After spending approximately 19 days and 4 hours in Florida, I’m heading back home to family and friends. Training was a blast in Orlando and the people here treated me and my team like family. I worked like a man possessed for 9 hours a day but when the weekend came - WHAPAK!!!!

“LJ!!!!!”
My boss shouted. He sounded like a dad about the apprehend his son when he’s up to no good. He rarely shouts that way. My agents heard it. I already knew why.
