The upside of sales

The downside of sales is your performance can suck despite your best efforts, simply due to the luck of the draw. Then there are the other days where doing practically nothing nets you big. My first two customers yesterday brought me ~$580 and ~$350 respectively. Considering my goal for the day was $1700, that wasn't half bad. My sales were lousy afterwards, though i made customers happy. That was until a family came in on my up and she bought a coat for $999.00. Holy god. I did almost nothing and got $20 from commission (as well as now being secure in my sales for the week). Hell, i might even get other rewards off that one. I am what we call, happy at this.

Some progress has been had in this day off at least

I managed to finish extracting all of the content from that 400 page book (including references), pulled out the necessary info from my other book on Erosion, pulled out all of the images from both (11 figures total). I will attempt to finish the key images of my own making for the presentation tonight.

While i was at it, i finished all of the passport application paperwork, the photo-taking for said application. Also applied to join the International Association for Landscape Ecology which requires money to be sent to Dresden, Germany. I will be getting copies of the journal "Landscape Ecology" which will be handy.

Might finish up a x-mas list for the folks and perhaps others whom would like it. Depends on if i will have enough time, considering i have work tomorrow (late) morning.

I am most appreciative that i was productive today considering how much really ought to be done.
