I work very long hours in real estate. The benefit to it is that my clients are consistently impressed with my availability and my results, turning around paperwork quickly, and constantly scheduling appointments, writing contracts, blogging, etc. The downside is that it's very draining.
Of course I don't let my clients see how exhausted I get. They don't want groggy, disheveled Realtors representing them. They want perky, pleasant, and attentive agents on their side. I don't want to disappoint them, I want happy clients, so I give them a happy Realtor.
My secret vice: Caffeine! I'm drinking chemicals I can't even pronounce (Sodium Hexametaphosphate? Really??), and it tastes terrible. I've never actually chugged Nitrous Oxide, but if I did, it would probably taste similar to an energy drink.
The upside to it is that it does a better job of keeping me awake than gluing my eyelids open. I don't worry about it tasting good.... The less I think about the taste, the better.
