So.
So. I come out of the office and into the living room, and find John sitting on the floor in front of the coffee table on his computer, with one of my hair clips I left on the table perched atop his head. He’s barely got enough hair to hold it, but there it is. I say:
“You are so my father.” (meaning, of course, that I’d find my father having done this same thing many a time).
He replies, “No! He has a chair, and I do not.”
Haha. Poor man. Needs a man chair. It’ll come with time.
So, the weekend. The week back at work has been good. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I spent Thursday at the UVSC job fair, and aside from one or two unique people still needing to be interviewed further, it may have been a waste of time. Most people who approached my table and heard my speal about SEO, design, programming and editing looked at me and said, “Whoa, I’m not smart enough for that.” The table to my left however, a sales job with some door to door milk/produce company promising 12.50 an hour, starting wage, got quite a lot of attention. The most disturbing thing I heard at that table was a repeated conversation that went like this.
“Do you have door to door sales experience?”
“Well, I’ve been on a mission.”
“There ya go! That’s exactly it. Except our product is a lot easier to sell than the Book of Mormon!”
I pretty much lost all repsect for the sales guy, who then went on to describe the wonderful nature of their product. He tried to make conversation with me, and asked if I’d ever been in sales. I said, “Yes.” He said, “Did you like it?” I said, “It takes a certain kind of person to be in sales. You either need to be good at finding people who want your product, or good at making people think they want it. I don’t mind the first kind of saleperson. The second kind of irks me. Either way, it doesn’t interest me.” I didn’t think my comment was offensive, but he didn’t seem to want to talk to me after that. It was kind of weird. I mean he ASKED me what I thought. I didn’t mean a sales person is a BAD kind of person, just a certain kind. But yeah, I had a lot of kids turn up their nose at some pretty good opportunities that day. UVSC is a pretty interesting place. I did run into a couple people from England and the girl that lives upstairs. It was kind of fun to see people again. I wish I had more time to get in touch with people from my mission, but alas…
Today John and I kind of just hung around- cleaned the house up, watched movies. Tonight we drove up to Park City. I love going to Park City. It’s a good drive up the Canyon, and then a good walk up and down Main Street, kind of a hilly main street. There are tons of touristy shops, which for some reason, I love. Tonight we found some treasure: cookie cutters! We got a pumpkin shape, a leaf, and a MOOSE. It was like buying a little piece of Fall to hold on to until it actually gets here. Maybe next weekend John and I will make some cookies and fudge and SHAPE them. Tomorrow I teach Relief Society, which I usually enjoy. Women are generally easy to get talking. So we’ll see how it goes.
Also: I updated some pictures in the gallery. We’re still waiting on all the professional ones in CD form, but I’ll put more up gradually, probably just adding them to the folders already delineated for the wedding. Hope you enjoy them
