I'm insane


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

For the last three months of 2009, I couldn't find a job to save my life, so I really shouldn't complain, but....I am now working four jobs, not including my job as Huddle Badass.

One is even full time. I guess I'll be making up for the savings I lost over the past 10 months, but damn.

I tried the wait until one good job comes along approach. Kept losing out to someone's relative or friend. So now I am piecing my days together four different ways. And I bet there's some of you on here doing the same thing.

I don't know. Starting next week, I'll be working about 60 hours a week.

thats an easy week for me. I sell cars, so they require me to damn near live at the dealership..I was in management for a while until I decided it wasn't worth the stress, so now I make roughly the same money, just have a ton of free time. When I don't have a customer I literally have nothing to do, can get quite boring sometimes...

Most of the cool poo on the net is blocked, so I'm stuck on the Huddle all day waiting for you guys to post something interesting

Thought about trying that. There are like three dealerships within two miles of my house. Just afraid of doing sales. I'm not a natural bullschitter. And I don't mean that as an insult. It's a gift I don't have.

Its impossible to budget yourself and until you establish yourself as elite in the field you'll be treated like dogpoo at most dealerships. I am very gifted at it and never have the need to b.s anyone but I consider it like a gift and a curse.

It's a gift cuz sales come easy to me, but at the same time I hate sacrificing my youth up in this bitch 24/7. Also alot of us who have early success at it think were always gonna make good money every month, so we accumulate alot of debt thinking its no prob to pay back. So my required income just to pay all my bills every month is insane and now I just work my ass off and have nice things but have very little free time or disposable income

It's funny I was just watching a movie called Lifeguard, where Sam Elliott plays a lifeguard given a job selling Porsches, and the sales manager gives him all kinds of hell when he comes in for his "interview".

this industry is in a world of its own. If I have kids I will never let them do this for a living.

I've been in sales for 10 years now. I love when new sales people come in all eager. They buy into the "sky is the limit" and think it will be awesome. I think its like 70% of people who get in to sales aren't still doing it 2 years later.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
