finally, i'm able to do something about my ridiculous caffeine addiction. today was the 2nd day i used modafinil, and i only had 1/8 of the amount of coffee i usually have, to make my body not go into complete shock from withdrawal. Despite 200mg of moda supplementation today, i was nauseated the entire day, and overall just mentally foggy and physically dragging. if it weren't for the moda, i wouldn't have been able to get through yesterday or today. i also got a taste for how bad my addiction really is. the withdrawals are on par with nicotine as far as difficulty is concerned.
So anyway, here's to beating this caffeine dependence once and for all.
things are going better work wise. I'm starting to think more like a "company man" rather than an employee. i seem to have gotten a "leave no stone unturned" mentality, whereas before, i would quickly give up in the pursuit of something if i didn't obtain it in my first or second attempt.
now, when it comes to extracting information from a manager, i've found it best to approach one of the staff first, who are like the "gatekeeper". chat them up for a while, talk about their job, what the company does, and try to get as much of the information i need from them as possible. Then I talk to the manager, and our conversation can be mostly about business, instead of me asking 15 questions in a row. Even though sometimes I end up feeling like I'm interrogating them, they still relinquish the information I require. I think it's an attribute indicative of "Maximum Sales Success" within BASE. Even when they walk away before I have all my information, I say "REAL QUICK, i know you're busy, but i need X piece of information"... whereas before, I would have been simply content with having their phone number and calling them later for the remaining information I required.
It's fun to walk up to people who are so curious as to wtf i'm doing there, catch them on their guard, then talk for a bit, and watch their guard gradually come down. it's like a game. i'm adding valuable nuggets of information and techniques to file away for when i may need to use them to cold approach women later
