Ug! I feel ill. Hubby went and got dinner tonight (yes, we splurged a little, but had a coupon). I got chicken wings and asked for hot. He took that to mean the hottest they have and he came home with NUCLEAR! OMG - never again! My lips and mouth were on fire and I had to keep ice cubes in my mouth for about a half an hour after I ate, lol! Now my stomach is not happy....
Finally got to add some cash to my challenge. I got my Ebay and half.com profits transferred to ING - 89.63. That brings my Current Challenge Savings to $266.46. I'm still well behind my goal, BUT I am really hoping I can play catch up now that I'll have extra income.
The training for the new job is going very well. I studied today and will probably take the final exam tomorrow. The phone company is coming to put in my business line tomorrow too. I am getting very excited!
I do have one concern -- upsells, yuck! Next time you call to order something and the phone rep tries to sell you a bunch of extra crap, please be nice. We don't want to do it, but we don't have a choice if we want to keep our job! Ok, got that out. Some of the products have 5 or 6 upsells! And, we have to get two no's (a yes would be nice too!) from the customer before we can move on. Yikes! But, I am going to remember why I am doing this! Some of the other lines I get to train for later don't have upsells, so that will be nice!
Things have been slow with my challenge. I've been concentrating so much on the job that I haven't gotten much of a chance to read other blogs and surf the net looking for ideas and deals. I miss all that! I'll get back into the swing of it soon. I did have two Ebay auctions end for gift cards I got from trial offers. I made $32. I'll add that to my challenge when I get it transferred to my challenge account. I'm still waiting on a couple more GC's that I will post on Ebay as well.
That's all for now - have a great day everyone!
Another Day!
