A Saleswoman Came To My Door
First I hear a door bell, then more knocking, a pause and more knocking. Well, I come to the door and there is this woman with a clipboard. Right away I am thinking, salesperson.
Well, I say, Hello. Right away she does her qualifying question, Are you the person in charge of handling the P.G. and E. bills? P.G. and E is Pacific Gas and Electric. I say, Yes. Then I tell her I really like P.G. &E. Then I say that I don't want to work with people that are not with P.G. & E.
She tells me she works with P.G.&E. and that she wants me to get the lowest possible price for my electricity. Then I cut her off saying that my electricity is already really low.
Then I tell her that I just need electricity for my refrigerator and freezer and that I use LED lights. I forgot to tell her I need electricity for my computers. You see I don't want to buy whatever she is selling, so I sell her on how I don't need what she has.
Then she tells me that it will help save on gas. Then I tell her that I cut off the pilot on my furnace back in 2014 and that I bought a pickup truck for about $1000 and I put a little more money into it so that I can have a vehicle that I can use to pick up wood.
I tell her that I use the Craigslist free ads and look for ads that want to give away firewood. I even pointed across the street to that neighbor that cut down his tree and gave me the wood of that tree.
I was going to tell her that I even put my water heater on vacation, but she said, Maybe you aren't interested in saving money with your energy, but what about gift cards.
I tell her I don't want any gift cards. Then she asks me why? I tell her cause, if I accept any gift cards, there is always strings attached.
Then she tells me that there are no strings attached, I just have to sign something.
I tell her, see strings, I have to sign something.
Well, that girl could see she wasn't going to make a sale with me and starts to walk away.
Then I try to sell her as she is walking away. I say, by the way, do you like to write? She starts walking back to me, wanting clarification. I ask her again if she likes to write, like in writing blogs.
I told her that if she writes blogs and if people give her upvotes she may get a chance to make some cryptocurrency. She told me that she likes to write, but that she didn't want to write blogs. I ask if she likes to journal, but she just smiled and walked away.
I was going to tell her more about Steemit, but maybe I'll do that on the next salesperson that comes to my door.
