Being an Avon Lady

Just a quick update- it’s continuing to go well. I have recently gotten a few new customers. And they’re good ones, who like to order a lot of skin care products! (I shouldn’t say “good” because most of my customers are good, but I mean they’re big spenders). I also added four people to my downline in the last two weeks and will be appointing another two people this week. I have a few people in the works to sign up in April and May as well. I love seeing people get started with Avon and then to see how well they do and how exciting it is. I think I like that more than selling. Maybe. I just like it all. It is so silly… I went to college for Public Relations and Marketing but here I am, an Avon lady. My education is actually being used but not in a way that I ever dreamed it would be. My district manager also asked me to help her with something that will be benefiting me a lot financially, and I am working at another career fair in a few weeks. Things are looking good.

And I don't have to resort to doing something like automotive lifts. How cool is it that I can stay home with Bailey AND have a great career?

Programming Job

Also if anyone in the St. Louis area knows of any programmer jobs- shoot me a message. My dad is a consultant and is in between positions right now. There just does not seem to be a lot out there. He is pretty advanced in his career and so they don't want him for the basic stuff, and they want to pay younger people a lot less to do the things that are widely available. All I know is he works with mainframes and COBOL and his job title at one point was Senior Program Analyst. If you have anything like that, please talk to me. I'd love to help him out!

I've Been Away

I have been kind of away from blogging for a few weeks. I've been busy, my grandpa had a knee replacement, Bailey has been wild and crazy, etc. That is a whole list of excuses but really I just haven't had as much spare time and energy lately. I hope to be back at it on a regular basis again! Once it has been a while since I have logged in, it is just harder to come back again. not that I don't love it, because I do... but it's just something that I have to enjoy doing. I hope that makes sense.
