Working Girl

So for the past few weeks I've been extremely busy with work, which is always a good thing. We've opened 2 new groups recently, which always makes up happy. Thursday and Friday this week Lauren, Mark, and I headed to Clarion for a meeting for work. The meeting was just for RSCs DSCs and CITs. Lauren and I aren't officially CITs right now. I think having us go to that meeting was kind of like a trial run for us. Everyone wanted to see how we would do before they got out our contracts for us to sign. We proved ourselves, to say the very least, and next week (unless our boss has her baby) we will sign our contracts and officially be CITs. The meeting was definitely a pat on the back for Lauren and I. We had several DSCs and RSCs come up to us and tell us that they wished we worked under them and that if we ever moved or wanted to that they wouldn't hesitate to put us on their team. I think we both needed that, especially for only being with Aflac for six months or so.

One thing that I must tell you about Aflac, or at least Aflac in Northwest PA is not all business. Everyone there knows how to have a good time. I think thats all I'm going to say about that, except for apologizing to anyone who may have gotten an im/text/phone call from me Friday night. haha.

I'm in love with a new band now, Secondhand Serenade, thanks to Phil's site.

I'm pretty sure that all I'm going to do the rest of day is relax. I need that. Even if I did sleep for 12 hours last night. I need to get caught up for the past two weeks or so.

"Go Figure"

Today at our Monday Morning Meeting we were talking about new product that Aflac has, CareAssist, which gives the policy holder money if they have to miss work to take care of a sick child. We were going over ways to present the product and that this is a product geared towards women because they are usually the main caregiver in a family. Our boss then said this is plan to take into our existing groups that are made up mostly of women. We were asked to make a list of all the groups that this would apply to so that we would remember to introduce them to CareAssist.

After everyone had a few accounts written down my boss looked at me with my blank piece of paper and said "go figure, Heather and Lauren don't have any accounts with women in them". Its been a joke in our district, that Lauren and I only work on groups where mostly guys work. And to be honest, I guess its true. For some (odd) reason we find ourselves working at beer distributors, welding shops, and auto repair places. Is it our fault that for some reason we write more business at these types of locations than, lets say... at a day care or hair salon? No, I don't think that i can explain it... haha. Although today a guy that we were presenting to said "I'm sure two good looking girls like yourselves have no problem selling things to guys like me"... and then he bought an accident and a dental policy.

Last night when I got back to the apartment I re-arranged my room. Its weird how re-arranging my room makes me so happy. Today I was actually looking forward to coming back to my apartment simply to walk in my room and see how different is it. And somehow every time I re-arrange it it seems to make my room bigger. Before you know it I'll be living in a mansion.

Today I read Ali's myspace blog and she commented on my blog on there:

Next thing....Heathers Blogs....Hers always seem so much better then mine. Hers make sense and have like a point mine are basically just random thoughts out of my head. But its what I need to do sometimes and that is more me too.. so oh well....PS Heather Keep up the good ones..I MISS YOU!!!

So why do I blog? I blog for a few reasons. Most of the time I'm bored and blog to take up some time. Sometimes I blog because I'm upset about something and it makes me feel better to rant without having someone feel obligated to listen. I blog to keep in contact with friends that I dont get to see or talk to very often. I never really thought many people read my blog until recently, when people started messaging me or calling me and saying "oh, I read in your blog that..." A lot of the time I blog to make people laugh. Those of you who KNOW ME, know me, know that I will do almost anything to make someone laugh. If i can do that with a blog entry, then mission accomplished x 10, with only one effort, score! And last but not least I blog simply for the ability to look back on my entries and laugh at how stupid I was. I do this every so often with my older blogs. I go back, read old entries, and laugh at how serious I took some things. I'm glad I don't do that anymore. (haha, yeah right)

But Ali (and Renatta) - I love love LOVE reading your blogs. As crazy as they may be sometime and as hard to follow, I always can because I know how you two thing about things. I know that you write exactly how you feel. And I love that I can read your entries and feel like you're talking right to me. I love that I can read about Ali's adventures in Vegas and Renatta's new boyfriend. I love that I can get happy/excited for you two simply by reading an entry, and that I can laugh at something that "seems so Ali" or "so Renatta". I miss you two!!!

... ok, I'm done being girlie for now.

Busy Busy Busy

Last week I was extremely busy. I felt like I was only at my apartment for about 5 hours besides the time I was sleeping there. And I didn't even sleep there on Thursday night! (Before you all get ideas running through your head, I slept over at Lauren's because I was unable to drive home)

A quick recap of last week:

* Driving to Greenville Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
* Hanging out with Autumn Monday night after work
* Had a meeting at the boss's Tuesday night
*Hanging out with Eric and going out for Emily's 21st on Wednesday night
*Working until 11pm on Thursday in Titusville, then stopping at every bar on the way home (hence me not being able to drive home that night
* Writing policies on the hood of my Jeep, and then at the bar on Friday

... Yes, I would label that as a busy week. Hopefully this week will be just as busy (because that means $$$)


So far it looks like this week is going to go a little something like:

* Monday morning meeting in Meadville
* Enrolling at Padrone's (best subs ever!) in Greenville on Monday and Tuesday
* Hopefully an open enrollment @ Lesko's in Albion
* Stalking down an owner that is impossible to get a hold of

... hopefully getting some sleep in there.
