Equal parts Yay and Boo

[wordinista]

First, the YAY:

I finished Organizational Behavior last night and I think I did all right.  First class I truly enjoyed.

My jury duty excuse was accepted. (I didn't mention it when I got the summons, but basically I got a summons for Federal Court in Orlando and would have had to drive 50 miles each way for jury duty. Yeah. Not.  And especially not with the price of gas the way it is, mygod.)

My cousin and his family are visiting for the week.  This makes me happy, and I'm heading over to spend time with them as soon as I finish this.

Now the BOO:

My next class is going to top me like a merciless topping thing.  It's called Strategy and Management, and I have a list of assignments I have to complete before the first class.  Ogod.

Tora is... having trouble with work.  See, as most of you know, he works as a software developer for a startup company.  However, their biggest client, an HMO, just got royally screwed by CMS (the government organization that oversees HMOs).  They've essentially been shut down.  No more client.  This means that the company may not survive past January 2008, unless they get a slew of new clients to replace the big one.  So they needed someone to do sales.  No problem there, a friend of Tora's is GREAT with sales and agreed to do some work on commission.  Except she just called Tora and had to back out because of health problems having to do with her elderly mother.  So now Tora is telling me he may ask me to do some cold call sales and... words do not express how much that terrifies me, because I know I suck at sales, and I don't want to tell him no, because this is A DIRE SITUATION, but I kind of suspect that he really doesn't want my help, because I'm just that bad at sales.

So.  Anyone know a good salesperson interested in some commission work?  Because I'm at a loss.

I drove fifty miles each way for six months. It does sucks, but on the other hand, not doing it does not suck.
