[ WP ] You are secretly a super hero working a desk job . You are terrible at suppressing your powers in the office .

Sometimes I used it to make a sale, just to get them over their apprehension of making that kind of decision, but usually it was all I could do to keep from going mad. A snake tamer may appear to cox a snake into acting in a certain way, but I, I could control what truly drives a person. Most of the people I talked to were profoundly lonely. Sure they bought a blender, or a mixer, insurance, or whatever I was selling that particular day, but they craved the attention I gave them. They wanted to feel like someone cared about them. They were thinking about a person that made them happy, someone they wished to love or care about but payed them no mind. They took those emotions and projected them onto me, and I did what I could. I used my influence to make them think about the people that do truly care about them, tried to get them to realize where to direct their efforts. Sure I did it while selling them a vacuum, but maybe, just maybe they'd realize what they needed to do to find the fulfillment they craved. 
 
 And it was n't just the customers. My coworkers seemed to be always unsatisfied with what they were doing. They all had hopes of highrise business, or acting, or finally finding their true calling, but for now we called. I knew most of the time it was only a band-aid. Whatever fleeting feeling of joy I gave them would be gone. They would have no clue it was me and the things that drives them to these feelings remained and would drive them back to the same place. But still, I could n't stand the sight of it. Sometimes i would stop people from quitting. I was never sure about those times. Anthony needed to support his kid, but at the same time this job was driving him into the ground. Sure I gave him satisfaction in his job while he was near, but we were n't even scheduled the same hours most of the time. When i was n't there... I heard the stories. Maybe it's best i do n't meddle, but if I did n't, I might go mad myself.
