Do I get hazardous duty pay for this? - 11/19/06 09:17 PM
As if the job isn't stressful already, sometimes the inhabitants at a property make it a lot more difficult. Just last Wednesday, an agent in Indiana had a run-in with a horse while showing property. See Horse attacks real estate agent.
I'm glad she's okay, but I can't help chuckling because it reminded me of my own crazy real estate experience with livestock. Before dawn one morning, I headed out to see an old farmer who was interested in selling some pasture land for retirement.

Last week I found myself in the hospital twice with pneumonia. What I first thought was a bad batch of gumbo turned out to be a serious asthma attack. A couple of days later, I was back in the hospital to stay awhile. It was a scary experience, but it reminded me of some good advice we’ve all heard before: “Never stop learning.”
