The grey clouds didn't relent as I pulled up at the house of an old office friend. I hadn't seen or actually talked to her since I quit that particular job about 3 years ago so it would be nice to visit her. I was greeted at the door and we said our hellos. Her, her boyfriend and I proceeded to the basement which was the only room in the house with carpet. I asked that they please put on the dvd that was part of my presentation. She turned on the dvd player to and the disc currently in the machine cue'd up. Her boyfriend was quietly shouting at her to turn it off quick! The picuture wasn't coming thru but the sound was loud and clear; moans and groans. It was porn! She quickly removed the disk and with embarrassed laughter hid the disk away and I began showing them the air purifier and space vac.

They found the equipment interesting but soon the 3.15pm kick off of the Packers v. 49er game and I lost the interest of the boyfriend. I knew she was in no position to buy and I was feeling completely drained and wanted to get home so I wrapped up early, said goodbye and stepped out into the last moments of daylight.

The sun descended as I drove north and I was mentally and physically exhausted. I hadn't eaten anything except that mcfood and I had spent my final hours in a situation where I new from the outset I wasn't going to sell anything. I put on The Casket Lottery's Moving Mountains cd and realized that I was going to quit; this job wasn't for me.
