Princess of Tides

Sorry, everyone (all three of you who read this with any regularity), for referring to myself as Barbra Streisand, but if the tiara fits, I must wear it. I met a great customer yesterday. Hence the turning of the tide/I am in control of it kinda reference...Get it?

Back to the customer. Simple. She wanted immediate attention, which I gave her. She had a realistic budget and expectation of what she could get for it. She understands paying the full fee. Most importantly, she was nice and positive about the things I showed her, actually talked like she liked all three apartments! Even if I don't close her for some reason, I still appreciate her as, I hope, the beginning of a shift in fortune, in attitude, in circumstance and energy.

I have been doing my administrative work myself, trying to take the sting and drudgery out of it by breaking it up into smaller pieces and changing my attitude. So far it is working! It sounds dumb, but youth really is wasted on the young. Ten years ago, I had such a bad attitude toward my life...Why me? I wondered constantly while getting underpaid for another 11 hour day of chopping vegetables, coming home to find another credit card bill I couldn't pay. Truly, so much is about attitude. And nothing has tested me more than Manhattan real estate. Maybe I'll try to learn this lesson the universe has been thrusting at me for years now...
