RALFFERS 0 #1 March 17, 2008 So, I took a job with Aflac & today was my 1st day. Everything was going great without a hitch; I got to the office on time, I didn't forget anything (sometimes I forget a pen, a notepad, etc, etc...) but today nothing of the sort happened. I get there, and my regional manager goes into a great 2 hour presentation detailing everything from the company's products to how to market & lastly, how to handle objections. I was really enjoying myself & got a feeling that I would do well here. After we got done with that there was an additional sales skills session which was being held at a another location, but it wasn't for a couple hours at that time, aso I decided to stop at a Subway for lunch (I didn't have breakfast & this training was going to be 4 hours - after which i had to be back a the office for another 3 hours.) I finished lunch, & headed back out to make the session...I had plenty of time - got there 25 minutes early in fact. Again, everything was going off without a hitch And THEN disaster struck!... I parked & was getting ready to head into the building, but decided to finish my brownie......and that's when ir happened...I dropped it, fudge side down on my pants. i looked down & thought: "you gotta be KIDDING me!... Why me? - FUCK!" I tried to see if I could cover the rather big stain with my blazer - nope. There's no way I could walk in like that, as it would look very unprofessional. I don't think my boss will be too angry (I hope) - I work 100% commission, so they're not paying me for my time or anything, I only get paid if I write business; but that's not the point - I wanted to go to that training for my own personal benefit. Luckily, it continues on for 2 more days, but I'm pissed I missed today nonetheless. This is 1 hell of a 1st day horror story. Do you have any? Please someone make me feel better.Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, PM me, I've been meaning to get some disability insurance for nearly a year and I keep putting it off.
