First Try.. Didn;t Make It.. (Insurance Exam)

[Leo tickles]

I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this, and I'm only of joking, but....


You're getting your life on track, AVOID WOMEN, THEY RUIN LIVES!!11.

 

[Mitchell]

LOL!

No, its okay, you wont get hate, Leo. That's your opinion, and I respect it. I've been here, 11 years, and avoided women most of that time.

Right now, work is on my mind. Review class with the Hasidic Jew, Ed, on Monday, then call the state for the exam. Hopefully by sometime this week, things will fall into place with work.

I forgot to mention: I had a nice day at the casino today, The weather was decent, I won some races, and won some at the slots. I have to stay away from there until next Saturday, too much work, but.. it was a fun day.

Or as a wise man once said, get a puppy. Dogs are much more receptive to you studying than a woman.

Now back to the point of the thread.. my career.

I'm embarrassed to admit this.,. but.. I keep thinking of the review class coming up on Monday, and even though the reason for my attending it again is far from funny, and because I haven't passed the exam yet, thinking about that guy Ed, standing there in his Hasidic Jew outfit, coming down on me with criticism, has me cracking up with laughter.

Everyone at Aflac has been mega nice, and supportive, and made me think extremely professional, except for this guy.

I did exactly three things this week. Work, study, my exam, and the casino today. I have no food in my apartment, and have thought about nothing except the exam.

Tomorrow will be fun seeing my friend Adam. Less than 36 hours now until review class with Ed boy. I'll need Mr Jim Gardner more than ever to relax on Monday night, after listening to that guy Ed go on all day Monday.

 

[BrightEyes1082]

Wow, you really seem to have a problem with Hasidic Jewish people.

 

[Bohemianne]

AVOID WOMEN, THEY RUIN LIVES!!11.

Haha! I think this is a fairly common joke even here in my RL situations. But I get resolved whenever I see the chessboard, as to why the makers let the Queen have the best move in the game. Then I could grin all day. 😀 😀 😀

 

[Mitchell]

Er.. no I don't.,. Brighteyes. My comments are made in jest. It's not "Hasidic Jewish People" whom I have a problem with, just this guy Ed.

 

[Mitchell]

I went to the office today for the "Review class". The news is not good.

My trainer, Jay, thankfully seemed very laid back. He made it seem like I would just try again. That, however, did not seem to be the consensus of others.

Ed, the review class guy, gave me a hypocritical statement. He clearly told me earlier that most people don't pass the first time. Today he contradicted himself, and now said most do.

Then, Tim, the other guy in this whole thing, gave me the whole "We cant wait too much longer for you" speech.

So,, tomorrow, I have to get on the phone with the state again, and reschedule the exam.

I hope and pray I can pass it this time.

Then, to boot, this girl Vicky called me again tonight. We hung out for a while on Austin St. Nice girl, but as I think I mentioned, she's a heavy smoker, which is a turn off to me.

All that really matters to me now is that I pass the exam, and that my senior relatives stay healthy.

I'll know tomorrow when the next shot at the exam is.

Mitchell,

I don't understand why, after so many attempts on the same exam you continue to fail?

At the college I go to 70% is a failing grade, but for you it's a pass.

You have taken the company pre-test dozens of times and the state test as well, but still no results over 70%, which seems like the bar has been set very low. They WANT you to pass so they can take a cut of your business, but every business has their threshold.

I hope you can find it in you to calm yourself and just pass the test. You've studied enough. It's all in your head.

Good Luck. Marty

ps. do you have a back-up plan?

 

[Mitchell]

Marty, your post is a potshot, so I'm not even going to explain it to you, okay.

"The bar has been set very low"

"Its all in my head. "

(Your words)

Two words...

Bite me!

If you truly wished me "Luck", you wouldn't be saying those things.

 

[Mitchell]

GRRRRRRRRRR!

I called to try and reschedule the test.

The first number I called, the lady said she could not reschedule me for the test, because of my failure last week. She said I had to call another number, to reset my profile. When I called the 2nd number, I got a message saying the office was closed due to the snowstorm in NY. I'll have to do it tomorrow.

 

[chicago]

I dont think Marty was making a potshot, rather trying to encourage you that you have the ability to pass. "It's all in your head" - meaning the information is all in your head so you can do it.

This is why people get upset. You post your whole life all evrywhere and even when people are being supportive, you snap back with "bite me."

Maybe one day youll learn how to handle posting personal shit but hasnt happened in the 10 years ive been here yet.

Hope you pass the test.

 

[Mitchell]

Annie, if that is how she truly meant it, then I apologize for my comment.

How is posting about trying to get a professional license "Personal shit". I'm trying to move on with my life.

Thank you for your good wishes with my passing the test, Annie.

Look at the title of this thread, Mitch. It's all "My first try, I didn't pass my test." As if the entire TMF world is waiting with bated breath to hear what's going to happen next in Mitch Land. How can you say this is not a personal thread? And when people respond with even best-intended constructive criticism, you tell them "bite me."

Not to mention how you turned this thread about a professional license into one about some chick named Vicky and some kind of debate on your feelings towards Hasidic Jews.

 

[Mitchell]

Annie, you know what.. now.. what you're saying is uncalled for.

I had discussed my situation about Aflac in the main forum before. I'm working on a new career. It isn't like I was posting rants about my family in the main forum. I don't do that anymore. Someone who got a new job, career, or started a new business cant post about it? How is that in any way bad?

The part about the girl.. I can see your point. I wont discuss what happens with her unless it's in my blog.. or a new thread, okay.

 

[chicago]

I never said they couldn't. You just seem to do it more often than most and your threads seem to end negatively more often than most. I'm wondering if perhaps there is a reason / pattern behind that. Can you think of any?

 

[Mitchell]

No, I cant, okay, and it isn't my intent for my threads to end "negatively". If you're suggesting that I intentionally do this to purposely attract attention, that is not the case.

 

[chicago]

I know you didn't intend to. I'm suggesting that maybe you are doing something or acting in such a way that you don't realize (responding negatively to helpful comments / putting yourself out there by creating the thread but being overly sensitive to feedback) that is causing it.

 

[Mitchell]

I see your point. Tell you what, I will take what you said into consideration, okay?

 

[chicago]

Sounds good, Mitch. A lot of people are rooting for you. Just keep that in mind.

 

[Mitchell]

Thanks. I appreciate that.

 

[Mitchell]

Next appointment made.. Monday 145pm at 1 Penn Plaza. I have five days to study, which is good. This time.. the process didn't seem so.. arduous.

My family thinks I was mega nervous last time. True. Hopefully, this will be the time I pass.

 

[Bugman]

Relax Sunday and go in well rested the next day. You know the material, Mitch, you can do this. Have faith in yourself.

 

[Mitchell]

Thanks, bug, I appreciate the support.

I plan to start studying in earnest tomorrow. I was spent from the class Monday, and having to get the appointment.

I'm going to do heavy studying tomorrow through Saturday, and just an hour brush up on Sunday in the daytime. Sunday night, I will rest.

AFLAC Exam

Mitch,

OMG! Your response was totally uncalled for, and I believe you owe me an apology.
If this is how you treat anyone who offers you advice or support, then I'm surprised you have any friends on here at all.
All I was doing was offering some real world advice and help.

I know you want to break free from your Dad who has been paying your rent and totally supporting you by passing this test, but you don't have to take your frustrations out on me!!! OK?! I'm not the bad guy here!!!

I WAS being supportive. Jeeze!
If this is how you treat your friends then I'm suprised you have any left at all!
I'm sorry if I offended you, but I really think I didn't do anything wrong at all.

I still hope you pass your test and all your dreams come true.

Marty 🙂
