Since I came out at work last spring, my straight commision income has taken a nosedive. Partly, because business is just not very good. But a bigger part was caused by my loss of focus on selling. My concentration was so focused on protecting my place as Beverly in the sales force that my income suffered substantially.
Things are now turning in my favor, but too little, too late, and I'm in one of the worst short-term financial pinches of my adult life. Oh, the tide is certainly turning, but I hate hearing the phone ring lately. I'm waiting for several checks to come in....1 small, another nice, and a third, my tax return. It looks like my return is going to pay our debts, and catch us up to date. Looks like there will be nothing left. Oh well. Bummer. For once I had hoped to keep several hundred in savings for a change.
And now, My hair looks like >-bleeped-<...I haven't been to the hair dresser in over a month, and my nails are growing out to the limit after almost a month. Yeah, yeah....I know.....poor poor Bev, can't afford the hair or nails. But it impacts my sales also. Doing consultative sales and looking shabby do not go together well, and when your hair is as fine and thin as mine, well, the better it's maintained, the more feminine it looks.
Arrggg!!!!!
Come in, checks!
*sigh* Thanks for listening
Bev
