I LOVE my job!!
I have been in Real State for 3 years as a licensed Realtor. I have maybe had 3 Buyer's. I am a Listing Manager, so my job is take the Listing, take photos, put it in the computer, make cute flyer's and sell the house. Until REO's came, now it's see if someone lives there, take a photo, post a note, offer money, pray the house is in good shape, take more photos, pray the house doesn't smell and go back every other week till it sells. This past month I have had 3 Buyer's. Now that's not a lot if you do Buyer's and that's all you do. I on the other hand have been running around like a cray person. I've worked 3 hours, shown 5 hours worked, 3 more hours, sleep and repeat two days later. I was feeling stressed and I felt I was letting things go at work. I had what we call a 4-1-1 with my boss Jenni. It's just to take a look at the goals we've set for ourselves at work and personal and what we are doing to get them accomplished. She informed me that I was doing great at my work goals, yeah I had less Listings then I wanted or I didn't sign up on all 20 websites like I wanted to but, I was doing all I could to be on my way there. I have Buyer's and that will balance out what I need to reach my work goals. Jenni rarely will ask about my personal goals as we are very open and she knows where I am on those on a weekly if not daily bases. This time she asked how much time I have been spending on me and with Derek. She said she sees the late nights and knows I go in on the weekends. She asked if I was taking care of my marriage. I realized I have putting Derek and myself in last place. Jenni talked about how she knows Derek is putting up with it now but concerned that in a few years he wouldn't put up with it anymore. How if I wasn't fitting him into my life or making time for me I wasn't on the right track. It really helped to hear from her that she knows I work hard but, I need to not work as hard and not feel guilty if I leave work on time with items left to do. I took her advise and have been leaving as on time as I can. I had a Holiday off and hung out with family, when usually if we have a Holiday off I go in and "catch up". I have a goal of one home cooked meal a week. (Note- By that I mean something I make, not from a box or package.) I have spent more nights home with Derek. I am grateful to be working for a company that really wants me to succeed at work and at home. She truly cares that I take care of me and not just her bottom line. I love my job. (Note- I have 1 escrow and wrote 2 offers this week. One good and one bad, but hey that's what I do.)
