Best. Job. Ever.

by Mary Anne on January 15, 2009

First of all, thanks to all of you who stopped by and read The Man’s post yesterday and left a comment. He is pretty darn pleased with himself today having beat my all time comment number and is now strutting around the house like a non-robotic and way more handsome version of Al Gore claiming he pretty much invented blogging….and the internet for that matter. He had a great time and has since spent a considerable amount of time thinking about how to embarass me on my own blog going forward.

Superb.

Now…on to more pressing issues. I think I found a job I’m going to apply for. (Shhh….don’t tell my present employer. Oh wait, they read my blog…darn the luck!) It’s beyond perfect. You have to live on the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef, it pays really well, all living expenses paid, and you have to walk on a beach all day and BLOG ABOUT IT.

What????

Think I’m kidding? Oh no, friend, I’m not.

Now as you can imagine, there is some serious competition for this job. One guy tattooed, “I Heart the Great Barrier Reef” on his arm which is all fine and good until he doesn’t get the job. Then what? I hope he liked it a lot before because he is going to be lovin’ on it for the rest of his life now. That is a serious commitment to the job application process right there. One woman offered to do all of Australia’s laundry plus clean up after the kangaroos. The laundry part sounds like a pretty massive chore, but I could do that. Kangaroo poop? Um, pass.

I reviewed several of the applicants so far to see what I’m up against but my favorite so far is this happy, hyper English guy, Joseph:

On second thought, after watching him, I am not worthy of this job no matter how luxurious it is. My vote is for Joseph because more than anything, I want to watch him flailing around wildly as he vlogs from the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef….I just hope he doesn’t cause a commotion among the clown fish.

PS: Goodfather? I think this one has your name all over it….GO FOR IT!!! Just send pictures of Panda and IB, you’ll be a slam dunk. :)

I have observed that over the course of making a relationship with real estate homeowners, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in most real estate contract, a commission is paid. Finally, FSBO sellers do not “save” the commission. Rather, they fight to win the commission simply by doing an agent’s work. In doing this, they devote their money and also time to carry out, as best they will, the jobs of an broker. Those responsibilities include revealing the home by marketing, introducing the home to buyers, making a sense of buyer desperation in order to induce an offer, scheduling home inspections, taking on qualification investigations with the loan company, supervising fixes, and aiding the closing.
