At the end of my last post I wrote of a possibility of my being an automobile sales person (selection specialist is preferred now) by the end of the week. My lovely wife even commented on it perhaps being God-sent. Well, I completed the first day of training by Tony today. I called said wife at noon and gave a positive progress report. So far, so good. Excitement ensued, I was told later. By the end of this training session, however, my perceived enthusiasm waned. Tony continued droning on on about how to prevent the customer from making any negative reaction and to sell the car today. My stomach was in a knot. My blood pressure must have been a billion over 300 million. I couldn't possibly go home and tell my life partner (just as ridiculous as "selection specialist") that I (we) just blew a good sum of cash on training materials I will probably not bring home and/or never use. The risk factor was WAY too high and my body was even rebelling because of it. That's right, I've decided to cease pursuing my dream of becoming a vehicle selection specialist. Back to hitting the pavement.
On a good note, my three-year-old granddaughter drove her new (to her) pre-owned Cadillac Escalade. It was a gift from a friend of a friend. It is a battery powered two-seater complete with FM radio and CB. I missed this while having my hopes and dreams dashed (yet again)!

This is a good thing in itself. I always have and will probably continue to think of car salesmen as schisters (sp) Not a place for you! Glad you gave it a shot though, just in case hell froze over and things had changed in that world. Closed chapter, on to the next adventure.bal
Without trying we never know if we can or not... I'm sure God has some special job in store for you, it is just finding it.
And you will in God's timing.
Have a great day.
Thank you, ladies.
