I'm seriously hoping the reaction to this is okay. I'm going to post about something that happened today.
I saw my father for the first time since I resigned from Aflac, and for the first time.. we had a positive interaction.
To be clear. without going into details.. since the day I last saw him, we sent emails to each other saying angry things.. the details of which I will not get into, because said is personal.
He told me that he understands that I'm still very upset about having to leave Aflac. He also said that in his opinion.. I should not have left.. He said he doesn't think they would have fired me if I was still working on something, but I told him that I couldn't take that chance.
I've been looking for temp jobs, and agreed that I'm going to take something ASAP, both temp, and short term.. but he said he understands that long term I need to do something to make enough to pay for my apartment.
In addition to the job.. I have two business ideas that we discussed, the details of which I'm not going to post here, out of superstition.
I did tell him that the lawyer who was responsible for this whole mess.. is not representing me if I do start the business I have the trademark on. I don't think Dad fully understands In the end, it's my call who would represent me..
I'm registered with many employment agencies.. both for temp, and permanent jobs. This week may be a bad week due to the holiday. I'd like to have at least something to do by the end of the following week at latest.
The funny thing.
He told me how thin I look. (176 lbs with clothes and shoes on the gym scale which is a Dr scale woo hoo). He's fat, and he's a heart patient. I wish he would go to the gym, but all he seems to do is work.
Deep sigh!
Right now it looks like it's going to be dinner with he, Cheryl, and I on Thursday. Saturday is the big family dinner with all the cousins. I'm definitely going to Thursday, not sure yet about Saturday. He also told me that my buddy my uncle was not gleeful when my uncle heard I left Aflac.. Oh, and btw, one of my cousins, did the same thing I did.. and sat around doing nothing for a year, after graduating college. I told my dad clearly..
I deserved the email he sent me in fall 2013 telling me to get off my ass. This time I wish he had shown more understanding. Today he did. I hope I can get at least a temp job to show him I'm moving forward, and that such will improve things.
As they always say, its darkest before the dawn, and hopefully that will be the case with this.
