If you have trouble closing a door behind you.................









think twice.  I did over 20 years in sales.  You will have no home life, no social life, no family life, no **** life.  On call for customers and stupidvisors 24/7.  Just my experience.  YMMV

Wasn't trying to piss down your back and tell you its raining.  Sales is a hard way to make a living.

Ask for the sale at every showing.  Be honest, truthful,  and upfront with every potential buyer/seller.  Don't let your mouth write checks your ass can't cash.

Other than that, Dude, you got skillz in a great field.  Don't let some ass clown pencil neck geek turn you to the dark side.

I wish you well in whatever you choose to do.  I will offer mojo and assistance in any way possible.

LOL  1060 W. Addison surrenders.

Sorry, I did miss it.  :-[ 

Around here, they've been calling the Dome 34 Kirby Puckett Place for years.  Well, ever since he died I guess.

Whenever they talk Twins, they say that, whenever they talk about teh Queens, they never say the Dome, they say Winter Park.

 I forgot the actual address.

Surprisingly yes.  It's eerie.  Because it's an exact duplicate of the continuing ed. sessions I had to endure, abhorred, went and drink beer at lunch on, and then slept through.  Those were a combination of 'this feels like being at work, only worse' and 'I could teach this class.  And way better than this ass clown'.

But this is an interesting mix of 'wow this is fascinating' and 'man, I have no *fudge*in' clue what he's talking about'.

It's managed to keep my attention pretty well.

Passed the test(s) yesterday!   :)

It's kind of a weird set up.  To be licensed you must complete a 90 hour course.  It's broken into course 1, 2, and 3.  You take course 1 and then go take the test (which is actually 2 tests, one general or national and one state specific) after passing the tests, you return for course 2 and three and then activate your license with the state.  My only guess for the reason they do it that way, is for the people who do one week and fail the test miserably multiple times and then say *fudge* this I ain't goin' back.

Anyhoo.....I'm told the fail rate for both exams is around 72 percent.  People generally fail the state specific portion.

I smoked both of them.   [sm_headbang] [sm_thankyou]
