yesterday was the first time i felt like a loan officer. i made my cold calls, got an app, processed the app, and presented it. me and josh decided to team up and work together. we'll lock ourselves in the breakroom, make our calls, and try to close them ourselves. it makes the job go by much faster and since were new, it looks like were actually doing something. the others dont really do shit, talk on the phone, play darts, monopoly, chess, poker etc., but they still make goood money. the hours should really be 5-7pm since we dont really do anything in the morning. its hard to look busy.

everyone at work is pretty much lazy except for me and josh. i look over to check out what leon is doing and theres a smile across his face as he plays online monopoly. i look to the right to see what jason is doing and he is playing online poker and ordering parts for his car. i look back and brandon is talking to his girlfriend. i made 200 calls and got one application for a loan. that ratio is pretty much what to expect at every mortgage company. but from that one application, it could get you 4 figures easily. this guy wants to refi a $300K loan and i have another family in bankruptcy who is in dire straits with $430K in debt. i hope these 2 go through.

we cant wait till its friday like school. right after work, josh, ellis, and i went to disneyland and ate at the bayou. since ephraim was the manager, we ordered the 90% of the whole menu, customized our orders, and had free refills on anything.
