What does your occupation require of you on a daily basis?

5 to 6 AM, get on the road to get to first appointment ( furthest from office)
8 to 9 AM get to first appointment.

Each appointment takes about 1 1/2 hours.

5 to 6 PM return to office

6 to 8 PM do paper work, fax orders into main office, make copies and call to make future appointments

That fairly well sums it up to include eating in the car since too busy to stop and eat.

And of course if you are not caught up for Sat, or if a lot of orders came in on Friday, you do it on Saturday also.

HI,
Since you posted in Sales, I was in Sales before I retired a yr ago.
My daily routine start at 7 am, ended around 10 pm, sometimes 7 days a week, with Sunday not being but about 3 or 4 hours.
Not much time to eat lunch. Was on the road most of the time, calling on prospects.
Sales requires a certain type of person, who is very outgoing, good personality, and doesn't mind learning "sales pitches" to go along with talking with someone. Also requires someone who can sell ice to those living at the South Pole!
It is sometimes a difficult profession. It's easy to "sell" something to someone when they need it or want it. But, "sales" really comes into play when trying to sell something when they don't.
