Life Of A Salesman

This has been a relatively productive week for myself. I went all the way up to Lincolnshire for a Job Fair on Monday, and I have booked three interviews for next week. Two of them are located downtown!!! The other is a second interview with a company in Skokie.

Anyway, on Tuesday I went to the happiest place in the world: Three Floyds Brew Pub with a friend that I've known since Kindergarten. I started off with a Surly Klaus, followed it up with an Alpha Kong, and ended the night with one of my personal favorites: Black Sun Stout. My friend and I got around to talking about another friend of ours, of whom I used to live with. He currently resides in West Lafayette, but is dating a girl from Georgia. This is not the first time that he has done this. Anyway, after leaving, I realized that I have not talked to him in about a month or so, so I gave him a call.

He's been working as a vacuum salesman. Which was probably just as bad if not worse than digital microscopes. However; I did make an hourly rate. They only paid him commission, but he was not there long enough to make anything. What happened to my friend is that he ended up getting into a philosophical debate with his boss about the ethics of sales. Some words were exchanged, and it eventually turned very heated. His boss flicks him in the ear??? My friend responds with, Hey man I know that you're my boss, but don't do that. The boss replied, Well if you weren't such a hard-headed prick. So, my friend jacks him to the face and he falls to the ground. His boss then tackles him, but the fight gets separated. My question to all of this is: who flicks someone in the ear??? Not only that, but if you knew my friend, you wouldn't believe him to be a physically violent person, let alone knock someone down with one blow. Alas, this is the "Life Of A Salesman"
