They actually get worse? Have you experienced that feeling before? Currently I am like on a rollarcoaster ride at work. Just when I think that things may change and they are going to get better, only to find that they are actually getting worser than before. It happens everyday and I guess I am getting used to it somehow.

The idea of things getting worse is always a matter of perspective. I know some custodians who were really angry when they got a new boss with all his rules and changes but then were happy because it turned out to be better for everyone. Not knowing what you situation is, the only person that can determine whether a situation is bad or good is you and how you look at it! Getting up knowing it is going to be a bad day will automatically make it a bad day! You mind will seek out confirmation of 'bad day' and that is exactly how you will see it. Try getting up and telling yourself what a wonderful day at work is going to be and let your mind work for you and not against you!

Hello wondericequeen,
You sound like you are really tired with your work. Are you still working temporarily at the same company? Remember you told me that it will be only for six months. I don't like to put high hope on everything as whenever I hope to high, I might get frustrated at the end. It is not good too, for not putting any hopes in whatever you do, right?

Many days, I get no sale for a long time, then I finally get a sale and it's followed by more no sales.
One day, I got three sales in a row when I first started working. Then all the rest of the day was a "no sale" day. Every once in awhile, I'll get 2 or three sales and think my bad streak is gone. But then the rest of the day is no sales.
Yesterday was 2 sales in 5 hours. I'm supposed to be between 28 and 33%. Instead, I'm at 5%, 6%, 9% and if I'm lucky, higher than that. I know I'm not going to have this job much longer. It really, really bothers me that I will loose this job. I try and try, but people really, really don't want to buy from me. The stuff is so high end and I can't do high end. At both my jobs, nothing high end is selling! So I'll be out both of my sales jobs. My student is taking his test today, pass or fail, I'll loose him. So I will be out three jobs.
