Ski Show Wednesday night

So I was out at the Metro Ski Show last night, it was boasted as the 'World Largest Ski Show'. What can I saw, litterally over 300 booths of people selling you shit. Skis, Boards, Goggles, vacations etc. It's cool to see whats out there, but it sucks always being hounded. I was there on another mission, to get some contacts for a 'Winter Opportunity'.

So I walk along one of the aisles and this girl comes out of no where and starts her pitch:

'high peaks, hot tub, women and fantastic skiing, enter to win!'

Jeeze it sounded like a setting for a porno film. I looked at her with a half smirk. I love doing stuff what unto others do to me :P I'm in sales. I know what shes trying to do, but I'm not falling for it.

'So what are you pitching me I asked'

'A Fantastic ski holiday in the Alps!' she says enthusiastically.

'Oh, so do I enter to win somewhere or what, you know as you can tell by my accent I don't do so well living in London'

'Yes, here just fill this out to enter our draw'

'and get spammed by crap in my inbox?'

'No we don't spam, only if you win'

'How about this, I'm looking for a serious career move, I'll clean toilets, make beds, cook, whatever need be done, for an opportunity to do the stuff you don't see in the background, for very little money by the way. Don't let my suit fool you, I've had it with White Collar occupations, I need change, who can I speak to about this'

---she looked at my kind of funny, I don't think she's ever had that pulled on her....

'Well you can take a card and email us requesting employment'.

So I took the card, said thanks and filled out her form. Hey if I can't find a Winter Opportunity then maybe I'll win a Ski Holiday at the least.
