So, with my rash decision to quit the last job and the interim of 2 month’s lack of wages, i rely on the smart phone. No wifi for 2 weeks. Thats no ASMR for sleep along with movies til i drop. Days away from no electricity or gas makes this existance close to the pioneers of yore. On the upside, the management have high hopes of my ability and i believe a sale is near. Just over there. Can you see it? I guess im a risk taker. An adrenaline junky in the finencial sense. Learning lots and having fun. Jeez, when was the last time i had that? Im getting along good with the established sales troop and have acquired a degree of respect. Since we’re all sharks, that’s a positive. Im 54 but a short skirt and long blonde hair does go a long way. Lol. What else have i got to lose? Not much. I’m pretty sure i’ll have my first sale tomorrow. 99 more and i’ll earn a ring. Should i choise white or yellow gold? You pick!

I’m learning all about people and sales. I went on a joyride In the backseat of a SS Camaro, unfortunately. The youngsters simply wanted to play with a toy. Since my associate was of a large size, I was nominated to chaperone. After pulling my pencil skirt up, I squeezed into the back seat. Windows down, Blonde hair flying, I crossed my chest as if I was Catholic. The driver manipulated the stick in a manner that didn’t sound good. I am inexperienced in the sound of a manual transmission but my gut was telling me, things could sound better. The youthful driver gunned that machine and then almost kissed the freaking bumper of the car in front. I said many “Jesus Christ’s “ but they could not be heard over the revving. The second passenger, of the same youth went on about the V8. This rang a bell and I asked if they had seen Mad Max. With my best Australian accent I shouted “the last of the V8’s!” Good old Ducky.

Got nice feedback from the higher uppers. Was told they heard "great things" about me. I'm fearless at talking to people and will chat up people until they love me. Lol. I'm not pretending to know it all. My gimmick is to be as amazed as the buyer, because I am. I tell my customers how the advances in autos would have made my life easier. If course, I put a silly spin on things. Laugh at me, I don't care. I'm the most honest salesperson you'll ever meet.

I almost got 2 sales. I know, almost, but it was fun! My coworkers said I did a good job and getting to know people's stories are an interesting side to this meal. I drove 2 big trucks and keep learning stuff. Automobiles are fascinating to me. I don't know why I didn't try this sooner.

Speed bumps rate high in my pet peeve list.
Considered a tool to keep you from going past the posted speed limit or risk damage to your cars suspension, some speed bumps are so dangerous they actually force you to make a full stop and (literally) crawl over them.

I work in several gated communities and they are often riddled with speed bumps.

One development has a few that you think you've signed up on their 'organ relocation project' while others have 'speed humps' as gentle reminders which is really what they were designed to do. We need more of those and less of the others.

Did you ever start doing something when you suddenly realize that you've completely messed up? Yeah, me either.... well until just now.

So I'm drawing a gymnast and not thinking at all apparently. Then it occurs to me just how wrong the body is for a gymnast. See if you don't agree



Could you imagine that girl doing gravity-defying flips and such? It's ridiculous, right? What the hell made me draw a gymnast with no arms and no feet?

An example of the height of the Kustom movement is “Joanne’s Dream”. This remarkable automobile started life as a 1954 Oldsmobile Super 88 coupe and was completely transformed in period. Before its radical transformation, this Olds was used as a daily driver in the early 1960s while in the possession of Tom and Joanne Archer. It was Joanne’s dream to build a custom show car and the Olds served as the perfect staring point. Rather than simply applying a lick of paint and some pin stripes, Tom went completely nuts and transformed the 54 Olds into a totally unique and truly individual kustom car. Barely recognizable as the donor Super 88, the now-fully restored machine features a unique roof line and a handmade El Camino-style pickup bed. Starting at the front end, the modified 55 DeSoto grille is the first thing you notice, along with the quad headlights which were lifted from a 1957 Plymouth and grafted into the Olds fenders. The original hood was stamped with louvers and smoothed to be free of trim and badges. Corvette-inspired coves behind the front and rear wheel arches were custom made and fitted to the body and 1959 Plymouth Belvedere trim graces the body sides. The roof line was of course heavily chopped and 1961 Corvair air ducts were integrated into it.

My daughter hates me. I left a Easter message. Last message in January. I'm not a great mom. I'm not a great person. I'm just a person trying to survive.

My manager really believes in me. I feel an obligation to deliver. Keep in mind, I know absolutely nothing about automobile except, they are a method to obtain freedom. I feel as if I stepped off my spaceship and integrated into the earthling environment. I am studying what engines exist and all of these technologies that are standard. oh lordy, one can be a real space cadet to drive these days. These new cars can do the thinking for you. Who cares about deer running in front. Oh, yes, in these parts, a deer can be a real threat. So this "daddy's girl" is starting from square one. I might as well be an alien. It's all news for me. All, very interesting and exciting
