so I'm at beaners...
...and there's a salesman at the next table over (I assume salesman...totally the type) trying to sell a couple guys on some wealth-making business or process. I heard the guy talking about retirement -- explaining how peole have to work in their old age now -- and money, and being wealthy... and THEN I hear him telling them that the people they know is basically their inventory. and all I can think of is, I absolutely hate being the "friend" people go to hoping to get you involved in their "business."
this guy is still talking. and I have to tell you, i officially am not happy with salespeople. the retail associate variety is fine. you know what I'm talking about: car salesmen, Quixtar advocates (except for Ethan), commissioned employees for the most part, and car salesmen (did I say that one already?! rrrr)
there's just something about salespeople that put me almost immediately on the defensive. and I don't think I'm alone in this. I think the salesperson mentality is a direct result of the fall. it's definitely evil, probably demonic, and I find myself ready to skedaddle at the first sign of sales pitching. (skedaddle...yeah, I'm bringing it back!)
any-hoo, I have lots of pictures and silly things to share, but I'm getting caught up on my typing today. I have a much-needed day "off," so I'm at beaners drowning my stress and tiredness in a grande mocha carmel.
here is what you have to look forward to sometime in the near future:

do you think it was Amway? Out here i have discovered many people do the same sort of thing, but it's called Quickstar.
I detest it, and the whole scheme. It's just a legalized and slightly updated version of the pyramid schemes of yore, and is only a detriment and a leech to friendships - nothing else.
Hey, let us not denounce Amway too much. That parent company of the Quixtar pyramid scheme has provided the wife and I with plenty of quality freebies courtesy of Jenny's Amway employed father.
But other than that, complete suckitude. I got accosted by an 18 year old kid in a $200 suit in the wine aisle at Meijer once trying to rope me in. I think we should be able to punch them.
