Blooming where I am planted! | Thanks for the replies so far. I had a bad conversation with my boss yesterday, and I was so upset afterwards that I had to call my hubby and he had to talk me down. The sales goals I feel are unreachable, given 1) I have a hard time getting time with my boss even when I set up weekly meetings, 2) it's hard getting clear work direction from her, 3) we have to do a lot of other sales admin/by-client (for 200+ potential clients) weekly forecasting/recordkeeping/client service-type stuff that takes away significant time from selling. This will truly feel like a 100# anvil being lifted, when I can get out. This job is definitely NOT what I thought it would be.
What I really like doing: 1) the grocery/supermarket industry (I'm in it now, I just want to be in a DIFFERENT part of it), 2) animal hospitals - I've done everything from cleaning kennels to running blood/urine tests to assisting with procedures (spays/neuters, xrays, dentistries, anal surgeries, declaws, cesareans, etc.), 3) gardening (would love to work in a nursery in the summer), and 4) teaching --adults or kids--I like seeing or hearing the light bulb go off in their heads, and I like working 1:1 the best. |
