I just don't think I'm the type to work in sales
PhilosipherStoned replied to PhilosipherStoned's topic in Free-For-All
You're right though I think I'd have to say no to all of those.. I'm not really an introvert I don;t think, but I have a depressive personality that makes me want to stay to myself a lot.. -

I mean sometimes I do.. When I worked as a cable disconnect guy on a simular basis I sure as hell didn't like to meet new people, but I mean those werent happy customers to begin with. Or even paying customers most of the time. -
I've been gaining wieght I'd just lost back fast since I've been more or less just sitting on my ass for the most part, but I've never been "obese" either. Find some way to burn calories that is also fun, and motivating for you. I know some people are kind of genetically predisposed in the matter, and that sucks.

I would like to see some answers from older/wiser people about this if possible I considered making it a poll for a minute..I need to make up my mind about whether I'm going to commit to this or not soon. It was awkward as F bringing this up to the hiring manager, but I thought it was probably for the best. I'm not even the type that wants insurance.. for most of my life I've considered it more of a racket than anything, but I mean I see the market or need for it I guess. -
At least on a traveling door to door capacity.. Maybe that's what I need to tell her because these people are still trying to get me to join their damn team even though I just tried to back out. I just got off the phone with this hiring manager that ofcourse was like.."just take a little bit more time to think about it you're doing great on the course work, and I'm pretty confident you'll do great in the field blah blah blah." I have an interview at a supermarket tomorrow, and the hiring manager there basically gave me the whole list of positions available. If I accept this sales position I'll have to travel, and be gone 4 days a week working until 10 pm. at least.. Covering my own hotel expenses etc. Decisions, decisions... Ok so here's the question then. Would you rather: A) work a local job that pays a fairly low hourly wage..but guaruntees a paycheck, and that you can be at home daily...or B) work a job where you only get commision pay even though you're pretty much on the job, or in some random area all day for 4 days straight for the POSSIBILITY of making 4-6 figures a week? .

The movie must've not done well in the box office or something. I didn't know about it until I found it online. It's a little cheesy, but altogether it's a good combination of low brow comedy, and action.

Not really, but I was joking when I was acting like I give a fuck what you forward me. Most of the shit I've seen anyway. I'll just close the shit, and report you if you keep it up though..because you disgust me.
-
Hell yeah I do. This shit reminds me of a movie.

You've reached a new low while I've been away I see. This thread isn't even imaginably topical. NO PUN.. intended. >_> Might I suggest a few leeks against the face and a sit on the Judas chair good sir?

I mean is the horse used as a primary means of transportation? That's the only way I could see this maybe being possible, and still.. I'd say there has to be more than one person..or more to the point...horse making it an issue. Still regardless it made for a pretty hilarious thread. Maybe the horse is purposely shitting on your mailbox as a checkpoint.. Unless you've failed to wipe off the original shit, and have been working around it lol.

Prob just smoked the best bud I've ever had.

The joke did seem like a bit of stretch.. at least in text form, but I can see where you're goin' with this statement. -
This may be one for rants if you guys with the remote control want to move it.. I shouldn't have signed up for this is what I'm thinking though. Every time I need a job some insurance company always calls me for an interview so I thought it might be worth looking into.. Though now that I think about it, if the positions like this didn't always have turnover rates out the roof they wouldn't ALWAYS be the first to call me would they? idk.

Man.. I'm really second guessing myself over getting into this.. Selling anything especially door to door like this company wants me doing just sounds lame.. I already have another interview, and the job might only pay minimum wage, but I'd rather have a steady income I can budget off of than depend on something that pays based soley on commisions. This company pays a 45% commission rate which seems crazy... I'm too poor minded to fuck with crap like this though. AND I have to pay like $110+ out of pocket myself just to buy an online course, and pay for "state background checks etc.. I met an older guy thay gave me his card while he was going door to door just doing this.. and according to the hiring manager he made 10,000 in one week doing this.. That guy told me he had no door to door sales experience prior, and was actually high up in the management chain at a fast food restuarant prior to starting..That whole takes money to make money thing is something I get.. I just don't know if I'm in the right position to be trying something like that. Plus this job requires constant travel, and I found out after they had me sign the paperwork I'm going to have to pay my own hotel fees.. I know a lot of companies reinburse you for shit like that, AND I know literally everything I pay for while doing this can be written off my taxes, but still... The risk assessment here seems sketchy to me. I wish I didn't already pay for this fucking online course.. It goes over all legal stipulations involving insurance a lot of which probably isn't common sense.. It still seems like a waste of money to me though.

Seems I've found a beat that helps me overload the tempo with words like tech nine/eminem do a lot, but much respect to both of the writers..especially if they still have no help designing this shit.. Where to start, and where to stop.. When you're trying to vent, and write rap to be at least somewhat structured while being the only MC... The fuck. Also I might be an insurance agent soon, I accepted a job offer from some fucks that havent even required me to leave my house yet, but I've been studying to take an exam that will get me licensed to sell insurance in my state.. Here is the proper meme to describe the process so far... Some second thoughts are happening with that.. so if you have experience in working for an insurer I appreciate your thoughts. I'll just be a contractor/ sales agent.. so, it seems risky. I already paid for the exam fee though.. Only because I hate being unemployed, and having to rely on my street smarts.. something is better than nothing right... I've never worked a job that pays based SOLEY on commissions. I'd like to hear some thoughts from anybody here who's worked a position like this. Especially in insurance.

Because I love you? Because I'm always thinking... OF you?
PhilosipherStoned replied to Zenigundam's topic in Free-For-All
I wish it wasn't honestly.. but what else could it be, stupidity is part of the ladder so I never see the reason why he's constantly taken so lightheartedly. Poes are just as ignorant as the the shit they reflect when they're as persistent as Zenigundam. -
Does cancer freak anyone else out?
PhilosipherStoned replied to That_One_Guy's topic in Free-For-All
I'm not as scared of it as a lot of people tend to be... but that's only because I've met a lot of people that HAVE trucked through it.. in their shoes I'm not sure how I'd fair that being said. -
Yes..quite.. I wish I could say stretches of road like that didn't always make me feel like a nervous pod racer Anakin Skywalker, but I can't.. probably because I'm usually less composed.. Where I'm at now though there's a lot of refurbishing to done, and some roads like that have no visible lines, and loads of people not giving any fucks..

Cheeseburgers or Hamburgers or Other?
PhilosipherStoned replied to zombieninjakitten's topic in Free-For-All
Maybe the cheese IS the key to white power.. like boondocks. Idk I'm pretty sure I always get cheeseburgers when ordering fast food... That cheese though. I swear. Like a swiss cheese burger... You can taste ALL that difference. enough food erotica for me though. It's getting late. Just so you people know I havent even had THC in my system this year yet... Still this shit is givin' me the munchies. -

I only say that because on a burger I often don't even think about it. O_o -

Same I need to take some.. I could probably fish up a bearded contractor pic I had to take for my tech job.. I remember asking the manager since he was like we just need a pic.. Too much military I was like I can have a beard for this license pic. Hells yeah.

Let's call it "net nuetrality" on a micro-level. Not everybody that wishes to remain anonymous has nefarious purposes in mind. The ones that do are often transparent as f anyway.

There's a bunch of MREs sitting outside unguarded
PhilosipherStoned replied to Poof's topic in Free-For-All
Man they feed soldiers that shit in U.S field ops and basics training all the time.. Since soldiers often choose to starve over eating the shit there is a surplus and I've seen them advertised gimmickly in public markets before..
