Work, food and movies

I just finished up my second stint working for Local540 and the Fayetteville Flyer . This time around I have really been focusing on the selling Local540 to local business owners. I have gone on numerous sales meetings with my supervisor, and hence, now feel comfortable enough to talk to prospective clients about it. I developed my own sales presentation based loosely on my supervisor's, but I added some key elements that I think will really improve it. We will see. Switching back to my contractor assistant position is kind of coming at a bad time as I have really picked up some steam with Local540, then again, the extra time will get me a chance to practice and get event hat more comfortable with my sales pitch. I am by no means a salesman, so really, I need all the practice I can get.

Steph and I have been in a restaurant rut. We have been going to the same three or four places routinely for the last couple months so we have vowed to be more exploratory as far as restaurants go. Yesterday, we went to Petra Cafe . It is a local Greek restaurant, and it was freaking delicious. I got a lamb and beef gyro, side salad and a bowl of lentil soup for an extremely reasonable price. Everything was super fresh. It was awesome. For lunch today, I went to Geraldi's with my Local540 coworkers. I split a pepperoni and meatball pizza with my friend. It ruled. It was a classically good pizza, but the meatballs really set it off.

Last week we rented Man on Wire . It is about the wire walker who walked a wire between the World Trade Centers. That's all I'll say about it besides you should see it. It was outstanding. Especially since I feel like I haven't really seen anything good lately.
