dress clothes and impulses and interviews

So i have an interview with shaw this evening. However it's for a sales job and i really really don't want the job, mostly cause you're on the road a lot and i just really don't wanna go after something like that right now. Plus sales job? again? i promised myself after last summer that i wouldn't do another job like that. it's just so hard to fit in with people like that and when i look back on the whole experience it very much feels like you're wrapped in the comfortable blanket of possibility when really, you're working your ass off and may not come home with a paycheck everyday...

So because of this interview i thought i'd try and look my best and put on some of my dress clothes from last summer. turns out i got bigger, not just horizontally but vertically too. My shoulders got wider, my arms are longer, my legs are longer and my gut is bigger. it's a bit discouraging but at the same time i'm thankful that i'm still growing a bit... some in unwanted places though.

The funniest part about all this is that at the same time this group called Vector marketing has been calling me none stop. They're a great bunch of guys from what i've heard but as i said i'm not at all in the mood for a sales job. The same guy has called at least 10 times now... and left 5 messages. i finally was actually around and didn't have my pants on the floor, so i picked up the phone. Best part was during my stay at my job last summer was that i learned about impulses. This includes but is not excluded to, fear of loss, sense of urgency, jones effect, greed and indifference. So when i started talking to the guy he was super friendly with me, asked me about how i was, then impulsed the shit out of me. "we're trying to fill these spots soon so interviews are a first come first serve basis and we have a lot of applications, are you free tonight?" i laughed to be honest. fear of loss, sense of urgency, indifference (never once did he say we're impressed by your application) and telling me there's lots of applicants? Jones effect. pretty funny stuff, i have to admit i giggled while on the phone with him.

Oh and p.s i miss when ditto wasn't just used for pokemon sex...
