Well, another day down till......... Uh yeah. LOL. Good day in general. Stayed and worked a bit late tonight and for that treated myself to some wings at Hooters. The really do have the best wings!!!! Always some great conversation with a friend, well texts at least. Magic 8 Balls seem to be very in decisive. Not sure I spelled that right. Dont care really.
One thing I want to put out there is I really am happy and dont beat myself up all the time. I know life is tough some times and I am good with that. Life is surely getting better and better everyday. One step at a time. This blog is a way for me to put it out there for people to get a taste of my life. I am always intrigued to read about others lives and hope some enjoy reading about mine. I will have struggles, I will have ups and downs and likely will talk about them. I was very excited that someof the attention from this blog has brought me closer to a couple of my good life long friends. Love you all!!!!!
With that said I wanted to chat about my real job tonight. Then all the extra stuff another night. I work as an outside sales rep for a sporting goods store. We sell sporting uniforms and equipment to schools and rec departments and really anyone all over the Charleston and surrounding areas. I have some great accounts and love what I do. The company has some challenges at times that can be scary. They are pretty old school about things and dont really like to bring things into the current times. This puts us behind in some cases. I have many aopinions about changes that could make the company so much better and profitable, but just not gonna happen. Its typically a waste of breath. I do OK and I have tons of flexibility with my job. I get to work at home sometimes and set my schedule. Long as I am selling its all good. It allows me more time with my kids and to take part in more of their life events. Its not enough money to get ahead and barely enough to keep up most of the time. After a year in outside sales thats getting better. I plug away and enjoy the time there. There is really a few great people I work with and am very lucky to have met. So enough of that, blah, blah, blah. Its a job and for that I am very thankful!!!!
Second thing is a quick one to talk about. My friend Clinton has a jump castle biz and I have a snowcone machine we rent out as well. He pays me to help him do the set-ups. I also have done events with selling snow cones and rented it out as well. Its not very time consuming at this point. Extra cash is always good.
What do all my side jobs have to do with everything. Well my goal is to work for myself, when I want and on some sort of semi automated nusiness or a business I can oversee and pay others to run for me.
Wore patch today and still smoked about 5 cigarettes. Gonna be a togh one. Easy to say just quit and then someone at work pushes me so far and I just have to bite my tongue and walk away to get my composure. At which point I want to smoke. Hard to accomplish anything productive when I have to work till 8:30 at night, run to grab something to eat, go home, take meds, get settled in and then its almost 10pm. Again slow and steady it will go. Progress a small bit at a time.
Couple quickie side notes. I love Words With Friends and Angry Birds. I wish I could et a Nook Color or Kindle Fire to play them on. Would be great for books as well. :) If anyone cant decide on a gift for me then there ya go. Thanks in advance for such an awesome gift. HaHa.
I forgot one of my Bestest friends Kevin from when I was in the Marines. We did everything together and surely had a blast doing it. We always had each others backs and looked out for each other. We probably could have been dead or jailed many times for some of our infamous party stunts or acts. Some of which we had to be told about the next day. We drank alot together. More then you could surely imagine. A brother in the Marines is a bond that will always be there. Thanks Kevin for helping me keep my head up and caring enogh to check in on me. Looks like he may be planning a skydiving trip for us and I will get to cross that off my bucket list. I need to starta ucket list. Listed most of it in previous blog a couple days ago. Anyway I wanted to mention him and note he surely was part of an exciting time in my life. The Marines simply would not have been the same without him.
Alrighty, I am gonna crash or at least lay down. Thanks for reading. Likely another long day tomorow. Wonder what amazign thing a coach will throw at me tomorrow. Bring it. Night Everyone!!!!!
No real good deeds today, but none bad either.
Eric
