Today is all about your typical day over at Kelly's Korner Show us Your Life...
First and foremost, the term young professional is one I thought you had to be 25 to fall into. I guess I was wrong, at 22 I fit the bill. Scary.
5:45 - The alarm clock goes off, I hit snooze.
6:20 - I finally drag my booty out of bed and get in the shower.
6:20 - 7:30 - I get ready, you know the typical dry the hair, straighten it, put make up on, catch the headlines on the t.v, make my bed, clean up.
7:30 - Leave for work, and get there at about 8.
8:00 - Get into the office tell everyone hello, plug in my laptop and start it up.
8:15 - 8:45 - Check e-mails, finish up anything I left hanging on e-mails or such.
9:00 - 11:00 - Time to make dials, the gritty part of being in sales.
11:00 - 1:30 - Go out into the field, knock on doors, try to make a one time close sale (my favorite)
1:30 - 2:00 - Get back into the office, check the e-mail and catch up with our route guys and try to bribe them with candy or food into some sales leads (the most difficult part of my job)
2:00 - 4:00 - Make some more dials, do paper work, keep up on reports, basically any other task included in my job description.
Really anytime after 4 - Leave the office, and try and stop at a business or two and do some prospecting.
5:00 - 6:00 - Time to go to the gym
6:00 - 7:00 - Make some sort of food to sustain myself
7:00 - 9:00ish - I do all of those things you can't do during the work day, blog, facebook, go to Target, catch up on shows, clean. Basically everything.
9:00 - I like to go lay in bed, and watch a show. Normally this leads to me falling asleep at about 9:45. (I never said my life was exciting.)
Found you from Kelly's Korner! Nice blog!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Have you read the latest entry in Melissa's blog: http://staffordmoments.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteMelissa's father-in-law died yesterday but Melissa couldn't be bothered to travel with her husband Chad to be with his father, even though they knew he was going to die this week.
Worse than not being bothered to see her father-in-law, Melissa has been blogging about going shopping, going to lunch with her girlfriends, going to the gym, etc. rather than being at her husband's side.
Melissa says she can't travel a few hours by car to visit her dying father in law because she is pregnant. What the heck? How can you NOT travel to see your dying father-in-law but you can go to the gym?? go shopping?? and go out to lunch??
Now Melissa says she can't even be bothered to go to the poor man's funeral. Too busy going to the gym, I guess?
How many of you girls out there would not go and visit your father-in-law if you knew he only had a few days left on this earth? How many of you would leave your husband alone to watch his father die? How many of you would rather go shopping and go to the gym than go to your father-in-law's funeral?
I am just astonished at how cold, un-Godly and cruel this woman is. Incredible.
Oh My!! I was reading and thinking of the days when I was single & no kids....very similar to yours- let me tell you girl.....treat yourself to a good pedicure and massage NOW!! While you can. I wish I would have taken the time to do things like that then....when now I WISH I had time to do them now!! If that makes sense?
ReplyDeleteCute Blog!! :)
I found your blog through Kelly's Korner. I've read through several of your post and think we have several things in common. I'm graduating in May, taking a job as a Sales Rep in a town that I know nobody (well, I don't know the town yet but I'm pretty sure it will be one in which I know nobody). Several of your posts made me flash forward to how I'll be living in June. Your positive attitude makes me excited! Can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeletePs. I love that you described coming up with a blog name to coming up with a Facebook album name! Hands down, the hardest things ever!
