BULLETIN: Don't Do Any Inspections Wednesday !

[Charlotte Dixon]

<span style='color:red'>Just a Reminder! If you inspect a property on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, you are guaranteed a phone call(s) bright and early Monday morning asking if the appraisal is done, and "what did it come in at"...... :roll: Remember, we have no life and while everyone else is enjoying the holiday, we're supposed to be "helping" people borrow money for the "things they need" ....or "their new house".... If you must work, save the inspection(s) until Monday, but just do the gopher work, set up the files, & whatever else you can do before the inspection. Tidy up your desk, make lists of what you "must" do and when Monday comes, you'll be way ahead, except for the inspections. When they call Monday morning, I'm going to say .... "Well, we had a holiday and this week is catch-up" They don't have to know we work through holidays :!: The more we do, the more they want. For a change, we're going away for the holiday, but if I was home, I'd be secretly working on files (prior to inspections). I've used this method before and after inspecting everything I can on Monday following the holiday, Tuesday's "out box" is in good shape because so much of the background work had been completed.:wink: </span>

Pamela....Thanks for the reminder! I did that for a number of years, too! Let me know how it feels (being a cook, server and hostess)..... :lol: Don't get carried away on being "normal" though! Remember, we're not! :lol: When Monday hits us upsideofthehead it'll all come back!

I'm also cooking for the big T day - my brain is sooo fried that I'm almost at a loss as to what to cook other than the big bird. Any EASY receipes? Notice the emphasis on EASY remember my brain is fried. :roll:

Will be spending Friday catching up alot of jobs and cleaning up from T day. Will at least have plenty of left overs to dine on.
Have a great Turkey day everyone.

Late Wednesday afternoon, we're taking the dogs and heading up north to da'UP doncha know. Cold and snow and a cedar log home and fireplace and snowshoes and fishing talk and laughter and a glass or two of wine and Judy and my best friend.

No phone.

No appointments.

No LO's calling.

No tape measure.

No digital photos.

No driving 200+ miles on inspections.

No URAR's, 2055's or addendums.

No additional comps.

Just 3 1/2 days of hanging out, enjoying life. Just what the doctor ordered in these hectic times.

Y'all have a good one yourselves.


Richard & Judy

Given that I took off 2 days last week, I've gotta work Wednesday. But we're closed Friday. Gotta have a life, too, you know.

One year, when I was much younger and much more foolish, I did an inspection for an AMC on a house out in the country on Thanksgiving day. It was a rush job, of course, and the owner was only in the area for the holidays. When I still had not been paid in December, I called to complain, and was informed that since my invoice did not arrive until after December 1st, I would not be paid until February. Because, "that's how our accounting system works." I promptly told them to remove me from their vendor list.

As of 12:30 this afternoon, I'M OUTTA HERE!!! Youall have a nice holiday, ya hear?
