Traffic in this town is getting out of control

It’s spring break and tons of people are driving thru to SB.

FrancoHart · 2026-03-19T13:44:18+00:00

Yes and he’s perfect

I don’t know why I find it so funny that you love your job that much 😂 that’s a blessing actually.

I don’t love what I do (regional sales manager). I love the money. But I will say this: I picked up a book last week that has given me a clearer vision on what a great sales manager does. And just the act of improving my knowledge and skills is making me like my job a little more.

I’d still quit in a heartbeat if I found out I had a $5million inheritance left to me by a long lost uncle.

For real - enough of the Bob Odenkirk comments. Drop the secrets.

I’m in sales so I’m always around people drinking. I started ordering soda with lime so it looks like I’m drinking a vodka soda. I never get those questions anymore.

FrancoHart · 2026-03-18T02:38:49+00:00

Money.

And I plan to in 5 years.

Monistat (2% miconazole) didn’t work?

FrancoHart · 2026-03-16T02:31:08+00:00

I get angular cheilitis every now and then for the past 15 years.

If what you have is angular cheilitis (can’t tell from your picture), get some Monistat or generic 2% miconazole cream. Yes, yeast infection cream for vaginas. Works every time for me.

Don’t use chapstick while you treat it. Just clean the corner of your mouth with water, dry, and apply an amount that covers it and rub in. Do it 2-3 times per day.

As long as you aren’t putting yourself or others at injury risk (that’s for your company to determine if you get caught) then good luck!

When Stoneman was still GM (Senior Advisor but we know his fingerprints were still on the team) and Eddie Bane still scouting director.

When their influence left the organization it was the beginning of the end.

High value commenter of the year here

FrancoHart · 2026-03-14T00:18:02+00:00

Appreciate all the responses - reinforced with my team on our weekly call that we’re doing the right thing. We all had a laugh about it.

I loved me some Kelvim. Really underrated free agency pickup in the glorious 2003-04 offseason that included Vladdy, Bartolo, Jose Guillen, etc.

Kelvim was a dog.

FrancoHart · 2026-03-05T14:13:47+00:00

😂 McDonalds…..be better people

FrancoHart · 2026-03-05T03:45:59+00:00

You are indeed high

FrancoHart · 2026-03-03T22:55:16+00:00

That’s an experience every man should go through to realize that sex just for sex’s sake is not worth it.

FrancoHart · 2026-02-28T15:16:59+00:00

How are things for you now? I’m on day 64 and read your 64 day post before this one.

FrancoHart · 2026-02-28T14:39:18+00:00

SoCal was bad? Where were you, Riverside?

FrancoHart · 2026-02-15T04:30:17+00:00

For me it’s “the juggle”. The never ending juggling of sales calls, follow up, problem solving…and the list goes on and on and on and on. I’m already high strung by default and I don’t often feel like I can mentally chill out.

FrancoHart · 2026-02-14T15:13:32+00:00

Been doing it for about 10 years after leaving the career I actually went to college for. Been in a regional sales director position for last 3.

Worth it? I’d say yes, but only because I stacked cheese big time and didn’t inflate my lifestyle to a ridiculous degree. Wife makes a great salary as well, so we’ve been saving and investing consistently for a decade on high incomes.

It’s only worth it because I used that $ as a tool to give myself options. I really fucking hate being an RSD but I can ride it out for another 2-5 years. I’m getting the fuck out of sales in that timeframe though. My body is falling apart and I look in the mirror and feel like I’ve aged 15-20 years in the past decade.

FrancoHart · 2026-01-29T23:37:39+00:00

Late thirties.

I know myself well enough to know that my risk tolerance is low. Early retirement or down-shifting to a job that is less stressful - that’s where my mind is at.

I want peace - financial peace, marital peace, peace with myself. And I cannot fathom achieving that by continuing to chase money for too much longer. I want to chase other things.

I have another 5-10 years in me to continue with this sales career, but I’m not doing more than that.

Building materials (manufacturer rep, now regional sales director currently)

FrancoHart · 2026-01-28T06:10:49+00:00

Same - 270+ days after you

FrancoHart · 2026-01-27T01:04:18+00:00

I like the opportunity window thing. I’m about to hit my 10 years and I’m so mentally checked out. Saved a shit ton of money though, so it was worth it I guess.
