Lost in Booze Blatte

Heya

Today's post will be in English, to make up for those previous posts I haven't translated, and prolly won't... out of pure lazyness.

Anyhow, I'll try to make this one quick, since i have a heavy drinkin' night ahead of me. I'm tagging along a bunch of German guys for drinks tonight, as you probably guessed from the title.

I've been trying to decide what I was going to talk about in here today, and quite frankly, I dunno. One could always touch on the matters of impending doom in the world, what with the Russian going "screw yall" in Eastern Europe, I spose... but international politics isn't something I'm good at. I'm not really clear on whatever they want to achieve there, to be honest. Probably more power, as it always seems to be the case. I don't really see the attraction of seeking power, myself. I spose I must lack ambition, or something.

Probably means I'll end up being a subordinate at some point, if I don't go "eat shit and die" on whatever company employs me and go start my own.

Speaking of companies, and being pissed off, I recently was asked by my management to actually lie on the effin' reporting they have us make every week.

"Reporting"... as a friend of mine recently pointed out to me, it seems like a very childish thing to do, when you're out of the sales game. When you're in there, though, it's more of a Holy-freaking-Grail thing. That's one of the two words your higher-ups will have in their mouth. The other one, obviously, will be "target".

While I'm glad I took up my current job in sales (it took me to Ireland, and so far I love it here), I don't think I'll stay there more than a year... Too much nonsense going on there. And it's not really a company matter.

No, the real problem lies in the way things work in sales. While I love selling, meeting new people, discussing stuff, convincing the guy you're talking to, I am appalled by the amount of pointless meetings, reporting and all kind of administrative bullshit involved in the job.

Well, well... it seems I did find something to write about, hehe.

Hope you enjoy reading those little posts as much as I enjoy writing them, by the way.

Cheers,

LaBlatte.
