I had a whirlwind day today, productive, I hope.
First, I went to the office, and found out that we now will have a new option to contact clients, via mailing list, and email, which will be a huge help to me, with not having to call people on the phone, and worry about my stuttering. This will happen very soon, and should be very productive to me. Keith even thinks so.
Then, this was a shocker..
As much as I bitched about my dad in my last post.. he was actually considerate of me. I saw him earlier today, and he told me that we were invited to the cousins for Father's Day, but that he would understand if I didn't want to go, due to my nerves regarding the meeting with the lawyers next Wednesday. I appreciated his considering my feelings, and felt that realisicallly, since it is Father;s Day, I have a responsibility to do what he wants to do. I'm going to go. My dad said he doesn't think the cousins are going to attack me.
Then he said something to me that was a major boost.
My dad told me that I shouldn't worry about pressuring myself to feel that I must make this successful now.. or sacrifice my own happiness.. to please him. He told me that this Aflac thing is all about me. He also told me that he doesn't believe Keith is going to fire me, or Keith would have done so already. My dad also told me that if God Forbid none of the lawyers signs, my dad has other options. (I heard an unrelated horror story; from one of the other agents, during the meeting this morning, that I cant post the details of. Without going into details, suffice to say that until the signatures are on the dotted lines, nothing is for certain.)
Big sigh! So many things swirling around, nothing for certain yet.
I'm going to take a rest at my favorite place, (The casino, of course) before the visit with my dad and the cousins on Sunday. I just hope and pray that some of the things that are going on, turn into contract signings.
