Real Estate Business Cards Part II

Thank you for all the votes. Unfortunately I have been told by many people I need to smile more. Therefore, I took a few more pictures and narrowed it down to two.

I also created a new blog devoted strictly to my experiences in the Real Estate industry. If you are interested please follow me on there as I will probably be posting many polls looking for your guys opinions.

LIRR, Please decommission these old trains

I am not sure if LIRR is trying to get these old trains decommissioned or not but they are making a great claims with these bathrooms.

Yesterday morning everything was going fine, until the train arrived and it was an old train. As the doors opened the stench from the bathroom was horrific. It smelt like someone had died in the bathroom and forgot to flush on his way out. Usually I can tolerate the smell, when it's not too bad, but this was just way too strong of a stench to deal. I had to move toward the front of the car away from the bathroom. I didn't feel like switching cars because I hate moving from car to car while the train is moving, it's just freaky.

I beg you Long Island Rail Road PLEASE decommission this nasty old trains, or at least have a cleaning crew clean the bathrooms before your send out the train to pick up hundreds of people at 7:30 in them morning. We pay to much money to have to deal with smelling shit for 50 minutes while we commute into the city.

Real Estate Business Card Picture

For those of your who may not know, I will soon be a Licensed Real Estate Sales Associate (or Agent). As you probably real estate is about getting your name out there, and one way to do that is by handing out business cards and fliers and stuff. To make this even more successful it’s worth while to put your picture on the business car and flier and on the company’s website (Century 21 American Homes). The picture on there is ok but I think the size of the picture caused the picture to get distorted and it might be a bit too dark, so I decided to pick three pictures and resize them properly. Since the poll on here wont let you add images as your options I have posted the pictures below. If you would be as so kinda as to help me decide which photo to go with for my business cards and to put on the website, it would be greatly appreciated.

And since blogger doesn't have polls to add to your posts and I can't seem to figure out how to add the poll I created on Facebook to my profile, if you would like to vote and help me out please visit my Wordpress blog: WTF!? IS UP WORLD and help a brother out. You opinion is greatly appreciated.

It's funny cause it's true...

  1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.
  2. If it's really a rush job, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps. Or even better, hover behind me, advising me at every keystroke.
  3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.
  4. If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books, or supplies, don't open the door for me. I need to learn how to function as a paraplegic and opening doors with no arms is good training in case I should ever be injured and lose all use of my limbs.
  5. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is priority. I am psychic.
  6. Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no life beyond work.
  7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. If that gets out, it could mean a promotion.
  8. If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversations. I was born to be whipped.
  9. If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done. No use confusing me with useful information.
  10. Never introduce me to the people you're with. I have no right to know anything. In the corporate food chain, I am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.
  11. Be nice to me only when the job I'm doing for you could really change your life and send you straight to managers' hell.
  12. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it's nice to know someone is less fortunate. I especially like the story about having to pay so much taxes on the bonus check you received for being such a good manager.
  13. Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating with a cost of living increase. I'm not here for the money anyway.

Anyone who has worked in an office environment and really anywhere can attest.

Turn down the music...seriously

WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO BLAST THEIR MUSIC. NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR YOUR MUSIC. THEY CALL THEM HEADPHONES FOR A REASON, TO KEEP THE FUCKING MUSIC TO YOURSELF. IF HALF THE TRAIN CAR CAN MAKE OUT WHAT SONG YOUR PLAYING IT'S TOO FUCKING LOUD. IF THEY MP3 PLAYERS WERE MEANT TO GIVE A FREE CONCERT TO EVERYONE WOULDN'T THEY HAVE A SPEAKER BUILT IN?

AND YES I WROTE THIS IN ALL CAPS CAUSE IM FUCKING ANNOYED.

THANK GOD ITS ALMOST FRIDAY.

Under 2 bucks...

Can it be true? Can you really get gas for under 2 bucks? Yes, you can. I am sure there are other gas station with gas under $2, but I got this from the BP on Hempstead Tpke. & Wantagh Pkwy. Of course they do the fucking ridiculous cash/credit different prices (as you can see). So I ended up paying @2.09 for my gas but still, it's HELLA CHEAP!!



I got 11 and a quarter gallons for about 24 bucks. I don't think I can remember the last time I was able to fill my tank for closer to 20 bucks rather than 40/50 bucks. I hope this stick for a long time, cause when you gotta fill your tank just about every week, it's nice to be able to do so for close to 20 dollars

Friggin A...

Friggin A why is it so hard to talk to a pretty girl you want to get to know? Is it the fear of rejection? Perhaps it's the fear of embarrassment. Perhaps its a combination of the two.

I just don't understand why it's so difficult for me to talk to a girl I find attractive. For the past couple of weeks I have had my eye on this one girl. She commutes into the city same time as me. We take the 7:43. She usually boards the second to last car and I usually wait for the last car. I keep playing this scenario in my head where we would meet each other on our walk from the car to the platform, however I keep missing her by the slightest second.

So today, I decided to deviate from my normal routine of waiting for the last car of the train and follow her and wait where she waits. Of course, my shyness/fear of rejection/fear of embarrassment took over and I failed to say "Hi, good morning." So later I decided to take the 6:05 train home, the train she normally takes, but yet again I failed to say anything.

It's just so frustrating knowing you could be throwing something away by not saying, "Hi." I keep telling myself just say, "Hi," if it blows up then go back to your normal routine and never see her again, but when the time comes, my heart starts to beat really fast and I get all clammy and cotton mouth and nervous and just stand their, probably looking like an idiot, with the occasionally glances at her and then looking the other way.

ARRRRRGH!! why is this shit so difficult. Tomorrow will be the day. I AM GOING TO SAY HI (at the least)
