Making lemonade..

Had my first meeting with my new boss today.  One of the first things she plonked down in front of me was my new pay scale.  When I was offered the position, I was told that my salary (yes salary, not hourly) would be minimum wage plus commission.  That's about the same as unemployment would pay me ($7.50 per hour), plus I would still HAVE A JOB.  So while I was telling the witchlets that we'd have to tighten our belts and conniving and discussing and worrying with M about how we were going to pay the bills and still be able to eat, I seemed to have forgotten that I can sell sand to the Arabs if I want.  The first bit of training (think 4 weeks here) you are paid full commission rate, or the amount of commissions they expect you to maintain.  The projected income for the position, if you make your numbers, is $55,000 per year.  Yeah...  THEY DIDN'T TELL ME THAT.  My first two paychecks as a DSR will have take home pay THREE TIMES what I normally bring home...


WIN!
