I will pre-announce myself as winner...

I work in an UNHEATED (well my side is unheated at least) warehouse full of COMPLETELY picked apart RUINED junk cars... That I'm supposed to sell parts off of... even though they have close to NO good parts left on them...

Not just that but I'm supposed to do it with NO advertising budget...

Oh and I get paid 7.50 an hour... which is the least I've made an hour since I was 17 (I'm 26 and have 2 kids and a wife now).

I also have the pleasure of getting YELLED at by my boss who's disappointed with my sales... here are some excerpts from my day...

Boss: "So, you selling anything?"
Me: "no"
Boss: "Why not?"
Me: "We don't have anything people call for"
Boss: "How many calls do you get a week?"
Me: "0-40"
Boss: "40 calls a week... you should be selling stuff"
Me: "90% of the calls have been for either JUST a front bumper... or a front bumper with headlights... ALL of our cars that HAD either of those items were robbed of them for one of our cars in a matter of seconds."
Boss: "What about engines... are you advertising engines?"
Me: "Everytime I've asked about an engine someone has told me it's no good"
Boss: "You don't have to ask about engines... if they're in a wrecked car they obvioulsy drove it into an accident."
Me: "70-85% of the cars are front ended to the point of the heads being split if not the block or a mount... the rest that HAD good engines were robbed of them for our cars in a matter of minutes"
Boss: "What about the trailer on the side of the building .... that's FULL of engines... advertise those"
Me: "My first day dave told me EVERYTHING in that trailer was junk... and that it was the junk trailer"
Boss: "I'm gunna have to talk to dave"

THE END....

Dave told him the same thing he told me ... those engines were saved to be sent in when whatever company we ordered a replacement engine for wanted an core returned to them.

Still no advertising budget NO use of any of my ideas to market the parts...

It sucks... I gotta quit soon...

It sounded like a dream till the reality of it set in... I should've just listened to all the signs saying it was going to suck early on...
