Two surprises

I had two surprises today.

For some reason, I got sucked into the insurance industry in January. I had very enthusiastically applied for a sales job with Aflac in DC. I got up at 6:00 AM my first day, and headed off to work to start at 8:00 AM.

I ran into Richard at 11:30 AM near the @ house...

"Hey, how was your first day?"

Me: "I quit. It was great!"

The insurance industry, or rather Aflac's sales force, was not for me.

I realized today that I'm working for the Aflac of Turkey. Basak Emeklilik sells basically the same thing, and they sell it in the same way. Fortunately, there's no duck here.

The other surprise I had is that I started work on Thursday for Basak Emeklilik, and when I arrived today, I work for a different company: GrupoAma. Grupoama is a massive MNC based in France, and they recently bought out Basak Emeklilik and Basak Sigorta in their global expansion efforts. I guess this is technically the world's shortest traineeship, followed by a new tranieeship with a huge ass company. Pretty sweet.
