I've been reluctant to post my personal life in the main forum.. but.. I want to post this.. which is an indication of the major strides I've made in just a few short months.
Those who have read my posts know that I'm now an insurance agent, working for Aflac. For the most part. I love the people I work with. The only frustrating thing.. are some of the "rules" for the types of clients I can sign.
Last night, I went to dinner with my dad. I had come from the office after a seminar/meeting. Right now, some important things I;m working on, are on hold, because my supervisor just went out of town on business for two weeks. We cant have meetings to talk with clients, or sign people, without him.
My dad and I were sitting at dinner in his favorite restaurant. Lately it seems we talk about only one subject.. our respective work. He talks about his clients, and I talk about everything that goes on at the office, and the people I'm talking to/ hoping to talk to, etc etc.
Finally, my dad had enough. He was like "Mitch, do you realize that since you started working at Aflac. whenever you see me, all we talk about is our work. Next time.. I want to have dinner just father and son, and talk about us, personally, and not work".
I know he;s right, and I apologized.., It's just.. I feel like its such an accomplishment to have come as far as I have.. in such a short time. Now.. being on the verge of some possibly/hopefully very important things happening, and having my supervisor go out of town.. its like GRRRRRRRR!
I still go to the casino, of course, but only on weekends. I in jest.. said to him "Dad, would you rather I went to the casino seven days a week? (Which I never did even before I got this position) He then said "That wouldn't be happening".
I'm supposed to have dinner with him next week. I promised that I would not bring up work unless he does.
Hopefully, things will continue moving in the right direction.
He;s been after me to expand my horizons, and to find a nice, ticklish girl. (Of course, he didn't say "Ticklish" because he has no idea I'm into that, or this site, etc, but the nice girl part is true) I know I did a good thing by joining the gym. As I posted in the other thread, I've been sticking to it on a regular basis, and will continue to.
I know that I have to get more involved socially.. It's just.. I want to actually close a few of these things I'm working on. At that point.. I will be much calmer.
