Back in Good Hands - Hired at Allstate!

 Woot!  It only took one day to find a really cool job. God is so wonderful. Actually, just before being terminated at the last assignment for being too happy, I was planning on leaving after a few more days because my employment agent Kevin had found me a better (more suitable) position anyway. It was only a matter of time before I would let the sweet boss as the supply company know I needed to get back into selling and servicing insurance. I do a few things well, and insurance is one of those things. (It's like I'm polarized to it, and I keep coming back every time.) That or teaching...which really, if you think about it, is the same thing.

So Thursday morning Kevin calls me and tells me that a man named Evan P. is going to schedule an appointment for Monday (today) and we'll talk about what it would take to bring me on board. That's so much better than saying he'll contact Kevin to see what I know, and if I would be a good fit. Kevin had already sent over my resume and basic history regarding sales and service of insurance. (A quick run down for you: I was licensed in 1983 to sell Life, Health, and Accident insurance, worked it more than 10 years before becoming a paralegal, but even as a paralegal I remained licensed to sell and did so as a broker. I opened my own business in 2010 having been licensed in Property & Casualty, and I ran that for 5 years in Indiana.  After returning to my home state of Oklahoma in 2015, I worked for the state and went back into teaching. I thought about insurance of course, but the opportunities were not there. Now they are.) 

I have scheduled my exam to retake the Property & Casualty test next Tuesday, and following that I will be hired on full time at Allstate in Norman, Oklahoma!  Le me just say that again, NORMAN, OKLAHOMA! In case you're not all that familiar with my love affair for the City of Norman, it is both lifelong and runs through my veins as crimson as one of the official colors of the University of Oklahoma, which happens to be in Norman, Oklahoma. It's a thing. When you're born in Oklahoma you are not a boy or a girl, you are a Sooner or a Cowboy. It's just the way it is..Boomer Sooner, baby, Boomer Sooner!  My new office is about 2 miles from Campus Corner. It also happens to be about 2 miles from the best looking man on the face of this planet! (My son Reuben).  My new boss? Oh, you want to know about my new boss? Well, it won't be hard for me to show up every single day and work at that office, my new boss is a HUGE bearded man with Scottish roots! Can it be any better? WHAT?

We talked about it, and he's open to me opening up an office in Edinburgh, Scotland as soon as the Summer of 2021. Who knows, this could be the best of every world in my dreams. God is just too fantabulous to me!!  I'm servicing, which is what I love to do; I'm selling, and I'm in NORMAN!!! I'm surrounded by bearded men.  THIS IS HEAVEN!  (Thank you, Jesus)
