I was white knuckling it all the way home….. the Jag is definitely not an Icy Weather car….rear wheel drive and slipping a sliding my way….and those hills are a real challenge….I finally made it…all the while..chatting with one of my buddies…Don from one of those “Farm” Insurance Companies……there really oughta be a law against talking on a cell phone and driving..at least in this weather…but I remembered my speaker function and that relieved some of the tension…and as we ended our conversation..I pulled into the garage…and called it a day.
I love to cook… I’d like to say I’m good at it..but that wouldn’t necessarily be true..except for my now dead and buried Smoker…that has produced some excellent ribs and such…This night, it was Pork Tenderloin in Mustard Sauce… way too mustardy for the Mrs and me…..I guess I’ll never be an executive chef…
“Okay”…. “Okay”…was all “New Guy” had to say to me yesterday afternoon…. it was almost like someone had coached him on the ten rules for dealing with “Grouchy”… I can hear them now..”Just agree with whatever he says and don’t argue”… or perhaps I’m just paranoid…but it all seemed well rehearsed…
The discussion was over his expiration list file… that’s a list of prospects filed by the date their insurance policies expire….”New Guy” has in my estimate been a GREAT find… just like “Tall Handsome Guy”…”New” is filled with energy and ambition….a great sense of humor and a ready smile…and he works…. these guys come along once in a blue moon….and they are our future…so, I figure..just give him a “little” direction and get out of his way……especially, since he won’t argue with me anyway…
Gotta deliver a renewal and make a new business presentation today…and do the stack of paperwork that comes with these two tasks…. and tonight..the Mrs and I will enjoy another home cooked meal and a glass of wine..(it is Valentine’s Day…)…but this time, it’ll be without Mustard Sauce…and something a lot easier to cook…
Winter finally made a snowy appearance… and an unwelcome one from my point of view…but I’ll take the shortened season any day…but in the Jeep today…
