I got a call from one for MF and she was fantastic. She had a great sense of humour and gave me more money because she wanted to. I kinda like that, eh?

Maritz gets such a bad rap for being outdated, their aversion to email, this new cutback in their employees' hours, etc. but I have to say that I still like working for them. I don't do much with them other than the blue bank shops - but in May alone I made $416 with them. Their schedulers are really nice and while I do wish they would drag themselves into the age of technology, for $400+ per month, I can deal.

Sometimes I wish there were more than 6 Blue Banks within my 40 mile radius. I really only shop 5 of them too since the 6th is in a town with absolutely flipping nothing in it. I've done it twice. Once when a grocery store was heavily bonused, and once when the Blue Bank was heavily bonused. I have to give up most of a Saturday and try and align the grocery store, the blue bank and the warehouse store to make it worth the drive out to the sticks. I hate giving up my Saturdays!

Oh no!!! I had forgotten about the Corp Research people being canned. I, too, really appreciated JoAnn Martin. While I never spoke with her on the phone, she was always quickly responsive, helpful, informative, and kind in her emails when I needed clarification or help of some kind. It's terrible that she (and the others) are being replaced like that.
