Life of a Salesman: May 2006

http://dirtycopiersalesman.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

Life of a Salesman. Tuesday, May 30, 2006. Watched an interesting movie last night, Requiem for a Dream. One of those titles that have you reaching (or clicking, actually) for the thesaurus when you get back to your fast internet connection at work. It means thus; funeral song or hymn. I do recommend the movie, if for nothing but its soundtrack, I must find out if it won any awards. But to make this less of a diary, I think the movie raises some interesting questions. In a fashion. But back on track.

Life of a Salesman: March 2006

http://dirtycopiersalesman.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html

Life of a Salesman. Friday, March 31, 2006. Well, seeing as I haven't kept this updated on any sort of timescale (unless you count every 3 months as a time scale) I'm probably talking to myself, but I've heard that's therapeutic anyway. One question that it raises is how accurate and un-biased our science research is. People may turn off at this point and think 'why do I care? They were put forward to have 'the consensus of important scientists' and great media campaigns. It was put forward to be the con...

Life of a Salesman. Thursday, April 20, 2006. Keeping it in the Family. Well more rambling, aren't all of you captivated millions in for a treat? The night out last Wednesday was a heap of fun. Finding a tutu is a more difficult task than you may imagine. I had to buy 3 tutus made for 7 year-olds and have them stitched together. The final product was pretty cool though. I visited a 'seamstress' in Victoria Street in town who had the most adorable dog ever, I should've taken a picture. So I welcome anythi...

Life of a Salesman: December 2005

http://dirtycopiersalesman.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html

Life of a Salesman. Wednesday, December 07, 2005. Well it's been a while. Back onto the topic of sales. I was talking to my partner (side issue - hate the word girlfriend now, it sounds so 13) last night about approaching people for a job application. She is going for a job where there will be a lot of competition, and she happens to know a few people inside the organisation. Many of these 'angles' involve knowing how to get around people. Say you are told to talk to the receptionist but she turns ou...

Life of a Salesman: August 2005

http://dirtycopiersalesman.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html

Life of a Salesman. Friday, August 05, 2005. Salespeople - Liars and thieves or Consultants? The sales beast is a funny one. I'm a huge believer that there is very, very few jobs out there that do not require an element of sales. Whether you are selling your skills to your employer to move up the chain, or providing customer service, or selling directly, if you want to suceed you will need the basic skills of sales. People, they don't hurt them. Reporting to/interaction with company superiors. Selling yo...

Life of a Salesman: October 2005

http://dirtycopiersalesman.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html

Life of a Salesman. Wednesday, October 05, 2005. Now here's the thing. I think it would be quite exciting to stalk something and shoot it. Being in touch with nature and the skills I might one day need to survive seems quite grand to me. I don't like the whole heads-on-the-wall thing, and it doesn't sit very well with me killing an animal for no reason other than to know that you've killed it. What on earth could be wrong with that? Quite frankly I think that's erring of the side of caution, if anything.

Life of a Salesman: September 2005

http://dirtycopiersalesman.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html

Life of a Salesman. Thursday, September 29, 2005. Article by a biased plonker. Here is an excerpt from an article that I first read last weekend, in the Bulls McDonalds, of all places. I'm no fan of the Bush administration, but I'm even less of a fan of people who use false science and unbelievable, unfounded conclusions with a lack of evidence. Emotional scare-mongering for financial benefit. My comments in blue. Ok What makes these hurricanes super powerful? According to historical data hurricanes have...

Life of a Salesman: July 2005

http://dirtycopiersalesman.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html

Life of a Salesman. Monday, July 25, 2005. Well seeing as it's 'all the rage' to blog, I thought I'd try my hand. My blogging promises are to update you all with trivial knowledge about my life amongst other things, and express some of my opinions so that I actually figure out what they are. Heated debate is one of my favourite things to do. I will always take the other side of an argument if no one else does, but remember that this doesn't always reflect what I really think. Confused? Twice in two days.
