Man, tired of:
being nice.
One thing about sales, you've generally got to be nice whether you feel like it or not... Pete

I am retired, I don't have to be nice to anyone, I do it 'cause I am such a sweet fellow.

Wow, flattery will get you everywhere
I really didn't mean it that way John, I was serious. As Scott Adams (Dilbert) says, people are idiots. No exceptions  I say 'Pete speaking. Hi Bob, how you doing? Thats great, great.' Translation: 'Oh man not YOU. Whats your problem TODAY? Are you going to b*tch for an hour about the product YOU required to meet that price point, that we'll only make $20 on?' Rob, I've been studying the ways of the curmudgeon for some time, waiting impatiently for day I can come out of the closet lol. See: "(waving fist) Get off my grass you young whippersnappers!" Pete

I used to be in retail sales.
Now I get paid to argue. Who doesn't believe in yin and yang? Regards, D-Ray

Quite honestly, I'm used to presenting my arguments to courts or to arbitrators, or to administrative agencies, where most labor work done. I am a little concerned about how well I will relate to a jury. (Guess that's why I cut my hair off.) I'm pretty sure that if I tried to be a good ol' boy, they would see right through it. I'll just have to think like Popeye before I go in - I yam what I yam.
Regards, D-Ray

I occasionally watch the Ohio Supreme Court proceedings on the 'Ohio Channel'. I can see why many would consider it an interesting job. I'm USUALLY myself, manners and general nonviolence were beaten into my head ( ) (well boxed more like, very occasionally) by my mom. But I get paid to make nice to a degree at least.Pete
