I'm in the process of obtaining accounts now. If I go out to their location, i'm "wasting gas". If I cold call them, it's "well that doesn't seem effective, why are you doing it?" When I try to explain, I get "whatever, just do what you want"

It sucks not having support from your other half. I reckon with 3 kids we are kind of testy, especially with me getting less than 2 hours of sleep last night....either way. It's frustrating. Yes she stays at home with the kids. Yes that's important. But i'm out doing "my part". I shouldn't be hassled about it and told that i'm doing it wrong.



GAH.

This should not come as a shock to you as everyone knows Scrap prices are not like they used to be like when the peak of the war was happening in Iraq and afganinstan. Bottom line get a real JOB. You Can Not make ends meet right now with having a baby and a wife. Scapping wont take care of your family Bud. unless you own your own scrap yard your just living off false hope's. Sorry to crash your Little scrap dreams but someone's gotta give it to you straight. Time to grow up and be a big boy and get a real job. Scrapping is OK. Just not as a full time job when you got a wife and kid to feed.
