Last week We moved to Surrey. Nice city so far, very multi-cultural. Nice area. My Wife, Irish organized and reorganized the place. (I’m not allowed to help on these projects and  am generally told to Back off and let her do her thing. So I did.

Then I started working. Ouch. Great place Called Prime Time Promotions. By the name of It I though I was promoting movie stars or something. Really nice owner named Joe (Who just happens to be over a decade younger than me…) But what they do is canvass  for charities like Red Cross and World Vision.

Let me tell you, if you think you are a salesman and want to test yourself, try canvassing. If you know you are not good at sales, don’t torture yourself. You would think Going around and talking to people about helping out each other by putting a buck aside a day would be child’s play, right? right?

Wrong.

Let me tell you, it’s hard to convince people of that. Here’s how bad I am at that very task. Tonight I was out (Ok at this point it was in the afternoon) I failed to convince 2 separate PRIESTS that it was a good idea to help the needy and give kids  swimming and first aid classes.

I mean these were PRIESTS! Don’t they preach “Help thy Neighbour”?

Anyways the company is part of a bigger network, that has be basic rules of no registered donors in your first week, and move along for those who can get them….

So I’m unemployed again.

I must reiterate, Good cause, give generously. Good people doing it, so be nice to them PLEASE!!! They get enough people yelling at them, or being nearly mauled by dogs, or telling them to get real jobs. They don’t need that, they just want to help.

So tomorrow I am hitting the BC Center, and the job listings again.

On the plus side wee have internet at home…. 🙂
