The Good, The Bad, and The Sleepy

Okay, so every day isn't happening at all. That's okay, right? It's my blog, and I say it's okay. :P

Pam bought Jerry and me plane tickets home for his birthday! We're going to be on Texas soil next month!!!! We're coming hooooooooome!

Can you tell I'm excited?

Life has not been all hunk-dory, but it hasn't been that bad.

We had the meeting the other day for Sales Person on the Month. There are different sections of the classifieds - I'm in Inside Sales. Anyway, my boss screwed up, and it potentially cost me Inside Sales Person on the Month. There were two winners, one of which is the person who started the same day I did. They both got 27 points. According to Deseret's calculations, I had 26 points. Unfortunately, she undercounted my total calls answered last month (which is where some of the points come from) by over 200 calls. In other words, I had 27 same as them. Since there couldn't be 3 winners, she is giving me an extra point towards next month.

On the up side, she did something I find very odd, but it's beneficial to me.

Our commission isn't based on actual dollar volume of sales. Every month we have goals of how much we are supposed to sell that month. This goal is called our budget. Our commisions are based on the percent of budget we achieve. Deseret set me a very low budget this month - only $10,000. I've already sold over $24,000 this month. So, in my commision check, it will seem like I sold over 250% of budget. That will mean a very fat commission check - yay! I'm wondering if she's doing it to make up for the fact that the actual award winners received a bonus. I'm not complaining, mind you. If anything, this is why I love my boss. She takes care of her own.

I would probably be alot more enthused if I weren't so tired. I've been hard pressed to fall asleep before midnight the past few nights. I just can't sleep. I wish I could figure out what's causing it so I can stop it. Oh, well. Jerry flipped the mattress around, so the bed is a lot more comfy. Maybe that will do the trick.

That's it for now. Ciao.
