And another week has come and gone, and I haven't posted a thing. Nothing worth posting has come up. Although, I was at Sun City on Monday and Tuesday, compliments of my employer who held the annual "Sales University" there. And had a good run at the casino too, taking home ZAR3000.00 more than I started with.
Be that as it may, it's just a drop in the bigger scheme of things.
This week I again approached the Hyundai dealership with a view to trade in the VW Kombi on a Tuscon. They offered me ZAR135k for the VW, and ZAR180k was wanted for a 2007 Tuscon. Do the deal I said. Came back to me today to say my VW isn't a 2005 model, it's a 2004, so they offered me ZAR25k less! Oh, well, in that case, no deal. I could have sworn the VW was a 2005 - tough cookie I suppose. Means I'm keeping the VW!
GMan is away for the weekend on leadership camp. This is where the school take about 50 kids from the schools Grade 11's away for the weekend to access their leadership qualities. Most, about 80% will / should be selected for prefects for next year! Good luck my boy.
His midyear report card was ok, but could / needs to do better in maths. Methinks he has been taking things a bit too easy of late.
LuckyL brought home his best effort yet! Well done my boy, and thank you!
Most of you don't know this but I have an older sister, who turns 50 this coming Sunday. Problem is we haven't spoken for, oh I don't know, 18 - 24 months? Anyway, I think I'll get the boys to send her their wishes, better still, they can give her a call. They haven't seen her for the same period.
I have my second interview with the other company this Monday. Hope it goes well, but it should. Some comments on my previous post allude to the fact that my current employer probably wont make a counter offer is I get an offer from this second company. They may well be right, but the facts are we are now very short staffed, down to below the minimum required, i am the salesman with the most experience currently in the market (for this employer) AND HAVE A VERY HIGH HIT RATE AND SUCCESS RATE. THE QUESTION IS, CAN THEY ACTUALLY AFFORD TO LET ME GO? NOT THAT I THINK I AM INDISPENSABLE. Can they really afford to lose another salesman, and replace me with an inexperienced person? Somehow, I think not. Or maybe, I hope not. Then again, maybe the offer I get (if I get one) might not be much higher than I currently earn, in which case, why shouldn't they match it. if it's that much higher that they can't, well, why would I want to stay?
More to come.
Salagatle!
