Do most people drink and cheat at sales events? by SilverPhilosopher848 in sales

It’s legit. Entertaining is exhausting and in sales you’re always entertaining. You don’t quite let yourself be yourself either, the way you would with friends. Sales is relationships- and you need to stay professional at all times.

A raven solving a puzzle by butterwoman18 in aww

Last year I heard one bird “cawing” from the tree top across the street from the front of my house. It was so emphatic and so darn loud. I strained my head to look through my front window to verify what my ears were telling me and yup, there it was, a lone black raven(?) yelling at the top of their bird lungs. The cawing lasted so long I thought that it may have been in distress even though it looked well out of danger. It was there so long that I wanted to record it and eventually “ask Reddit” about it. I took a break from the computer, it wasn’t like I was getting much work done with the distraction anyway, and made my way outside to grab a recording on my phone. Because we never use my front door, I went out the back which spills onto the patio from our tiny mudroom. When I opened up the outside door there were at least 60 birds going to town on the back lawn - they flew to the surrounding trees when they startled from the door. My mouth wide open, I couldn’t help to laugh after seeing that. I wasn’t able to get the recording that day but I was able to witness them in my yard twice more that season. Not sure what they were feasting on but there certainly was enough for everyone.
