Made 200 calls per day.

Yes I would be awful at sales. I did it for two weeks at ADT out of school and absolutely hated it. Not extroverted enough. Perfect job for the right personality though.

What is ADT? Is that like Agent Orange or something?

CP always looking for server upgrade dollars:-)

Home Security. Kind of like a more sophisticated Agent Orange

Well before the age of cell phones, in the late '70 and early'80s I used to make phone calls to verify employment. There was an expectation that most calls you'd end up talking to a person. 100 calls under those conditions was a productive day.

200 is a lot if you end up talking to a human for a significant fraction of them.

Was this before your 20 years in IT?

I only have a bag of Fritos in mine.

Awesome!! If I made bank I'd buy a farm and raise cattle when not at work. To each is their own.

In Scho’s defense, plenty of people post on CP about their luxury fishing rigs, new guns, expensive cars, card collections, etc. He’s probably excited to share that he’s getting rewarded for a job presumably well done, and telling family and friends about a raise and bonus like that could bring out the leeches in your life, so he shares it anonymously here.

What do you sell, and what new hobby do you plan to blow the money on?

I’m not believing this until the OP posts his next paystub here.

When you do, contact me, as I can supply a farm and cattle both, in beautiful Southern Kansas! :-)

Reloaded my gourmet cigars. 165 for a little over $1,100.

I'll treat a few people to dinners.

I'll send my nieces and nephew a nice variety of gift cards for Xmas.

Might rent an AirBnB for the Bills game for the group.

I'm not a collector of anything other than experiences.

I might take a vacation in January to Cayman Islands. Been there twice before.

You mean you got a new job? What job gives a raise of 65k? Are you talking commission potential?
