Checklist Queen Needs A WordPress Plugin

One thing I pride myself on are my checklists and forms.  I use them everyday at work.  In fact, there is even a checklist for using the checklist.  Because my job in real estate and property management is sooo detailed, I find that it’s pretty handy just to have a sheet of items that I [...]

Cheeeese!

Smile!  Nothing works me up more than having my photo taken.  Especially when it’s a scheduled photo shoot.  I always get so nervous.  The backstory to this specific photo was that this week The Donald and I had a scheduled appointment to have new head shot photos taken.  The head shots were not taken for [...]

Repeat Performance

I received some exciting news this week that The Donald and I were chosen to present “8 Profitable Ways to Property Management” at the National Association of REALTORS® Annual Conference and Expo! Therefore, we’re headed to New Orleans in November 2010 for a repeat performance. w00t!! What’s odd is that I’m more excited this year [...]

Keeping Busy Because of One Lit Match

As Smokey The Bear would say, “Only you can prevent forrest fires.”  Uhh, no I can’t because I have tried.  I am speaking of the figurative forrest fire, not the literal ones.  I’ve been known to have too many irons in the fire at one time, but my irons have caught fire and now I’m [...]

It’s Guaranteed You Won’t Fall Asleep

I don’t often make guarantees.  However, I’m making an exception now for something work related because I can’t stand boring training classes, where all I want to do is lay my head down and take a nap. The Donald and I have been teaching continuing education courses to real estate agents in the state of [...]

The Dishes Are On The Roof

Don’t install a satellite dish on the roof.  Our tenants do this all of the time and it irritates me to no end.  If you install your dish on the roof, holes must be drilled into the roof, ultimately opening it up for problems with leaks. Plus it looks tacky. Just don’t do it. That [...]

Quickly Responding to QR Codes

Flipping through a magazine the other day, I saw a QR Code on an advertisement and I was immediately intrigued. I had read about QR Codes but I hadn’t really seen them in the wild yet, so I was excited that I had stumbled up one.  They look a lot like the picture below and [...]

It’s A Hot Mess Right Now

I was so embarrassed today when a colleague asked me why he couldn’t find my e-mail address on my web site anywhere.  I wasn’t sure how to answer him until I remembered that I had removed it from my personal blog due to the spammers.  The spammers seemed to be picking up on my fully [...]

I Will Take A Shot Of Obj-C With My Cocoa, Please.

You have been warned that this blog is a melting pot of weird things that I have going on in my life. And if you’ve been a long time reader/subscriber (of which I thank you for), then you already know that you get the most random things out of these posts. Today is no exception, [...]

Title’s Are A Changin’

I’m coming up on my 10 year anniversary in March 2010 of working with Dizmang Associates Real Estate here in Springfield.  When I first came to work for the company, I was paid $6.00 an hour and I think that The Donald expected me to be his secretary, answer his phones, take rent payments and [...]
