Wow....it's hard for me to believe that today is 6 month mark of my quit.

There has been a lot of ups and downs but through it all, dip never touched me.

I like many of you struggled through the first 86 days and then things became way easier. I also hit the 136 day blahs but it came and went without much incidence.

Post 140 days has been easy- so guys that are early in your struggle, just fight and hang on, 140 days is nothing and life starts getting so much easier and better.

I quit with you.
Oh little worm-dirt...you are so scary...F' OFF...!!!

Rough patch at work this week. Just found out that we are closing our Sleep Division (I'm in Medical Sales). I make about 50% of my commission in sleep so I have no idea what I am going to do.

I took my wife to a nice dinner and explained it to her. We are both freaking out. I also drank about 6 Martinis and for about a 5 minute period, I told myself I was going to get a can on the way home. Who cares at this point...right?

I got up, went to the bathroom, got my tools in order and said fuck off Nic Bitch....I may be willing to screw myself right now but not everyone who has helped me. I put my big boy pants on and went home.

Minny and his 1+1= 2 theory kept ringing in my head.

ParadigmDawg-Day 138!
So yesterday I found out that my company is closing it's doors on January 8, I feel just devastated and sick to my stomach.

I got on here to post something and feel sorry for myself and complain. I read the intro updates on "TxTornadoinOK" and realized just how lucky I am. I lost a job, big freaking deal....I will get another one.
The closing of my company was pushed back to the 13th of this month so that helps a little.

Key people are finally back in office after the holidays so I was able to get some interviews set up. I have been on two so far and have two more set up.

One of the ones I interviewed at ended up going in a whole different direction. It was with a similar Medical company, like I am with now and after my interview the manager asked if I could hold on and walked out of the room. Thirty minutes later the owner of the company came in and asked if he could speak with me.

We ran through all the details of who I am again and then he said that he had no interest in hiring me as a Medical Sales Rep.

One thing you never do is tell a top rep in his field, is that he is not wanted so I let him have it. I threw out the number of sells that his reps have in each account I share with them and compared it to my production.

I showed him proof that I was producing the equal to two of his reps and I was starting to get fired up and really go to town. He then said hold on...hold on....I have no doubt that you would be my best rep but I have bigger plans than that.

He then told me of a second company is is opening and asked me if I could roll it out for him at a national level. We spoke for a couple of hours and we both seem pretty excited about it.

The only issue is that it's still a little ways into the future and I need a job within a month or so. We are exploring ways to get me in the door early but we really have to wait and see as he is not finished with his fund raising yet.

Regardless guys, please keep me in your prayers. I will continue on with my other interviews and try my best to land the right job.

I never would have made it through this without the support of KTC and all of you who watch over me. The Nic bitch thought she had a shot at me this time but she was no more than an annoying little gnat.

Jeremy, thanks for everything you did for me, that was huge and I owe you brother.
Well, I accepted this position a couple of days ago as a National Corporate Account Manager. I really wanted to be done with traveling but the package offer is just pretty much impossible for me to turn down. He bumped my start date up to Feb 3rd plus my current company keeps pushing the close date back and now it's supposed to be the week of Jan 20th. I am starting to love free money.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers guys!!!!!
Congrats dawg. Well done! Show them how it's done now. If you ever make it to kc look me up.
And this is where the saying " when one door closes another opens" comes from..... It's nice when you are good at your job. In sales, your record can always be measured and it makes you so much more marketable. It's inspiring to see how you have handled this change and stayed quit in the process.
Greg,
Congrats, I have learned that my tendency to always tell people what I think when prompted works out. Granted not everyone wants to hear what I have to say or how but there is never a question about what I thought.

I'm damn proud of you for showing your teeth and glad that it helped open a door for you. I like you have needed the support we get here from our brothers and sisters in quit.

Good work brother and congrats!

You got it brotha man. This is what we're all about. Quit with you every damn day. Thoughts and prayers that this thing gets better in a hurry.

Rough patch at work this week. Just found out that we are closing our Sleep Division (I'm in Medical Sales). I make about 50% of my commission in sleep so I have no idea what I am going to do.

I took my wife to a nice dinner and explained it to her. We are both freaking out. I also drank about 6 Martinis and for about a 5 minute period, I told myself I was going to get a can on the way home. Who cares at this point...right?

I got up, went to the bathroom, got my tools in order and said fuck off Nic Bitch....I may be willing to screw myself right now but not everyone who has helped me. I put my big boy pants on and went home.

Minny and his 1+1= 2 theory kept ringing in my head.

ParadigmDawg-Day 138!
So yesterday I found out that my company is closing it's doors on January 8, I feel just devastated and sick to my stomach.

I got on here to post something and feel sorry for myself and complain. I read the intro updates on "TxTornadoinOK" and realized just how lucky I am. I lost a job, big freaking deal....I will get another one.
Oh little worm-dirt...you are so scary...F' OFF...!!!

150 freaking days without a dip...

It caught me off guard this morning as I posted roll. The first 100 day milestone felt more like 100 years but this next 50 just flew by.

I am half way to my second goal and then I can start my 300 day goal.

When we tell the newbie's that it does get better, it really does. I'm not sure you can even pinpoint when it gets easier but I guess you just sign on, to post roll one day and then your like....freak...I'm at 150 Futha Mucking days...then you pat yourself on the back and go help someone else quit.
