She came to deliver some stuff and I gave her a little "goodie bag". She was talking about how she really doesn't like her job, and how did I like mine. Of course, I told her "I LOVE my job, wanna learn more?" And she said YES!!!! WOOHOO!!
 
Rock on, sister!
 
Oh my gosh!!! That's SO cool! I'll need to give my FedEx guy a little goodie bag next time I see him.
 
What do you put in your goodie bags?
 
Mine knocked and ran :(
 
All right! Great way to network!
 
What a great thing to happen. You will have to keep us updated on the results and how it all goes.
 
How awesome for you! Congratulations!
 
Congrats! That is awesome! My UPS fill-in lady said that she is moving into a new house in the Spring, but when I offered her a catalog and show she completely refused! Just take the catalog and throw it away like everyone else does!! LOL!
 
Fed ex has huge benefits though, wow great if she signs. I know its all about loving your job but WOW. Surprising. What is in the goodie bag.
I have bags ready for my neighboors. They have a coupon that says book to look in my goodie basket for a prize.

I was grabbing anything I could find. I think I ended up with a small spatula, some tongs, a citrus peeler, and a miniwhip. And, of course, any brochures I could dig up FAST!! I only signed about a month ago so I don't even have a recruit pack ready. And, I am expecting more stuff tomorrow and Friday and she said she IS working tomorrow AND Friday. I will make sure I have some info ready for her.
 
That's cool. My Fed Ex grump is about 70 & is ticked at the world b/c his retirement job got bought out by another company & he lost his pension. So he has to work b/c he didn't save any money besides the pension. I feel badly for him, but he doesn't need to be cranked at me! :) Sorry - side vent.

Anyway, do you still have the DVD that came with changeover? Give that to her to watch!!!!
 
Holy Cow!! That is awesome! Congrats!!!!
 
That is great!!! Good for you for being prepared to do business at all times.
And you know...what the commercial said, "The lady drives a Big Truck!"
(or close to a big truck I guess). LOL

I just thought yesterday that I need to approach my mail lady who my dh calls "Speedy"
