Am I Overreacting?

Today we had our company awards.  There was a representative from our company who oversee all the companies in the Mid-Atlantic area.  Hegot up and gave a speech about the programs that the company gives to the agents.  In the beginning of his speech, he asked us all to turn and give the person to the right and left of us a hug.  So, we are laughed and gave the person to the right and left of us a hug.  While people were finishing up hugging, the guy said, “hey can we break up those two guys in the back!”  After he said that, most of the crowd laughed.  I turned to my table and said pretty loud, “why is that funny?”  2 other people at my table agreed with me and said it wasn’t funny.

Here is my question.  Am I overracting and being over sensitive? 

I do understand that we live in this weird world where you walk the line of Political Correctness.  I am sure the guy who said the quote was very nice, but I was pissed and didn’t listen to most of his speech.  So, please let me know what you think.

So You Think You Can Be A Realtor…

So today, I was sitting on the couch, watching a DVRed episode of, So You Think You Can Dance. If you have never seen the show, dancers try out to become Americas favorite dancer.  Its like American Idol for dance.  Every week on the show, the dancers work with different choreographers.  These choreographers are horribly hard on these dancers and expect the dancers to be above and beyond, but each week the dancers learn something different that makes them a better dancer. 

I have been a Realtor for 1 year and 3 months.  During my whole Real Estate carrer I have had a mentor.  They allowed me to shadow them on appointments.  Shown me how to fill out paperwork.  Had me deal with things I never thought I would have to do in my life (oil tank removal, historic preservationist, cold calling) They have been harder on me, than my parents have ever been and taken me to the point where I have considered quiting.  Looking back, if my mentors had not been as hard on me or expected me to go above and beyond than I would only be mediocre.

I have taken tons of classes, read tons of books and as many blog posts as humanly possible.  I am like those dancers on, So You Think You Cand Dance, without my mentor helping me every week, I would not be the Realtor I am today.
