the art of selling

yesterday at work, our sales were sucking. it was brutal. but by the time we closed we were almost at stretch. i was feeling soooo bad about our sales, it was crazy. but you know how when one thing is crap, then everything feels really crap, and it just builds... well, that's what was going on with me. today, we were doing alright. then, for the last hour, i was left alone. and a woman came in and bought over $600 of jewelry. it was awesome. yahoo! she was decent to shop with too, so that was nice.

today i had breakkie in the coq. and i've learned my lesson. do NOT let ian choose the restaurant if he's recently heard an ad for denny's. seriously, we were in the restaurant for a number of minutes, and i hadn't clued in that we were at denny's until i saw the back of a waiter's shirt. i was like: i thought we were at white spot! my toast (like usual) was waaaay too buttered! you'd think that if you order a veggie omlet and multigrain toast, they'd go easy on the butter. but they don't. i had to sop it up with my napkin. then i worked, and bought cute skechers (they're black mary janes with pink insides). i hope they're comfy, cause i want to wear them at work. i just have to figure out what kind of socks i can wear with them. it's my second pair of shoes in a week.

i also had another triple berry smoothie today. they are my crack. and after sushi with gord, vera and ian, i had crac (caramel apple cider). i really only ate one yam roll, and a couple pieces of vegetable roll, but it tasted a bit weird. which TOTALLY sucks, cause i really like that place for sushi. maybe it's because we were there so close to closing. in any case. i was NOT impressed. when we got back to my place after a million detours (all mine, it's true) i made banana muffins. yay!
