I'm sorry you had such a bad day Janet, but I'm glad you got your frustrations out and feel better.
The "salesgirl" just will not let up. I wrote her a very nice message today saying it's just not for me, I am just not comfortable with it, but thanks for thinking of me and I hope she does really well. I got back a 4 paragraph reply
about how she knows exactly how I feel and she felt the same way before she started but then she started and it changed her life! I opened up to her when we went out that night, and she used everything I said to promote her company. I don't want to stay at my job... well I could supplement it with this income and not have to! I want a career where I help people and make a difference... it's what they do every day in her company! (But really? By selling overpriced cosmetics and skin care items?) And on and on and on... I just feel stupid because I thought she wanted to be my friend but really she just wants to make money off me. She told me, again, she wants me to go to the conference with her on Saturday so at least I'm giving it a fair chance, for both of our sakes. Oh and, "I really want to take you to the top of the company with me!" Pffffft.... I can't just blow her off because I can't avoid her forever, so I need to write another nice reply saying I'm not interested. This is so flipping awkward!
