Hello all! It has been a while since I have been active here. Here's what is going on.

I am a licensed insurance agent. I was working in a salaried sales position until the company pulled the plug on our division a few months ago. Instead of selling their insurance products through a field agent program, they are now selling only by call center. This will be the company's loss.

Last month I contacted a very large insurance company that has a great program for people to become independent agents. It sounded good, and they like me, so I came aboard. Currently I am going through some online training, and classroom training starts in February. My business cards should be in in the middle of next week, and then I can start selling. It is all very exciting.

Tuesday was an interesting day. I watched the "Obamanauguration" on television, which was very exciting. Afterward I drove out to do some errands, and was hit from behind by another driver. He was very polite about it, and was very concerned about my well-being. We exchanged our info, and I went to the doctor to check out the discomfort in my neck. He gave me a neck brace to wear for a while. He is worried about the position of vertebrae, considering my rheumatoid arthritis. I have a hunch it will all be over with in about a week. I hate this neck brace.

Anyway, I am not going to let this minor traffic accident slow down the positive direcction life has taken.

It is good to see you again. I'm sorry about your neck, I hope that heals quickly for you.

Good news about the training and work! Hope it works out great for you.

It is very exciting. Basically it will be my own business. I was self-employed for well over twenty years. I guess I do not work well in corporate America.

I'm really sorry about your accident - glad you weren't more seriously injured.

Congratulations on the new job. Sounds like it's a great fit for you. I really hope that it goes well.
