Sizzling Timberwolves đŸș nĂ€dal 2

Iga nĂ€dal proovime edaspidi tuua siia kĂ”igilt mingi meeldejÀÀvama loo vĂ”i ĂŒldmuljed möödunud nĂ€dalast. Teise nĂ€dala postitus tuleb kerge hilinemisega, aga oli vÀÀrt ootamist


Karoliina: Ühel pĂ€eval avastasin kell 16:00, et mu kottist on vĂ€lja kukkunud mu lunchbox. See tĂ€hendas, et Ă”htusööki mul polnud. LĂ€ksin korra otsima, aga otsustasin, et vahet pole ja teen tööd edasi. PĂ€rast tööd koju sĂ”ites mĂ”tlesin terve tee, et kuhu ma oma lĂ”una panen homme, sest rohkem karpe mul pole. JĂ”udsin koju ja ĂŒtlesin Pillele, mis juhtus. Selle peale ta vastas, et mulle anti tĂ€na ĂŒhest perest karbiga sĂŒĂŒa kaasa. Seega juhuse tahtel samal pĂ€eval, kui mina oma karbi kaotasin, sai Pille uue, mida kasutada sain.

Oskar: SĂ”itsin mööda maanteed ja jĂ€rsku jookseb karu ĂŒle tee, siis mĂ”ne aja pĂ€rast igasugused jĂ€nesed ja hirved ning kĂ”ige tipuks tulivihane kalkun – Welcome to Minnesota!

Conrad: Kuna meil poistega HQs korralikku voodit polnud ja magasime lihtsalt pĂ”randal mattidel siis leidsin endale tööalalt lahenduse. Kolmandal pĂ€eval koputasin ĂŒhe maja uksele ja sealt tuli vĂ€lja ĂŒks natukene vanem mees nimega Steve. Istusime tal aeda maha ja hakkasin rÀÀkima, et millega siis tegelen ja kust pĂ€rit olen jne. RÀÀkisime mĂ”ned minutid sellist head muhedat juttu. Siis tĂ€pselt enne kui jĂ”udsin talle raamatuid nĂ€itama hakata ĂŒtles ta, et kuule ma ikkagi ei taha su raamatuid. Aga uuris niisama edasi Eesti kohta ja arutasime muid maailma asju. Siis uuris ta kus me siis ööbime. Ning suunas mu pilgu nĂ€puga aia serva poole, kus lebas ĂŒks diivan. Ja ĂŒtles, et nĂ€ed
 see on sulle. Vast kulub marjaks Ă€ra teile poistega. Pakkus ka ise vĂ€lja, et tule Ă”htul pĂ€rast tööpĂ€eva lĂ”ppu siit lĂ€bi. TĂ”stame diivani trucki peale ja viime Ă€ra. Kokkulepitud. Õhtul lĂ€ksingi siis pĂ€rast lĂ”petamist Stevei juurde tagasi. TĂ”stsime diivani tema pick-up trucile taha kasti ja minu ratta veel salongi tahaistmele ning sĂ”itsime meie kodu poole. NĂ”nda saingi ĂŒlejÀÀnud nĂ€dalaks endale hea monusa magamisaluse.

Kelly-Ly: Töö pole ĂŒldse nii raske kui arvasin. See sama lihtne kui lihtsaks selle ise mĂ”tled ja mis attitudega oled. Usa inimesed chillid ja ilm hea!

Daniel: Tegin rahulikult ĂŒhele empsile approachi, too kuulas huviga ja siis tuli ĂŒks 3 aastane poiss ja lĂŒkkas tuimalt uksega slammi😂
——
Ühele pĂ€eval oli gravy tĂ€ielik kaos, 5-6 mĂŒĂŒgimeest ĂŒhes turfis vĂ”idu jooksmas, 2 roofingu kutti, 1 exteriori oma, 2 security oma, ĂŒks tegi mingit auto hail damage parandust ka ning kaks tegid ĂŒldse oma poliitilist kampaaniat. Korralik vĂ”istlus kĂ€is kes enne uksele koputabđŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł

Ott: Olles kaks aastat juba seda tood teinud, oli esimese nadala tipp hetketeks politsei jaoskonna ja city halli kulastamine, seal enda tutvustamine ja county sheriffi Jasoniga pildi tegemine. Omamoodi pull oli ka jooga mattidel magamine.

Caspar: Juba esimesest pĂ€evast Duluthis koputamisest tĂ”id inimesed Eestit mainides vĂ€lja nime Paul Vesterstein, kes pidavat olema tuntud tegelane siin linnas ning endiselt veel edasi tegutseb. Nime kuulsin nii mina kui ka Conrad iga pĂ€ev vĂ€hemalt kolm korda, ehk huvi selle salapĂ€rase linnalegendi kohta suurenes iga korraga ning iga inimene teadis temast midagi uut rÀÀkida. HĂ€rra pidavat olema juba oma ĂŒheksakĂŒmnendates ning ĂŒhel pĂ€eval kohtasin ma meest nimega Rich, kes vĂ€idetavalt kunagi, kui tolleaegne Eesti president (nime ta ei mĂ€letanud) siin pojaga Paulil kĂŒlas kĂ€is, oli pojaga tennist mĂ€nginud ning teadis nĂ€idata kaardi pealt Pauli Duluthi kodu asukohta. Juhuslikult jĂ€i see hoone minu jĂ€rgmise nĂ€dala turfi, ehk jĂ€in huviga uut esmaspĂ€eva ootama


Annabel: Seeee on safari!! đŸŠ“đŸ…đŸŠŒđŸ†đŸ«đŸžđŸŠŸđŸȘłđŸ đŸĄđŸ” Lugu kiire ja lĂŒhike. See nĂ€dal ma sĂ”itsin koos hirvedega koju. TeisipĂ€eval lĂ€ksid kilpkonnad ĂŒle tee. Siis nĂ€gin vöötoravaid jaaa musti pruune ja halle oravaid, 3 rotti ja 1 hiirt. KĂ”ik elus. Lol. NĂ€dala lĂ”pus nĂ€gin 3 kalkunit ja ĂŒhte kobrast.
Tausta loomaaed. Soovitan!

Pille: Minu esimese nÀdala kÔige lahedam lugu on kindlasti auto saamisest.
Istusin perega ja isal oli ĂŒks sĂ”ber kĂŒlas. LĂ€ksin sealt vĂ€lja ja hakkasin rattaga Ă€ra sĂ”itma. Isa ja ta sĂ”ber tulid ka Ă”ue, kĂ”netasid mind “ohh, sa eestist, niii lahe” jne. Siis sĂ”ber mainis, et ta tegeleb kanuumatkade korraldamisega ja ma kĂŒsisin kohe ta numbrit, et mingiks pĂŒhapĂ€evaseks seikluseks seda vĂ”imalust kasutada. Ma Ă”pin ise Rekreatsioonikorraldust ehk meie erialad natuke ka kattuvad. Siis nad vaatasid mu ratta poole “sa sĂ”idad rattaga ringi, sa vist elad siin lĂ€hedal”, mille peale ma naljaga kĂŒsisin, et kas nad teavad kedagi, kes mĂŒĂŒb autosid odavalt, mille peale isa sĂ”ber nĂ€itas valge BMW 328i suunas “ma lĂ€hen tĂ€na 2 kuuks Alaskale ja see on minu auto, mida keegi ei kasuta”. Sellel hetkel tuli mul meelde hommikul loetud “Kuidas vĂ”ita sĂ”pru ja mĂ”jutada inimesi”, et kui sa midagi tahad, siis pead teises inimeses huvi Ă€ratama, mitte enda soovist rÀÀkima. Ehk umbes 5-minutilise tutvumise peale ĂŒtlesin, et ma olen huvitatud ja rÀÀkisin, kuidas autol ei oleks hea seista ja ma hoiaksin seda 2 kuud puhtana (see oli kĂŒllaltki must) + maksaksin renti ja nĂ€itasin pilti, et Eestis olin sama autoga sĂ”itnud pikalt. Mitte sĂ”nagi sellest, et mul oleks mugav töötada ja raamatuid deliverdada. Ta natuke naeris ja polnud kohe kindel, kas 2 kuuks tahab laenata seda mulle. Ma aitasin tal natuke otsustada, öeldes: “proovime nii, et ma kasutan seda pĂŒhapĂ€eval ja kui ma selle terve (ja puhtana) tagasi toon, vaatame rendivarianti edasi”. MĂ”eldud-tehtud! PĂŒhapĂ€eva Ă”htul nĂ€itasin terve auto sellele isale (sest sĂ”ber oli Alaskal) ette ja rÀÀkisin telefoniteel Alaska-mehega. Ta otsustas, selle 2 kuuks minule anda tasuta. Ja siin ma olen – sĂ”idan valge bemmiga, mille sain suvalise ukse tagant tasuta ja mille tagastan 12.augustil 🙂

Sizzling Timberwolves đŸș first week in “the land of the free”

So here we go, first week of the summer, we are here now, no turning back


The week started off with us waking up at our hotel in Nashville and after a hearty breakfast it was time to start walking up the hill, under the boiling đŸ„” Nashville sun with our bags in our hands and blue SW shirts now on, ready to start the summer off with a company tour by our DSL Timo ❀. Having seen the superstar wall and agreeing that it lacked a few wolves, we knew what we would need to aim for this summer. After the tour it was time to catch some quick cycles and approaches (as all TOP FY do 😎) whilst waiting in line to get our ID pictures taken. Pictures ✅, Mort’s statue touched for good luck ✅, it was time to start move into our HQ for the next few days, which would end up being the Sonesta Nashville Airport hotel, where our sales school would also be held. The day ended with a quick org meeting and meal prep for the week coming up. 22:59 meant that it was time to shut off lights and try to get some shut-eye, whilst anxiety tried it’s best to stop that from happening. Eventually it faded away, but then.

🚹 6:59 🚹 IT’S LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO, THE RACE TO THE BATHROOM BEGAN 🏎. Everyone was eager to feel the energizing and cold đŸ„¶ shower, which helps get every Bookpersons day get started in the best way possible- naked and afraid. Then it was time to put on your outfit, grab your lunch and sprint to breakfast, whilst getting some approaches done in the waiting line. After quickly devouring the egg and sausage breakfast sandwich, that became a staple of every morning, we finally got our hands on our weapons arsenal for the summer- the book bag, filled with educational tools that not even the most narrow-minded Mrs. Jones could say no to. Then it was time to get sales school started with a speech from (read in a excited Ryan Davies voice) YOUR PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANYYYYY, DAN MOOOOOOOOOREEEEE. Dan was followed by many of the already familiar names like Ranol, Andres, Madis and Timo, who talked about the different parts of sales talk. Lunch was next up, and it was time to get a sweat on 💩, because doors đŸšȘ won’t knock on themselves and the daily training session has started. Under the hot sun ☀, we quickly realized the importance of drinking as much water as possible and using sunscreen
 at least some of us did, the other’s resembled more Larry the Lobster 🩞 at the end of the day, but hey, that’s what school is for right- hard in training easy in battle. The day was wrapped up with a evening session and org meeting, where Kelly Ly, was crowned the queen 👾 of approaches, by gaining 130 points! After a quick shower and technical reading it was time to pass out horizontally on the bed, that had never felt comfier and warmer until


🚹5:59🚹, and I wish it was a typo, the alarm rang and everyone sprinted to be the first one to be graced by the cold water of champions. As just before stepping out we realized that Ott had accidentally put the alarm an hour before the actual wake up time, so we just decided to go back to bed, and of course not an extra minute of sleep was gotten that morning. 6:59 it was again time to do the same routine as the day before, eat breakfast, do some door demos and get the day rolling with some words from Ryan, Dan, Ranol and Veiko. After that the burning Nashville sun was ready to embrace us for lunch and outside practice. No pain, no gain, so we ran đŸƒâ€â™‚ïž, knocked and perfected our sales talk, until it was time for another evening session and Fire Chat by Lee McCroskey, whose lively story about his first year on the field, had everyone on an emotional roller coaster of tears, laughter and relatability, when talking about his friends at home and stories of “character-building days”, where giving up just wasn’t an option. Org meeting to end the day where Karoliina was announced as the winner of the door demo contest. So it was yet again time to get some well earned sleep


Day 3, here we go again
 6:59, not a minute earlier or later. Breakfast, followed by morning speakers, lunch, daily practice and the main part of the day
 Men and Women meetings of course. The men, gentle and vulnerable creatures as they are, had a cultured chat about how to stay safe from the potential dangers of the book-streets and what to wear, whilst the women were in the middle of the parking lot, shirts off and imitating our primal ancestors with noises that are unexplainable here
 or was it the other way around đŸ€”. Nevertheless it was an important chat for everyone, which was followed by yet another Fire Chat, this time from CEO Dustin Hillis, whose entrance had everyone hyped and on their feet. After his talk everyone left the room full of inspiration and endless notes, that were perfect for reading right before going to sleep


FINAL DAY OF SALES SCHOOL. Same time, same morning routine, same breakfast, new speakers for the morning session. Lunch was then followed by a quick rundown on how to demo FBL and CEA. Then it was time to deal with some paperwork 😮 and cycles, which saw our last day quickly fade away as well, but before it was time for one more evening session and Fire Chat. Ryan’s hypeman Aleksi got the crowd extra pumped up for the last time and everyone was not only on their feet and chanting, but also on the chairs, the atmosphere was set
 It was time for Dan to say his last words to us before sending us out into the Wild West that are the book-streets and Mrs. Jones’ front step. Kaarel KĂ”iv also shortly went over what to focus on the first 3 weeks and how to obtain the highly desired Success Coin. Pat Roach then also got to speak about his first ever day on the field, which gave the FY’s a lot of confidence before going into their first day on Monday. It was then time for a final org meeting, packing the bags and final night at the HQ


Saturday started of like any other day, but the day ahead was one that nobody was looking forward to, as there were 14 hours of road ahead to get from Nashville to our final destination, Saint Paul, MN. At 8 the bookvan and car were ready for lift off and so it started. After 800$ worth of gas for the van and 13 hours, we had finally made it to our host family, where we would stay for the night


Sundays aren’t working days but they aren’t days off either, so the main objective was to get all of us settled in into our HQ’s, get some shopping done, go to church etc. Three of us still had an extra 2 hour car ride to Duluth ahead, so there was no time to be wasted. We offloaded the truck into a storage unit, so that the books would be more easily storable. The final thing for the day was to get our feet wet with a few knocks, to get the anxiety out of the way for Monday. All things didn’t go by plan during the day, but everything got done, at least somewhat
