Incident happened that I'm going to post here.
In the nearly two years I know Cheryl. I thankfully havent had any problems with her.
On Friday night, she did something that really infuriated me.
I talk about work a lot now..maybe too much. However.. as my dad says. It's better for me to talk about work, then when I wasn't doing much with my life.
Everyone knows that insurance is a commission based business.
As my posts say.. I bust my ass for this business, while not even earning a paycheck. Running to meetings, seminars, training sessions. I love it all. As I've also posted, I've approached quite a few people who werent interested,. I'm not going to let that discourage me.
I went to dinner with Cheryl and my father on Friday night. My dad and I started talking about a few people we know who might hopefully sign with Aflac, which would greatly boost my standing with the company.
Cheryl then said "Wouldnt you be happier with a job with a regular paycheck".
This made me hit the ceiling.
To clarify.. Yes my dad pays my rent for now. This is his decision. If he didnt want to anymore, I;d have to compensate for that. I pay for day to day expenses out of my savings.. things I still sell.
If he made a decision to help his son.. how is it any of her business.. what I do to make a living? She's certainly not suffering as a result of him paying my rent. Simply put.. she';s been to every country in the world.
I called my dad yesterday, and exploded at him.
She married my father when we were estranged, not caring about the estrangement. I've not said a word about that in the two years I'm back in their lives. I want to forget about the past.
I've earned the right to persue this insurance business. At 44 years old, this is my chance to make a decent living. What would I do/support a family, if I could have one, on a minimum wage job?
I told my dad that if she tells me how to live my life again, its going to get very unpleasant, and the first thing I'm going to throw in her face is that she doesnt give a fuck about me, or my future, because she married my dad when he and I were estranged.
I dont delude myself to believe that Cheryl.. or any of my extended family on my dad's side.. really care if I succeed in this business. They would all like to see me in a job that makes me miserable or on SSD, so they can make fun of me. Not one of them wished me well when I passed the exam. I know my dad would like me to succeed.
I'm hopeful that she shuts up, as I'm building my business.
Everyone else I know, from my two best friends, to my dad, and even my former assistant and his wife have wished me all the best in this business, and encouraged me to stay with it.
I have done nothing to impede this woman;s life since I met her. I dont take my dad';s time away from her.. I dont pass judgement on how they live their lives.
I'm hopeful this issue is settled. I'm meeting my dad for lunch today, and asked him to come alone. I need to discuss things about work with him, and after her comment on Friday night, which was completely uncalled for, I need a hiatus from Cheryl.
