It's really that easy. Like, I know what to say. We did these role playing things today and I knew what the guy was saying wrong. I knew it all. I just don't want to say it. (Tom Brokaw intimidates the fuck out of me) I just don't want to really ever go on a sales call where I'm in charge. So I know how you feel Scarlet. It would have made me quit. I knew it was going to be training. I just still don't know why I was invited. You either want to be in sales or you don’t. It’s really that easy. Like, I know what to say.

You'll be home tomorrow....and back at your desk Monday. And....don't underestimate yourself....you've known sports since you were a toddler, you amazingly learned mulch & dirt (not amazing that you learned it: amazing that you wanted to learn it), and you'll be the MVE (Most Valuable Employee) at this place before they even know what hit 'em.

I don't know what they were thinking bc they all knew I loathed the phone. I wouldn't make sales calls until the lunch time of the day and I would lock myself in an unused office so noone could hear me on the phone. HATED IT. The company went under soon after but really, it wasn't because of me. Seriously.
