Burn out and changing careers

The last few months have taken their toll on me. The holidays are always a hard time, but this year they really seemed to drag me down. After 15 years working in the gaming industry I achieved burnout. So much so that I was actually almost glad when I was fired from my last place of employment. I was sick and tired of dealing with negative people - both co-workers and customers.

So I have changed careers. Not that I considered working in the casinos a career. It was more like I got stuck in a dead end situation and let it wear on me for too damned long.

As of last week, I now work for Mike Shaw Buick/Pontiac/GMC in Colorado Springs. That's right, I sell cars now. So if you plan on getting a new car or even a used car in the Colorado Springs area, then look me up.

I plan on making this my new career and doing damned good at it. No more will I settle for working from paycheck to paycheck. I figure if I can sell people on an intangible thing like gambling (which is basically what I have been doing for the last 15 years), then I can sell them THE vehicle they want to own. Notice I said what they want to own - not what I want to sell them. Big difference in thinking there. Plus it should be a pleasant experience for both the buyer and seller. We don't believe in beating people down to get them to buy a car there.

Anyway, that's about all I have to write about for today. I'm going to make entries into my blog more often now that I have a reason and am past the "holiday season".
