    Stress....

    see, that's the thing too- even if a business has insurance I can still work with them. Because Aflac specializes in supplimental benefits we don't change anything a company has in place - we just add to it so that the employees have even more options. Because in truth, yes, health insurance pays for your medical bills & whatnot, but who provides cash so you can still pay your bills while your not working? :note: workers comp only pays out if you have an accident on the job. really, there's no reason why I shouldn't be closing 3-5 accounts per month. Anybody out there own a business? Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of

    Stress....

    Yes Jeff, I know... But try to understand where I'm coming from dude. With or without a college degree, I wont be hired anywhere because I'm viewed as a liability because of my disability. 1) they may think I'm more prone to fall & break something, therefore entitled to collect from workers-comp. 2) if they fire me they're afraid I'll scream discrimination & sue. Solution...don't hire me. I'd hate to say it, but "equal opportunity employer" is a nice littlle slogan that don't mean much. I have hopes of pursuing skydiving, as well as other things; I'm not going to achieve any of my dreams & aspirations by working at McDonald's. I'm worth more than that, damn it. So, it's either, survive in sales or eat a bullet....cuz I'm sure as hell never going to allow myself to be homeless!

    Stress....

    I do the duck thing as well. My manager also suggested bringing lunch for the employees; works well for him. But again, I have to be able to meet with the business owner before I get to see the employees. The hardest part of my job is not having people see the value of what aflac does once I have them in front of me, it's getting that 1st appoint with Mr./Mrs. business owner.

    Stress....

    Although I'm working & love where I work, I have never been unsder this much financial stress in my life...scratch that - I have never been under this much stress, period! Bills, bank overdraft fees, a credit card...ARGH!! I still work in insurance sales - BUT - selling for Aflac should be much, much easier; even in this crappy economy. In a nutshell, it's free for business owners, of any size company to provide additional benefits to their employees, on top of that they get a freaking substantial tax break year to year in payroll taxes....I mean what more could you want??? Nonetheless, cold calling doesn't work well (that's to be expected, obviously) they don't even let you say anything. As far as networking or warm marketing - that's like pulling teeth too. People have been successful before me, & there will be others long after I'm retired...I don't know what the problem is. I've put everything on hold for now....going out, driving out to the DZ (gas btw now costs $3.70 per gallon for unleaded, &$4.30+ for premium grade.) Hell, I don't even have time to go to the gym because I'm always working. I just wanna go away...

  8. I have a few whole foods, never heard of the other store though. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  9. How do you cure it??? I swear, it's worse than alcohol & drugs combined! (no, really...) I've had this since I was kid (like most kids) but I am no longer a kid. Under normal circumstances this wouldn't be a problem; I don't gain weight easily & have the fastest metabolism of anyone alive. But, as some of you know, there is something serious in my medical history that should persuade me to not consume all this sugar - but - I CAN'T STOP! nothing remotely sweet can survive a day in this house, especially chocolate -[Homer Simpson voice]mmmmmmmmmm, [I]C H O C O L A T E...[/I] [/Homer Simpson voice] Edited to add: Does this bolong in the womens only forum?

  10. Fixed - good as new.
  11. Actually, I'm constantly looking in my mirrors - I even have the little blind spot mirrors. Again, I was hit by a car [apparently] from the opposing direction of traffic; that's not something you see in a mirror. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  12. That is exactly what I was going to ask! I was in the left lane, merging to the right; the car that apparently hit me was in the opposing direction of traffic. But yes, I did make sure the lane was clear. Like I said though - there is no mark(s) on my car; no foreign paint, no scratches no nothing. Possible my tires kicked up a rock or something?...

  13. going with the idea that someone did hit me... Ya know, I'll be the 1st to admit I can be a little wild sometimes..I always find myself driving 25-30 mph over the speed limit (yet haven't had an accident in 5 years or or a speeding ticket in 7 years.) Come to think of it, I only have ever gotten 1 ticket. Nonetheless, it's the stupid shit that happens when I actually do FOLLOW the speed limit & laws of the road - go figure that 1 out... On another note......can I get a mirror in the same color at a junk yard? I don't see why not; black, if anything is quite a common color.

  14. That's really weird... In answer to your question - no, I didn't actually see the car hit me; but I heard a definite pop (& not just the sound of glass shatter) so someone certainly git me - I think.

  15. STUPID %$*&&&&^* CHICAGO DRIVERS!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!! I'm driving along from my sisters house, and some asshat fucktard dimwitted douche bag desides to hit my mirror... There was a reduction in lanes o my side - I was in the left lane of a 2-lane main street, & this was the lane that was ending; so in accordance to how the cones were being laid out ahead I began to switch to the right lane - that's when I heard a "pop" & noticed my mirror was gone (just the glass.) In truth, either of us could be at fault, but seeing that I stopped, waited for 10-15, with my emergency lights on minutes while the other driver never came makes the other person guilty in my mind... Funny thing is, only the glass piece is gone - the motor & metal backing is working & intact; I don't even see a mark where it was hit, Nonetheless, I'm going to have to by a whole new mirror & blow $50-$80 which I don't have mind you.)

    JELLO SHOTS

    Ok.... wait just one minute just wait! STOP THE PRESSES!!! Something is amiss here. A STUDENT with 2jumps and he wants to make and serve "JELLO SHOTS" at safety day????? HELLOOOOOO!!! you GO dude! You crack me up man! I'm doing everything I can to get off the ground, through AFF & in the air. Time in the gym, time in the tunnel - it's all going to pay off. Additionally, I just landed a new job that I'm really happy with it - so the finances will be there. Ideally, I'd like to do 30 minutes to an hour a piece in the Orlando Colorado & Perris tunnels this year; NC would be nice too but that may be pushing it. If there's time left in the season after that then I'll go through the student progression, if not, I have a whole another winter to get even more tunnel time

    JELLO SHOTS

    Crap.....it's 7:30 here - I don't know where I'm going to find a restaurant supply store, and I'd like to be at the DZ at 9:30 tomorrow... (might have to deal with going later it looks like) would a "Jewel" sell the stuff I need (i's a big grocery store/ super market.) Or better yet...what about Costco?

    I realize this is probably a stupid question, but - how do you make jello shots? I know; mix vodka with jello mix with vodka - but how exactly in proportion to the (if any) water? Safety day is tomorrow & I'd like to make a batch. Note: there will be plenty of people… Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
