- With all sorts of groups celebrating Eid'l Fitr and April Fools at once, I get a random proposal from dad to see me off on his motorcycle so I can go to work without any fare. And that happened -- an 8-minute trip! Imagine! I can save insane amounts of time AND potentially even go back and forth in the middle of a workday if I really wanted. Of course, not yet -- I'm still not that confident and would rather not injure myself on a bike -- but it is something I've come to consider significantly.
- The rest of the day? Amazingly boring, though it is alarming how drowsy I'm getting before "lunch" which is usually 6:00 pm. I still think I'm learning a lot, and the experience has been painless for me (contrary to what I believed coming in), but part of me still dreads what will happen to me once we finally hit the nesting stages. The problem is that, despite having just five products each with at best one page's worth of relevant info to memorize, I keep anticipating the rigmarole of having to juggle all that with actually fielding calls. An absurd thing, tell ya what. Even now, I am not sure I can truly handle that. God, I need a better sleep schedule.

- The fact that Ainslee can praise me at all is oddly encouraging. Like I said before: I'm still unsure about my old skills transferring to this line of work at the rate it demands from people, so having someone who's already got this down consistently tell me: "you only need to keep it simple" as his most negative remark is more than enough to validate certain other assumptions from me. It has also given me a greater appreciation for people who can skirt these sales techniques and simply end things, while doing the inverse for agents -- I now realize more vividly why this can seem so daunting.
- Some things remain shay, though. The more I learn, the more I am left with the same sinking feeling that sales just isn't for me. I knko they're starting off with just teaching us what products we're supposed to sell. Intuitively, logically, I accept this process. But it's harder to recruit my heart for a job it feels is a poor fit for my personality and mental state. And for as much as I want a solution to that problem, I'd rather tough it out until January 2026 where hopefully I've saved more money and left it growing somewhere I can pull later.
