Just Pass Me By

Last week I had a interview. The night before I had to go to a informational meeting about the company. I decided this job wouldn’t work out for me after intervieing because I just think it be to much pressure it would be 100% commission and 5-6 months of training grant it during that time I would be earning money. The interviewer wanted to fast track me to regional management I believe it was, but after talking about the position I started worrying that I would end up with the potential of really getting into financial trouble.
Pretty much what it is was a loan on commission, which is never a good thing. If I where to flop it wouldn’t be me paying but my manager, the one over me. If I were to get to that point then it could be me having to suck up the cost of someone else mistakes. I am not sure I like that idea, I will think about it if nothing else opens I might have to work very hard at it and pray no one gets raid of their services.
Well I went to the meeting, and they started it a few minutes late. Ever notice, that it’s okay for a interviewer to run late, or for these companies to start things late, but heaven forbid you run late to their interview. I always run 10 to 20 minutes early, it’s a pain when they run 10 to 20 minutes late, that means I have sat there doing nothing when I could have been using that time for homework or something else which needs to get done. Don’t get me wrong I am not mad, I just think it funny that they stress being early and they themselves are late.
One thing I will do if I ever sit up meeting is make sure I can be on time, and if not place a call to the person to come in a little later. I understand getting caught up with something or other appointments running later then you expected and sometimes that just happens. Running a business is hard and that’s probably the main reason they are running late. I often get asked did you have any problems finding us, usaully I do not have problems. My favorite one is were are you coming from, when I tell them if they on the other side of the metro how they ask if it’s to far. Woodbury is about a good 25 minutes with out traffic and a good 45 minutes with traffic, it’s not hard to get to but when I do interviews I often get asked if it’s to far away. Now I will not work in lets say Stillwater because it the other way North and East and would take me to long to make it out there during rush hour.
I really hope this work at home job comes through for me, because it be nice to be able to work at home and cut out the travel time, and not have to count that into my schedule. Travel time seems to be the most tiring and draining of all activities I do. I love driving for the most but it gets taxing during rush hours. I know I need a job, gotta get supplies and cover living expenses which is hard to do. I might need to get outdoor furniture covers for my plants.
