tired

The other day I bought a Radox shower gel called Stimulate. My Get Selling skills kicked in: nice window of opportunity for purchase affirmation here, if only I worked in Wilkinson's. 'Stimulate! Ah yes, I like to stimulate myself in the shower, don't you?' I even thought of saying it to the woman at the checkout, possibly in a comedy German accent. I have been quite tired recently.

When I'm even older, will I actually say all the things that pass through my mind?

I said 'Get Selling skills' there, but sometimes I wonder if I have any. Or if anyone has any. There is much talk about 'keeping Get Selling alive', but was it ever alive? There are times when it seems that it was all a dream. A lovely dream, of course.

Because it was such a nice gentle course: it didn't really tell you what to do. Rather, it told you what it wanted you to do, and then asked you to discuss how you were going to do it. Not an approach that would work with brain surgery. 'Open up the patient's skull. What will you use? What is the impact on the patient?'

A woman came up to the counter to demand 'free gift cards'. 'What a fucking cheek!', I felt like saying (as I say, I have been tired). 'You bastards want it all for nothing, don't you?'

It turned out that she'd said 'three'.

Someone returned Trainspotting for the very good reason that it wasn't about trainspotting.
