Okay....so the IT show is over, and I'm still feeling the side effects from work...Reach home by 11, do some stuff online, sleep by 12, and wake up at 9. That isn't enough sleep considering the amount of work I put in. On my feet from 11am to 10 pm is a killer. And out of every 10 customers only 1 will buy, while another 2 will give you false hope with that "I'll take a look around and come back later." Anyway, selling an average of 5 laptops per day is equivalent to one laptop every two hours. Laptops I sell below $2k, I earn $10, while laptops above $2k I earn $15. I think I only sold 2 laptops below $2k. Some of you may say I earned a lot, but if you compare me with 3 of the regulars, they can sell up to 15 in one day. Thats on a weekend of course. Anyway, if my pay cheque turns out to be $300+, I'll consider going back next time. If its over $400 I'll definitely go back. $100 per day isn't that bad. I hate those people who make you talk and talk and talk and then they tell you they're not buying. I mean if you're genuinely interested, you listen to my sales talk, and decide that this product isn't suited for you, I perfectly understand that. But some of these assholes can just stand there playing with the damn laptop and just let me ramble on and on while I could be talking to real customers. And there are also assholes who simply just ignore me when I give my most charming smile and salutation. They can stand there and look at the laptop, and when I ask if I can help, they just ignore me and continue reading the brochure.

Then there's the auntie or uncle who's eye happens to be caught by the fancy gamer's laptop. They scurry over and marvel at it. Obviously they're looking for a laptop as a gift to their grandson or someone like that. But when I tell them the price is at $3048, they will firstly open their eyes wide in shock as if they were having a heart attack, then they screw up their eyes and shake the heads like a cat, as if I had just poked them and squirted lemon juice into their eyes.

Anyway, pay cheque won't be ready till about 3 weeks time. In the mean time I'll catch up on gaming and sleeping.
