I shouldn't have been surprised when I read that CareerCast.com named "real estate agent" as the fifth most stressful job. We rank right up there with Surgeons, Pilots, Photojournalists & advertising account executives. How ironic that someone reporting on war finds their job just a tad bit more stressful than ours. There are times I do feel like I am on the front line! Enemies coming out from hidden places. Targets on our backs. Hours spent with allies only to find out they are truly the bad guys. But like the pilot that lands safely, we provide soft landings for our clients. Like the surgeon that completes a complicated surgery to save someones life, we conduct and complete complicated transactions for our clients well being.

This is so true, at Chaparral we make it a point to try and have a little fun each day on the job. Light hearted office pranks have been known to occur, surprise doughnut days, bowling parties, etc.
Point is, all of us need to relax and its healthy to do so!
