USANA? MLM? What a tiring day.

So today, my friend Maria, whom I hadn't seen in 6 or so years, picked me up at 7 in the morning to take me to a gathering of her coworkers and such. It was for me to get a feel for the possible job opportunity. Last night, I asked her what her job was, but she was very vague about it. So I decided just to go check it out, even though I had to wear my MUN clothes -__-

I dislike formality. So much. Oh, there was a lot of handshaking at the meeting/presentation(?). Handshakes are cool, but -gasp- hugs would've been better :O Who woulda thunk I'd ever say that? But anyway I don't think hugs go well with formality -_- Hah, I'll take the hugs and casualty over the handshakes and formality any day :P Jk. It's casualness, not casualty. Heh, I was just thinking about a singer who mixed up that word.

So I'm not gonna go into detail. I go into detail about other things. I don't feel like it today. My shoulder hurts from sitting for almost 6-7 hours straight. Surprisingly, I'm not that tired though. Just sore.

Anyway, what was I gonna say? Oh, USANA. That's the corporation that Maria works for. I had no idea what it was. I had heard of it from people, but I didn't really know anything about it. I was surprised to learn that it was a Multi-level Marketing company. Not particularly what I would want to be a part of. Why? Because one of the reasons I want a job is to get out of the house a little more haha.

But I paid attention to the many speakers. There were a few successful USANA folks and Jennifer Azzi (Google her. I'm not much of a pro ball fan to explain who she is). The president of the company was there too. That's why it took so long haha. It was interesting, to say the least, but I'm really not that fond of MLMs. I like hands-on work more. Shocking to hear that from myself haha. And I don't like selling things. That's so upfront and close to the consumers. The consumers scare me. But, in general, I don't like the business field or the like. I like the behind-the-scenes work more. Maybe, a stage hand :O Haha no. I don't know :P

Anyway, as hilarious as the speakers were, I couldn't help but feel a cult-like feeling in the air haha. Or maybe I should say family-like. Yeah, family sounds better. Very lively audience. Loud too. They replied to questions in unison. It was strange. So much more energetic and fervent (I don't know if those are the right words) than a high school pep rally or even a gathering of Key Clubbers high off of pixie stix and feelings of good will :O That's very shocking, imho.

I dunno. I guess I'd say they're all very supportive of each other, which is a good aspect of working with the company. But seriously, really not fond of MLMs. You never know when they're fooling you XP USANA may be one of the few companies that doesn't do that, but I don't know for sure.

Oh, I remember the not-very-PC (haha....) president said something about people not knowing what they want to do and always focusing on the negative. Or maybe it was someone else. Anyway, he/she said those people don't attract business. I don't feel positive. I mean, I'm glad this work works for some people. I don't know what I'm saying anymore haha. I would just prefer to stay away from home-based delivery services XP

If people wanna do it, they can do it. I don't think I want to. I might check it out some more, but I don't feel like it's the thing I want to do. At least not now. I want a different experience. Sales, I don't like sales. I try to stay away from sales XP Especially when products are so expensive. I wouldn't pay all that money for that stuff. I know my mom would. I think she did once with USANA. She stopped because it was so expensive.

I don't think I know many people if any who would pay for multivitamins and other dietary supplements. I know people who want jobs. If they wanna do this, they can. I won't stop them.

Ok, I totally forgot where I was going with this stuff. Mm.

I'll just say I'm eating healthier now than I did in years past. Well, when I eat anyway. I still forget to eat, but it's not as bad as it was before. I think. Since I'm not on the desktop almost 12 hours a day anymore, I remember to eat :)

But anyway, what I'm trying to get at is I don't feel like dietary supplements are necessary. True, we might not get all the nutrients we need from what we eat. But that doesn't really kill people as long as they get enough of most. Obviously, I'm not saying we should just ignore our nutritional needs. I just don't feel like spending a lot of money of this stuff that is supposed to help us and is allegedly sold by people who want to help people. Yeah, I know, some do really have the good intention of helping consumers by selling the products. But if you're trying to help consumers and make them healthier, why the hell are the products so expensive?

I don't know. I don't really have a head for value of any product. I can't even tell you how much a pack of gum costs anymore. It's just the numbers scare me. And if the numbers scare me, I don't wanna be putting those numbers in front of other people's faces -shrug- I'm weak in that way haha.


Ooh, I think I've really only been spending time on the computer typing these entries and responding to Myspace and Facebook comments. I don't even go on AIM much. Or I log on, but I'm away more often. And I'm actually away from the computer most of the time. Or I'm doing this :P

I should feel proud of myself. But right now I don't really care haha.

Yeah, I know, the last bit was not related. But I jump topics too easily and don't really defend what I'm saying (not well anyway). But people love me anyway :D Haha just kidding. But it's kinda true though: I am so frickin' lovable! :3
