The last 24 hours... this whole week in fact, has been terrible.
After being sick much of the week.. I was kicked out of my apartment all day yesterday by a water shut down.
I went to Manhattan for the day, and was in Times Square.. when my father called me. It was noisy, and I was having trouble hearing him. He said something about the lawyer from the 100 man firm, but I couldn't hear specifically what he said. .
This morning, he and I had a conference call with another insurance agent, about insurance for a Dr my dad knows.. a deal that would/will be "small" if it happens.
After that call.. I talked to my dad.. All he said is that he's having lunch with the lawyer from the 100 man firm, on Sept 3rd. Completely unrelated to my situation, and having no relevance to what I'm doing. My dad said "I'm going to get an honest shot, and I shouldn't obsess".
I don't think my dad is being realistic that I "Not obsess" over a potential mega deal like this. It really isn't my business why they are having lunch about matters unrelated to me, or Aflac.
So.., I'm doing everything right to improve my life. I go to the gym, 3-4 times a week, have lost weight, I'm up to 2 miles a day on the treadmill. I'm dedicated to my speech therapy, and have cut my casino visits to weekends only, and yet.. I have a father who reprimands me because I'm concerned about a potential mega deal, and a supervisor who tells me to "Let him handle it".
While what my dad said about "mega deals taking time" is true.. I don't have the same positive feeling about this as I did.. The meeting with the lawyer was 2 months ago. We had the meeting that didn't come off a week ago Wednesday, a situation my dad called a "misunderstanding". Now Keith, my supervisor, is supposedly waiting to make his next move.
I have to see Mr Wonderful (Dad) for dinner tonight, unless he cancels.
My father told me that his son in law, obsesses about things too. Er.. same thing.. Youngish people.. who want things to happen, so their lives can be good.
Would my dad rather I be the Mitch I was from April 2012 to Sept 2013? One that only cared about going to the casino, didn't work except for selling inherited items, and didn't give a fuck about my life, or my career. The way I am now is the real me.. The way I used to be when I was in college. This me, got me into the historical honors society, got me to be an awards winner, and as the host student to show new potential students around the campus. This is the me that was successful.
I'm not going to make any predictions. To say the deal with the law firm isn't going to happen, sounds negative, but to be overly confident, sounds unrealistic.
The waiting, is the hardest part.
