You ever had 'one of those days' where you are wondering if it's a full moon? The full moon brings up all kinds of chemistry changes and mind boggling conversations during a phone conversation...or just a 'walk in' to the office.
Events at the office on a Monday:
- I get a phone call and the person saw my blog I had written on Veterans. He wants to move to a warmer climate and wants to know what kind of programs VA offers here. I talk to him for a few...pull up the VA contact number and direct him to speak with VA about specific programs that may fit his needs. He also
says he wants to buy but has no email but will call me back with his sisters email address...which he didn't. - I am in the middle of talking to one of our tenants and in walks an older woman. She starts babbling about how she talked to the dentist next door about being harassed and that she has told everyone in our office and that everyone needs to know. Then she stops because she sees the tenants hat on the chair. She has a stick in her hand and proceeds to pick it up. I tell her to put it down and she instead hands it to me. Okay, at least she doesn't walk out with it. I watch her walk out to her.....grocery cart full of her belongings....and slowly stroll it away.
- In walks a teen with his girlfriend and he asks me if he can have a few listings.He proceeds to talk about how he is in high school and is doing a project on budgeting and buying a house to figure in his monthly mortgage payments. I decide to help him a bit as it is slow that afternoon and hey...helping the student would put me in the 'good Samaritan' category that day. I give him some info, a brochure of mine, my business card and go through what kind of job he may get and how much he "thinks" he can afford. We went with the cheapest one bedroom condos in the Mililani are. I printed out some listings and he couldn't thank me enough. I watched them walk out and away while his girlfriend puts her hand in his back pocket.
To extend a little compassion for the lost, lonely and young or old may just be just the food for the soul that we need each day.
This was ONE OF THOSE DAYS.

Sally, I love your customized background! Sometimes our "job" is just to be there, for whoever...we never know how one small action may affect another.
