Update XX: A Darn Good Judge of My Financial Situation

[Joe Biden 2020]

Have you shared the company name with Smash and JMann are you going in this one blind with no research?

Nope, I haven't seen anything on this. 

Bushie is the $30,000 a salary??  A draw?  Does the $30k base even exist?  What kind of sales?

The $30,000 is a base salary.  I will be selling credit card machines to small and medium sized businesses in the Tulsa metro.

Are you selling the machines or the processing service behind the machines?

The machines themselves.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I'm hearing all of what you are saying... and I'm letting it go out the other ear.  I don't need negativity and I am not going to listen to negativity.  King is being purely negative.  He probably doesn't even want me to succeed here.  He wants to say "I told you so".  He thinks he absolutely knows what's going to happen in the future.  He thinks I don't know anything.

What kind of machines are they? Are they actually something innovative people would buy in the year 2015 like this?



Or are you looking for suckers to buy this?

Both, but mostly the former.

You're right. I don't want you to succeed there because I want you to have money in your bank account.

Seriously, who gives two craps if you succeed at selling credit card machines? Literally nobody will care if you succeed at this. Not your parents, not you. It's completely worthless waste of time.

You're right nobody will care about the credit card machines themselves or that I sold them.  They will care, however, that I finally found something I'm good at and that I can enjoy.  Besides, I am not intending this as a permanent job.  I'm only intending this as a filler until I get a CAD job which is what I really want.  I just need some income in the meantime.  I know it will be difficult, and I'm mature enough to not expect dollar bills to fall from the ceiling.  It will take hard work, but I still believe I can make it work.  My boss will be there to show me the ropes.  Plus, the way I see it, since this is a filler job, if I don't succeed at it and I don't make a dime, then I haven't really lost anything.  I do believe in the $30K Base Salary, though, and I believe I can make a good amount of money here.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Sorry for the delay, but I just sent the name of the company to Smash and J-Mann for their review.  I've got nothing to hide here.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I'm still going to go in there tomorrow with an open mind and see what is going on.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Okay, folks, after seeing J-Mann's review and thinking about it for a few minutes, I have decided NOT to go in tomorrow.  I am going to refocus on the CAD search.  I just e-mailed him and told him that I would not be coming in.

Smash, the interviewer mentioned $30,000 base salary for those wanting to get in the management track, which I was, so that's where the $30K came from.  The Sales Rep position itself is all commission.

Yes, and do you just get that Management position?? or do you need to perform in the sales rep position first before being promoted to the Management position??

The credit card machine ending up being an apt metaphor use by the writers. Bushie was clearly banking on using his white privilege charge card to ascend above the Negro worker ants and into management without work, but he doesn't realize it's all maxed out and nobody will swipe it.

Now, now there's no need to go onto a racist anecdote here.

I would have to start out in the sales position for a bit.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Bushie, will you now begin applying to Uber, Pizza drivers, and Walmart (jobs that you could actually hold down and may even enjoy)?

I don't like the idea of having to use my car and my gas for a job except getting to and from, so that takes out the first two.  I've applied to Walmart two or three times before and I've never gotten a call back.

So basically you had an opportunity to get a Management position with a $30,000 base salary (which for all you know could actually be a draw), but in order to get that position you first had to succeed at a full commission sales job?  Is there a reason why you left that VERY IMPORTANT piece of information out initially?

I was trying to get myself to believe I could do it.  I also didn't think it would take a long time to get there.  Either way, I goofed.  Now, drop the subject, please.

[Joe Biden 2020]

You'll be happy to hear (I think) that I just applied to work at Macy's Department Store at either one of the Tulsa shopping malls.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I know I messed up when I said what I did about the management track aspiration and such.  This is why I spent an hour earlier this evening applying for a retail job.  I'm going to do more in the morning while I continue to look for a CAD job.  Speaking of which, I may be getting close to another CAD interview.

[Joe Biden 2020]

When I started this diet I said I would go out twice a week including weekends.  I used one tonight and got a Burger King burger, but no fries with a diet coke.  I will eat in again tomorrow night and will eat out Friday, but eat in the rest of the weekend.  Before tonight, I hadn't gone out since last Saturday.

[Joe Biden 2020]

How's the walking going?

Walking and water are going well.  I'm at 20 minutes and 4 glasses of water.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Glad you walked and didn't eat fries.

Thanks
