Day 6: Four turn offs.

1. Smoking~ It is a horrible habit. I have friends that do it, some of them do it socially. I don't mind it that way. But, If you want to be my man, it is either that butt on your lips, or mine. I know that is one hell of a visual, but, it is also the truth.
2. Bad Tipper~ I know that it sounds really shallow, but, I worked as a waiter before, you might not realize how hard it is to make your money. Now mind you, if the service is horrible... then it's okay, but only then.
3. Excessive Drinking~ Again, be social. Not stupid. 'Nuff said.
4. Taking Life Too Seriously~ Life isn't wine and roses, but, it isn't all doom and gloom. Things will look up, they always do. Quit yer bitchin' and keep on moving.

~My Monday~

My Monday was fantastic, it was nice to be able to go down to Fort Wayne. The drive was great, decent weather and there wasn't that many idiots on the road while I was driving. Well one bus driver, but I blew by him quickly. I got to my cousin place, slid into my normal parking spot literally. I walked up to the house carrying the painting that I wanted to do for my cousin. He has the fixation and fascination with a painting of the Earth at the Daily Grind in Goshen. Well, I worked on my rendition and presented it to him. He seemed to enjoy it and his partner also sent me a message saying the same.

We then started our running, first we went to a client's home and picked up rent, not normal protocol mind you, and then ran to lunch. Ruby Tuesday's was very good. I have the burger with A-1. and two servings of fries, might tasty. I didn't realize that they had endless fries. Lunch gave us time to talk, talk of the future and where he is going, what my plans are, my nervousness to what lies ahead of my day. It's nice to spend time with him. I hope to do this for years to come.

We then ran to his office where it is very interesting to see a realty office at work, the other times that I have been there it was rather slow. People often have misconceptions about Realtors. You either think they have tons of money, tons of free time, or both. Let me clarify. I was with my cousin for just around four hours today, other than the time that we stopped for lunch, he was on the phone with a broker, a client, or a potential client. The entire time we were in the car he was working. I am sure once I left to on about my day, he was either on his computer working on his current listings, or future listings. Realtors work just as hard as you and I, well, maybe not I currently.

Now as to money, there are a lot of fees and costs that we don't realize that these people have to pay and that includes paying their brokerage fees, my cousin's are 30%. When get our paychecks, we lose 20-25%. Realtors have that, plus their brokerage fees, plus everything else they have to pay. Just something for you guys to think about. And when you are thinking about buying, renting, or building a house, go through a Realtor, one, they have the resources that you do not have. Two, it's their job, they can take the time to look for you, when you can't. It's a win/win situation people. And this is what I learned, riding around the Fort Wayne area with my cousin, and I was just paying attention half-assed.

After leaving my cousin at his house to his work, I headed to Glenbrook mall, and to the Barnes and Nobles there. I met Paul, he is a little older than me, is just as much a geek as I am. We had a drink at Starbucks, talked about our books and our interests, and about an hour and a half later, we headed outside and made plans for a future date, this time in Goshen. Dinner and a movie. Kinda looking forward to it.
