Aiy aiy aiy - Joni DAY 5 (a.m.)

Failure Numero Uno:
Phone rings (ring! ring!)
Me: Good Morning, DL Rogers, this is Joni. (I say the last part really fast so they can't possibly make out or remember my name)
Him: Hi, who would I talk to about Pest Control at your stores?
Me: What geographic area?
Him: The Dallas Fort Worth Area
Me: Oh, we don't have any stores here. The closest store we have is in Houston.
LIE LIE LIE!
a) we do have stores here, in Duncanville
b) we don't have a single store in Houston

Oh dear. Then I said "Thanks" but that was a lie too. I didn't really feel very thankful for his call. Ugh. Stupid telemarketers.

Joni - INTRODUCTION

So, I'm going to be participating in the experiment as a truth teller.

The History:So, Radical Honesty. A radical concept. If you want to know where I got my “inspiration” (or flash of insanity, you might say) check out http://www.esquire.com/features/honesty0707. And also RadicalHonesty.com
My goal: 30 days of radical honesty. Telling the truth, no matter what, removing the filter between my brain and my mouth in some respects. Kind whenever possible, but honest nonetheless. This exercise will have two foreseeable consequences/results: 1) Possibly changing relationships around me. 2) Preventing me from doing things that I don’t want to tell the truth about.

Lets see how it goes!!
