Rushed Saturday Mornings Are Back

Saturday morning...it's a Saturday tennis morning. This is Brad's 2nd week back to playing team tennis. We are back to being slightly rushed on Saturdays. I woke up with enough time to get Landon's walk in then get back and make Brad's pre-match breakfast. He wanted a little something different for his pre-match breakfast today. I shuttered as he told me what he wanted. We've been through lots of experimental food options. Foods that give him energy but don't slow him down. So if it isn't broken don't fix it. Well the pre-match breakfast wasn't broken but Brad wanted something different. Next let me apologize to the carton of milk in our fridge. I'm sorry it's not your fault. But if Brad loses his match today there is ZERO doubt in my mind as to where the blame goes...milk and me! The milk will get 80% of the blame and I'll skate by with 20% of the blame. I'll share in the blame because I didn't insist more that he should NOT drink milk before a match. Trust me if he loses that's how it's going down in our household. I know him rather well! LOL! ;) Oh that husband of mine! Gotta love him!

As I type this I'm watching some college football...of course! I'm already in my ASU shirt. Come on Sun Devils, I have cleared my afternoon so I can watch.

Let's see what else is going on in our world. Brad switched properties about 2 months ago and he is wondering why he didn't listen to his wifey. He's realizing it's not so great working at an A+ elite property. The residents are stuffy, unfriendly, act as though they are too good for the rest of the world oh and when they don't get their way they have the corporate offices on speed dial. Yeah, sometimes it's not so great working at such a nice property in his line of work.

Quite a few years ago while I was working on getting my real estate license I worked as a leasing agent at 2 different apartment complexes. One property was a "B" level property, it was much better in my opinion. The residents had realistic expectations, were more understanding, plus friendly. I also worked at an elite downtown Bellevue complex. Bellevue is a ritzy area in the Seattle suburbs. That Bellevue property was a lot harder to work at, due to the different demographic of people the ritzy complex aimed at. Oh man, no one was ever happy in that complex, numerous ridiculous complaints daily. Personally I believe to work and even live it's better to be at a "B+" then an "A" or "A+" level complex. The people are more realistic, friendly, and there's more appreciation on both sides(resident side and staff side). I honestly tried to warn Brad before he switched properties 2 months ago but he wanted to stay with his team of co-workers. Which I completely understand too. But yeah working the elite properties are not as fabulous as one might think.

Time to end this and move on to other things today...laundry needs to be done as well as a few other things before I can completely relax and settle in to watch my Sun Devils.
