Sigh. You're fired in my company for that shit.
I've brought Jessi in my office before, then again, I don't work @ NORAD like you do.

My dad works for the Army Core of Engineers, and I'm not even allowed to get out of the damn car when I go on base with him. It's nuts, but I kind of understand the regulations.

Interesting you say this, I need to do more research but have thought that working for a solar /wind power type manufacturer could be pretty cool.
Great idea. That's the future.
The problem I see with that is that around here it winds up being a door to door sales situation. At least once a week I come home to a solar flyer on my door, or someone ringing the doorbell.

Oh yeah, I'd have to be extremely desperate to do something like that... But I'm sure there's a B2B side, sell it to contractors, design firms, .gov.

I don't think I can ever be "sold a car" just by walking into a dealership. I know what I'm looking for and know a price point. The same way advertisements and commercials don't do anything for me.

They should have the service writers sell you cars.

Good points, Zach. I agree with all of that. I am continually growing less and less comfortable with the amount of waste... The fact that the POTUS is promoting coal power is fucking :disgust:

It would be cool to harness that into a career somehow, definitely something I've been thinking about.

As it is, I drive a wasteful 7 mpg :truk: and eat wasteful food in styrofoam containers every day :disappoint:

The :dillerman: life is burning me up right now.
B2B sales in general I would suggest. Security or other.
Industrial sales is much easier than retail, IMO. You're generally dealing with a more knowledgeable clientele than general retail :derp: s. And you tend to have a smaller, repeating customer base.

Though, I've never worked any sort of retail sales jerb so I may be full of :poop:

I was wondering about the security implications of that action.
