Guest Post from Puss In Boots

Hello all you wonderful people that have come into my best friend's life!! Since she is gone on the family vacation I have the most fabulous honor of posting on her site while she is gone, I am just thrilled about it! Now I must preface this with the fact that I am not funny like she is, I wish I was, but hell she is funny enough for the both of us! It is 9:30 AM central time on Sunday, so that means they are about 2.5 hours into the trip, wonder if she has exhausted her supply of benadryl yet?? I sooo hope that things are going smoothly for her and that she will be able to enjoy her vacation, I am quite positive though, that NO MATTER what, she will have some hilarious, crazy, whacked out things to tell us all about when she returns! So, since I have the opportunity to talk to all of her bitches and you all give her GREAT advice all the time, I would like to ask you all for some advice/input. Here is the situation, I work in sales like Pissy does, I actually have had the pleasure of working with Pissy at FOUR of the eight different places that I have worked in my lifetime, and let me just tell you, working with her makes work not so much like work and you actually look forward to going every day because at least you have her for entertainment and for NEVERENDING SUPPORT!!! So the last two jobs in which I had to sell people shit weren't too bad b/c at least we were in it together and anytime that some fucking asshole decided to try to ruin my day at least I could grab her and take a little smoke break and things would automatically get better, well ever since I left her I have been working in outside sales and have been completely miserable, I'm sure a lot of my misery has to do with the fact that I don't get to work with her or see her daily or get to go to lunch with her daily or get to go outside for smoke breaks with her several times daily, FORTUNEATELY though I still get to talk to her through email daily and still have her neverending support, cuz let me tell you, if it wasn't for her I don't think I could go on some days, she is my BEST friend in the world and I love her dearly and my life would COMPLETELY suck without her in it, I could go on and on but I will end the sappiness right here and spare y'all, by the way as I said earlier she is the funny one, I am the sappy, emotional one :) So now to my dilemma, I have not done well at this job, I have now worked there for 16 months and out of the 13 months that I have had a quota, I have only sold enough to make my "quota" 3 out of the 13 months, pretty fucking shitty huh? I'm sure you all are probably wondering why in the hell I still have a job, trust me, I wonder that myself ALL THE TIME, the thing about it is, I really feel that I am a good salesperson, I truly believe that I just have the shittiest territory ever and my boss must know deep down that this is true or I think he would have fired me by now, so for the first 3 months that I was in training and for the next 9 months after that I really worked my azz off, I did everything I could to try and make quota, anyway, I don't want to drag this out any longer than needed or bore yall with all the details, but the last few months I have been a LAZY PIECE OF SHIT!! It has made me feel AWFUL, because I have always been a very hard worker, but it's like I just gave up and just didn't care anymore, I was actually to the point that trying to do my job truly depressed me, I can't tell you how many days I have sat around crying for like 2 or 3 hours because I hated it so bad and couldn't bring myself to pick up the phone to call another person or to walk into another place of business! Well, I'm not one to dwell in my own pity for too long without actually getting off my lazy ass and doing something about it, so I have been looking for a new job since December, and in the middle of all of this, my husband and I decided to buy a house so that made my job search even harder b/c in sales a lot of the time most of the money you make is commission, there are some jobs though that pay you a pretty nice base salalry too, well of course my husband is in sales too and in order to get the mortgage both of us need to maintain the same base salary that we currently make so I have been on MANY job interviews and had some offers but until just recently none of them matched up, well FINALLY last Thurday night I got what seems like the perfect job offer, I am just absolutely thrilled by this, now FINALLY to the delimma, they need me to start on Monday, August 8th, if I would've given my notice on Friday that would've only been one week, well the new job of course holds back a week of pay so I really need to get paid up until this Friday August 5th, well in sales MANY times when you put in a two week notice, they tell you not to come back to work those two weeks they want you to leave immediately, mainly b/c they know that you aren't going to be trying to sell anything else b/c #1 you won't get paid for it if you do sell it and of course who the hell really tries to work hard when they are quitting their job??? So, I feel terrible not giving a notice, let me point out that when I worked with Mrs. Pissy at my last job I didn't give a notice and I am still concerned that it will come back to haunt me but now that I think about it, this is the 2nd job that I've been able to secure since leaving there and not giving them a notice...the reason I mentioned my shitty track record at my current job is, will my boss give me a good reference even if I do give a notice b/c obviously I haven't met the goals I was supposed to meet anyway, so do I just act like I am working hard next week and on Friday tell me boss, fuck you dickhead, I got a new job, this is my last fucking day, shove this shitty job up your ass and good fucking riddance??? What do you all think of this?
