Five
Minute Friday is stream of consciousness writing hosted over here.
The
word today was WIDE and we write for five minutes and post what we got without
editing (much or at all). I really like writing this way especially on a busy
day.
GO
CUBS (Sorry Gal, they stink. I’m only going for food and beverage!)
********************************
There was a time in my life that I loved to strike them! And I was good at it believe it or not. It was actually my job to negotiate and close “the deal”. It’s how I made money, my living!
I
am a long way gone from those days but every now and then I am called on to do
the deed and especially when it’s for my own benefit. I must admit I’m not as
comfortable as I once was.
I’ve
been car shopping this week because my car is not one I’d wish to hang on to
beyond its warranty, which is virtually up, and it’s sort of a lemon.
Tonight
I got all the pricing and trade in values, all the info I needed to make my
decision between two cars and tomorrow, I need to make the call and negotiate
the final deal. There’s a problem though. The gap between what I’d like to pay
and what they would like me to pay is WIDE.
It’s
not my favorite thing to do anymore but I’ll do it.
My
husband’s working. He knows I can fully handle it. He trusts me to do a decent
job with the price AND he hopes I’ll walk away if I’m not feeling it.
Uggggghhhh!
It’s
just not my favorite thing to do anymore but I’ll do it. (I know I said it
twice…)
It
used to give me a rush.
Now,
it makes me uncomfortable. Don’t’ know why. Maybe Eric will feel sorry for me and give me what I'm asking...
Wish
me luck!
Maybe
tomorrow night I’ll be smelling a new leather interior instead of one that smells like stinky dog.
