today was my first day. it was...interesting. i don't know what else to say. it will be WAAAAY more laid back and less stress than the DC job. it started out with me taking a field trip with my boss to one of her listings. i stopped counting bathrooms after 7, i stopped counting kitchens after 3 and i know for a fact there are more than 5 kitchen sinks in the place because of wet bars all over. i don't even know how many fire places. i was at 3 when i noticed there was more than one...actually, i can think of 4 off the top of my head. crazy big money properties. and most of the bathrooms and closets have lights that turn on when you walk in. crazy detail things like every bathroom has its own personality. one has 1 inch square slate tiles that go all the way up to the metalic black/grey ceiling, it totally feels like a little castle bathroom. all the fire places are completely different from the next. i can't even begin to explain. and all of the granite countertops had a rough edge that had been buffed down so there aren't any jagged edges. it's GORGEOUS to say the least. i've never even seen any houses that crazy cool on tv or movies. i'm not sure why so many sinks.... "oh my hand is dirty, let me wash it right here in the corner instead of walking ALL the way across the room to the kitchen." ??
but then this afternoon i found out that the marketing boy is also her son and he was supposed to just cover while the marketing girl went on maternity leave but she decided not to come back. he is actually really good at marketing but he is kinda disrespectful. she asked the other two guys if he should stay or go and one guy said stay and one guy said go. so she thought about it and decided with the economy the way it is she's afraid he won't be able to find anything else and by the way someone needs to go make sure grandpa eats his lunch at noon. so she kinda needs to keep him around for that purpose. oh...and i forgot to mention, i learned this when i went with her to her eye doctor appointment this afternoon. she realized on her way out the door that there would be no one there to train me anything so we grabbed a file and took it with us and talked through the file while we went. so it will be interesting. i have a LOT to learn but the banana muffins were a hit. they like nuts by the way. ha!
tatum did good not to potty in the bathroom. she kept giving me the stink eye and turned her back to me when i came home for lunch. although they say dogs don't have spite, i beg to differ. she DEFINITELY knows that i've gone back to work. or she's suspecting that i went to church both this morning and this afternoon.
i had a little cry about it but i know once we all get into the swing of things we'll be fine. thank god for mrs. doolittle's tuesday mornings!
About Me
- The Boss of this page
- when my husband and i were hiking from georgia to maine in 2002 we sat on the side of the road on the PA 105 debating if we wanted to order a pizza or keep hiking on for the night. my husband looked down and saw that i was sitting in ice cream, and then i looked down and, at the same moment, we both noticed that the ice cream cone was smooshed into a pair of panty hose. we looked at the debacle, then back at each other then we both wondered in unison how in the world did those two items come together like that? this is sort of the long and the short of this blog. it's very random and yet smooshes altogether to make the debacle that is my life.

Oh dogs know what they're doing all right. People try to convince me Lucy doesn't know what she's doing...HA, the little stinker, she knows! Glad Tatum did ok...you're right, you'll all get into a routine and all will be fine!
Crazy houses, can you believe in this economy someone thinks they can sell that big thing?????
Congrats on the new position! So is it based out of your new boss' home? Working with family is something that you have experience with, now you're on the other end of the deal. Interesting to see if you feel like you did it better or worse... Hope T-dog is alright.
Why, that sounds just like my house...NOT! Sounds more like one of those more-money-than-sense kind of places, but I bet it was beautiful. Will you get to see many other listings? I'd love to be able to tour places like that.
So little miss Tatum has a 'tude, eh? Well, all I can say is dogs are some of the most forgiving creatures on earth, so I think after a couple of days you and she will be back on track. Glad to hear she was a good girl in the bathroom! It's good you're going through all this with her now so you will have BTDT by the time you have to go through it with a little mini-you. ;)
Can you believe Ovuland is down again today? My blog's been doing crazy things, too.
Hooray for the first day of your new job!! My house sounds just like the one you described, except for the 7 bathrooms, and the 4 fireplaces...and all that other fancy stuff.
Like Robbyn, Im having issues with the blogs too...mainly yours, it doesnt want to cooperate with me.
