Well, most of us know what that is, right? And hate it! Corporate mentality, that is, not an intro. Though that's coming, too -- in case, anyone's interested.
But corporate mentality. Grrr!
Adhering to rules making about as much sense as rush-hour autobhan speeding minus insurance - and with a big sign on the windowshield, proclaiming "Highway cops are pigs! Yeehaw!"
Seriously, yesterday, my husband and I went to buy a ring, a whole "diamond is forever, thank you for my firstborn" kind. I let myself be persuaded
Went to Kay Jewelers; awesome diamond guarantee plan, arguably the best in the business -- not that I am advertising. Quite the opposite, as a matter of fact. You see, that's where "corporate mentality'" comes into the picture.
There were three ladies manning the store. One hung behind the counter for a bit before leaving. The other was occupied with a young couple choosing an engagement solitaire. And the third...well, she was dedicatedly doing nothing. Which we might not have noticed, mind you, had she not approached us to say that she will, in fact, continue doing nothing even though we were ready to try out their wares and she was more than ready to sell them. The reason? She was on her lunch break and CORPORATE POLICY proscribes doing anything work-related while she is clocked out. She saw us browsing, she saw us wanting to buy, but sorry, them were the shakes.
Now, I don't know if she works on commission, but let me tell you, she fidgeted more than a cat on a hot tin roof as we ambled past either of the boutique's two exits. Finally, just as we were ready to leave, she panted on up. Lunch over. Can she, please, please, help us now?
Well, help us she did -- and she, also, helped me to an understanding. I am on maternity leave from my own job, and I don't want to go back to being a corporate drone, no sirree bob, no, thank you! But I don't want to just leach off of my husband's paycheck. Besides, economy being as it is -- can we really afford it?
So -- and now to the intro part of the post -- here I am, hoping to master a new trade, hoping I am not too old a dog to learn a new trick of working from home and actually making a profit. I don't know much about forex, not yet, but I want to learn. And I think this might not be such a bad place for it -- especially with me missing co-workers, friends. This whole forum place is another thing that sort of sold me.
And not to overstay my welcome around here all in one go....Hey, everyone, enter Alisa aka SkyKennel. Looking forward to making friends and trades! So, respond, why dontcha?
