In chronological order.
I went to the office today. Jay gave me my paper license. It's just that, a puny little thing literally printed out on a piece of paper.
I saw K, briefly. He questioned me about going out cold selling and calling today. Sales School starts on Monday.. so I asked him if it would be okay to attend Sales School, and then cold call/sell. K seemed okay with that. I was at the office briefly, and then came home.
I went to the city to meet my dad and Cheryl for dinner.
After all my ranting on here.. I finally heard what I needed to..
My dad said to me, with tears in his eyes, and also wrote me on a birthday card.. how proud he is of my success. I guess., with my mom not around,. and with as much as I bitch about him.. I still need to hear sometimes that I'm good. I think, part of the reason I rant so much about him on here, is that I feel he constantly disapproves of me... even though he blatantly told me several times in the last 24 hours "Shut the fuck up, it doesn't matter if I approve, as long as you're happy".
I am very happy.. I achieved the goal I wanted to of being an agent. I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead.. but I'm also extremely apprehensive and scared. Hopefully in time that will abate.
He also gave me a very nice gift. More important than the money itself.. is the acknowledgement of both his recognition of my achievement, and remembering the occasion.
Now, I plan to have a relaxing weekend with friends.. before preparing for what I'm told is a hell of a two weeks coming up.
Thanks again to all my friends who have supported me through my new career. I will admit I had tears in my eyes, when I saw the license in my hands. It felt good to have achieved something real and significant, in my career, for the first time in a long time.
