I’ve been sorting out disputes between two representatives who just can’t seem to get their game together. Both seem to be overly concerned about their geographic sales area instead of actual sales.

The final chance to take a look at my comments

Tuesday, May 5, 2009 23:12 No Comments

It was a beautiful idea to show my appreciation for all those websites that I visited and where I posted a comment. Friction just became too great for me to bear and slowly my commenting was cut down to just a couple of sites that I visit frequently.
