I have a shit ton of crazy stories, from people cooking meth in the kitchen while I can see from the living room, to house wifes answering the door with nothing on. Craziest was re-hashing (our term for getting shit from someone) a working hot tub that was in good condition.

Worked for a company called CydKor that was contracted to AT&T. Main office was LA but I got hired at an SD branch that just opened. So I worked mostly SD but would take trips to LA like once a month to work for a week and do seminars and shit. meth house was on Market and Skyline in SD, a sketchy area. I hit a lot of Del Mar and Carlsbad then everything from Beverly Hills to the boonies on the outskirts of the Redlands lol. --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X <cite>Zeeak4444 posted [p:959627852] in imagine be...

I feel like you have to be completely out of options and have no shame to do this. no shame for sure, options not so much. I was making upwards of 5k a week at times, which is why I was able to make it through weeks with 0. like one week I was in a neighborhood where no one spoke English and the few that had their kid translate didnt have an SSN or anything so we couldnt sell to them anyways. So 5 days with 0 dollars, about an hour commute each way too. But the week before I was in Coronado and had pulled 3.5k while only working 3 days. so honestly the high highs kept me in it longer than anything. When I finally left I ended up taking like a 30k loss for the next 3-4 years before working my way into an industry that closed that gap. I was also like 19-22 so the options thing prob had more to do with it then I originally thought. --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X <cite>Zeeak4444 posted [p:959632680] in imagine be...
