I'm stuck...I have to make up my mind about something that just talking about seems so trivial..and it is, but I still need to decide anyway.  I want to get up to go snowboarding again...more then just twice this season.  I'm sure the Church will be doing their youth group trip and I'll gladly volunteer again, but knowing the season is going by so quickly I want to go...  If the weather wasn't so warm I'd go to one of the closer mountains, but with all the rain we've had I can't imagine there's much snow left.  Next weekend we're going to Myrtle Beach...the weekend after that is pretty much open (except that it's Superbowl Sunday and I have three different parties to decide on right now...) and the following weekend is a freebie followed by our Vegas trip.  It's pretty quiet the rest of the year, but if I can sneak in a few more runs then I'll do it then as well. 

I found out last night that I'm looking at a healthy bonus for the trade show and it can only go up from where it is currently.  I think I earned every penny of it as I can take credit for two definite sales...one partial and a few that talked to me for a few minutes and ended up buying anyway (I don't really count them as I doubt I had anything to do with their decision).  Maybe next year I'll get a little more detail on everything and just close them on my own...there's really no point in me passing the customer on to a sales guy who does nothing more then take their money then getting the size bonus.  I know one of my 2.5 was a 140 homes/year builder which would have been like $500 or something.  If not for the volatility of the sales market I'd actually consider going into sales, I think I like having a steady paycheck as opposed to a measly base salary and commission.

I wish I had only your choices. :)I'm glad you are having fun and doing well. Enjoy it! Take a look at this website/webcams and see if there isn't someplace in NC that you can go snowboarding. http://www.highcountrywebcams.com/webcameras_extremeSugar.htm

Dude..lay off the crack...My aunt was closer with her website...when I said I wanted to go I meant some place in a day's drive...few hours up and a few back...not a week long trip! I found a cool site called <a href=http://www.skinorthcarolina.com>SkiNC</a> and I'm going to try to go to one of those places...just over 3 hours away...
