"So now you feel bad about feeling bad? You're feeling bad twice about the same thing."
"I know, and that just makes me feel worse. It's self-perpetuating."
After displaying my most defeatist side and explaining how every so often the worst possible thing in a specific area of your life does happen, I lucked into two sales in the first hour of work this morning, which covered my whole day's telemarketing quota. In other words, I'm not fired yet.
It's not so bad, I get to talk to people all over the country every day.
"Bonjour?"
"Parlez-vous anglais?"
"Non."
"Non? Alors, vous probablement ne voulez pas un journal en anglais..."
"Non, au revoir."
"Merci beaucoup, au revoir."
(This is me trying to see the bright side.)
