Managing General Agent license. $205 application fee and $75/year.Alabama has the Gulf of Mexico. Just sayin....Sometime today I have to get out and clear the driveway, vehicles and sidewalk before the next storm shows up. Would have done it yesterday but I felt terrible, feeling a little better today.
Seems like everyone is getting sick. It's been a long winter. I am dying for summer so I can go to the ocean. I think that is the one thing that is stopping me from moving to a place like Tennessee. I know I would miss the ocean.
I wonder how much a license to sell insurance costs there? Here in MA, it is quite expensive, and I'm going on interviews for sales positions and I'd like to have my license to be able to sell insurance.
One of my former bartenders left me to go to AFLAK. She's doing quite well. As a matter of fact, she and her boyfriend are leaving today on a cruise she got as an award for having good sales. She's been at it for 6 months.Do you realize that if I worked for AFLAK as an independent contractor in sales, I could make almost $70,000 in just commissions alone. That is I get 48 employees to sign on to one of the AFLAK plans per month. That makes the company around $200,000, via my sales savvy.It is certainly a tempting position.
Just had a couple of young guys come by, paying them $20 to shovel the drive, sidewalks and clean off the vehicles, one less thing I have to do.
It's nice and sunny right now but it's cold and windy. I went out and cleared the back porch and some other areas in the back, as usual I didn't wear gloves and by the time I was finished my fingers were so cold they hurt. That was due to the wind, I'll wear gloves next time. Gonna relax for a little bit, take a shower and head up the pass to Walmart where it'll be windier and colder.......Just had a couple of young guys come by, paying them $20 to shovel the drive, sidewalks and clean off the vehicles, one less thing I have to do.
It is 27 degrees at our house now, but apparently there was enough retained heat in the ground that all the snow has melted off the walks and streets and they are wet, not icy, even now. If it stays below freezing all day--it isn't supposed to but they aren't too accurate with their predictions--it is likely to start freezing at any time. Nothing falling at the moment but there are some cells out there that could drift over to add to our modest snow pack. Or it will rain and melt it. Or we'll get nothing more. We never know for sure.
I did love working from home though. I have had mostly get out and go to work jobs but have had sideline extra curricular jobs working from home most of my working life. The last years before we retired, Hombre and I ran our own business out of our home. We were the established people in our area though and would get the lion's share of available work. We only closed the biz when the economy got so bad and there just wasn't enough work to go around. Others needed what available work there was to feed their families and we were both tired and ready to hang it up so we did. But I loved, loved, LOVED being my own boss and working from home.

Hey, Nosmo. You've told us about the miserable winter you're having up ion the Rust Belt. How has a body of water as large as the Ohio River fared? Certainly, the cold hasn't effected it so navigation is impossible! Certainly the towns and cities along its banks can still draw water from it.
Well, this is what the mighty Ohio river looked like today:

Honestly, I can't stand it anymore. My job now just consists of typing and editing medical reports. It's basically typing for 7-8 hours a day. Of course, I stop to look things up like new meds I've never heard of, etc, and occasionally get the interesting story, but overall it's boring me to death and I've been having a hard time staying motivated. I need a change.

I did data entry for a lot of years. Boring, but I still preferred it to dealing with people.

Well that's how we got to where we are. Hombre was a very successful branch manager of a very good company, but he was burned out and I honestly think had he stayed in that job, it would have killed him one way or another. Sometimes we both thought we had jumped from the frying pan into the fire--my last job working for the other guy ended in a 'take this job and shove it' moment and with me cleaning out my desk and leaving without notice. And I've never regretted that for a minute. Of course it wasn't boredom--I didn't mind the work at all and I was making killer money--but it wasn't worth it. Long story there.
So the next day I called an old colleague and asked for some leads for Hombre and me to get some clients for our own business. Within a week we were up and running full time. We didn't even get a vacation.

Well, I don't want to start my own business. That is just too expensive and risky. I'm not even sure about this job for AFLAK. I have to see if hey even want to see me for a second interview, but I am interested in getting into sales.

Well we'll keep our fingers crossed for you and I bet you find something that you really love doing whether it is in sales or not. We all have to do jobs we hate or that bore us silly at least once in a lifetime, but life is too short to resign yourself to such a life without even trying to see what else is out there. So power to you.
I'm definitely ready for a change.
Just checked the weather--winter storm warning and possibly heavy snow tonight - 50 plus degrees and rain tomorrow - 60 plus degrees and sun on Sunday.
This seemed appropriate both for the weather situation and the jobs we hate discussion:
