I never slept last night and have to work from 9 am to 9 pm today. I think what got my night off to a bad start was that I felt bad that Natalie might have thought I was making fun of her family names. Then later I got to thinking about all of my previous relationships. What I could have done and what I might have done that I don't remember. I think the worse thing about old girlfriends and wifes are the things you didn't do. Not being there or listening or even enjoying the moment. You can't go back and do something you wished you did. I wonder if we alll think about those things. Maybe I just like to torture myself.
I'm still amazed that I didn't sleep. I actually feel pretty good because I did some writing. I just had an expresso and am treating it as if it were any other morning. My plan is to sleep in the back of the Pheaton today. It's a $75,000 sedan with rear massaging and air cooled seats. With the sun screens pulled up even in the middle of the show room floor no one will know I'm in it. Its price is usually too steep for people to even look inside of it. They usually run into and say something like, "$75,000 for a VW!". If I want to be a smart ass I might say something like the new pope just sold his VW Golf for $229,000. It's funny but speaking of religous leaders the biggest buying market for the Pheaton's are religious leaders. When I tell people that they look puzzled even though the reason why is so obvious. I then explain to them that it's because on paper and pulpit when they say they drive a vw it sounds a lot better than BMW or Mercedes. No one expected that a VW would cost between $75,000 - $120,000. I think only 300 of them have been sold so far this year in North America. My General Manager doesn't want me to leave for a more prosperous dealership. She believes if I can hang in there for the new body style Passat's (due in 2 weeks), GTI's, Beetles, and the all new hardtop convertable Jetta's then it'll pay off. I've been selling a good number of Subaru's since they opened the floor up. It's a totally different buyer.
I'm getting hungry. I think before I go into work I'll get a blueberry danish, orange juice, and triple expresso. That should hit the spot and keep me going strong for a few more hours.
