, it's the second most important thing they measure us on after repeat calls.
The problem for most people is that they weren't hired as salesmen. They were hired to be tech support. Tech support and sales are certainly two different skill sets. Put that together with the other separate skill of customer service and you are asking for a lot from people.
The good news is that my experience being with the company before has kicked in and I'm selling very well now. I continue, though, to look for better positions in the company to move to.
The picture in this post is one of Louisa's favorite things from the last few days. It's from the icanhascheezburger.com people's new website ihasahotdog.com. I dare you not to smile.
