One of those days

More like one of those weeks.  Coming into the office this morning I already had 38 hours on the books.  I'd love to leave early today but I've got a client coming in at 1:30 and then a meeting after that lasting until at least 3 p.m.

I have a couple of accounts that are equivalent to beating my head against the wall that has nails sticking out of it.  One is for the big boss, the head of our office.  He doesn't care what anyone says, I *will* get this done.  So I did.  Only the premium is unacceptable to the client.  I've spent three weeks pulling my hair over this goddamn thing and she says the premium is unacceptable so now I have to find someone else to quote it.

Um, hello, welcome to Florida.  If you've gotten a quote, you should consider yourself lucky.

THERE IS NO ONE ELSE.

Then there's a producer who is trying to get a building covered for his uncle, only his uncle doesn't want to give me any information to quote with.  Soo... that's going well.

Then we have our monthly awards thing today.  In my department I consistently have the most sales.  My January wasn't great, but I know I did better than anyone else.  I've been the top seller nearly every month since August.

So imagine my surprise when the award goes out to someone else in my department.  Even moreso when they announce her sales numbers.

I go back to my desk after and look at my commission report and I sold THREE TIMES as much as she did for the month of January.  Seems management wanted to spread around the award a little bit so they gave it to the runner up instead.

Nice.

I think I'll go stab myself in the eye with a fork now.
