On The Brink

***

I couldn't write last night because my broadband
connection was down, so I've set aside a few minutes this
morning to jot down a few words. Of course, it won't be
nearly as detailed, since I've got cartoons blaring behind
me in the living room and "mommy!" being bellowed from the
girls' bedroom. This is why I like to write at night. No
disruptions other than the voices in my head.

Gen and I got to do coffee for the first time in over a
week. Between our two schedules, we haven't been able to
get together every morning like we're accustomed to. My
schedule has been all over the place and Gen's working
because it's Spring Break. So, no coffee-time for us. It's
a shame, too. I miss our talks.

I worked yesterday. That's about it. I'm not as enthused
about work as usual, because I've been put back in the bra
dungeon. Don't get me wrong, I like the satisfaction of
helping people find the right bra for them and the
happiness it brings to them and me, but it requires more
hands on people skills. Sometimes more people skills than
I'm feeling up to mustering. I have to be friendly,
personable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Yeah, how
often am I feeling like that naturally? Not ever I think.
So, it's a little more challenging than just asking them
if they want an angel card and then scanning their crap.
Tamara noticed that I was able to sell lots of bras
through the wardrobing center and now she's exploiting
that. Ever 2 hours I hear "Jennifer, we're 5 (or whatever
the number happens to be) bras away from this segment's
goal, do your magic"! It's a lot of pressure! But I relish
the pressure...When I'm not on the brink of a nervous
breakdown.

I have some BIG news to tell you, but I'm not exactly sure
how I want to go about it yet, so I'll just have to leave
you in suspense. Stay tuned! Ciao
