Realtors are some of the phoniest, most deceptive people I have had the displeasure of encountering. Day after day, I witness them telling complete untruths and it disgusts me. That tactic isn’t being a star seller; that’s being a bold-faced LIAR. They are so hungry for a commission that they throw ethics right out the window and it makes me want to puke.

Today the entire office, minus the one person it impacted most, got a glimpse of the type of crap I see every day. A walk-in started discussing using our services with one of the agents. During that conversation, they told him they had already been working with another agent in our firm. At that point, he should have then referred them back to her. Not only is that the thing to do, it is also our company policy to turn them back over to the person that they had contact with first. Instead, he ignored this protocol and began initiating the process with them himself right here in the lobby.

After these folks left and he started to head upstairs to do a comparative market analysis, one of the other agents asked if they said that they had spent a half hour talking to another agent about listing the property on Friday. She asked nicely, though she was totally aware that they had mentioned it because she was standing there during their exchange. She was hoping to politely give him the hint that what he was doing was improper. Immediately, he busts out with a flippant response and stomps up the steps, “I can’t babysit everything around here!!!!!” (This from the man that I had to pester every single day for a solid month just to get him to set up his voicemail?! Are you fucking kidding?!)

Miss Agent isn’t going to stand for that kind of treatment. She follows him and says there was no need for him to be rude to her when she was just trying to help. He gets all huffy and shouts that he doesn’t appreciate her insinuation that he was stealing someone’s client. (Hmmm. Why did he immediately get so defensive and loud if he truly believed he’d done nothing wrong?) Miss Agent points out that she just asked him a question and not only did he cop and attitude with her, but he also did not answer the question. He then yells at her,” NO, the answer is NO.” Double-you tee eff. That is absolutely not true. He knows it and so does everyone else in the office because we were all right there in the same room! Dirtbag.

Miss Agent replies, “Ok. Ok, that’s fine, but that’s no way to talk to me about it.” He slams the fucking door in her face and she comes running downstairs, so angry she is shaking. And so am I. I’m sick of this guy’s shit. This isn’t the first time he has lied… except usually, he tries to blame it on being new, feign ignorance and claim whatever it was had never been explained to him (though I know for a fact it indeed was, because, again, I was sitting right there when it happened). The bottom line is that this dude SUCKS (his attitude, his knowledge, his skills) and that is why he hasn’t made ANY money AT ALL yet. I think it is only a matter of time before he is gone and I hope it’s sooner than later. Dick.

TEACHER ARRESTED IN NEW YORK – A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, the Attorney General said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. ‘Al-Gebra is a problem for us’, the Attorney General said. ‘They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.’ They use secret code names like ‘X’ and ‘Y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns’, but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.

As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, ‘There are 3 sides to every triangle’. When asked to comment on the arrest, President Obama said, ‘If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.’

White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the President. It is believed that the Nobel Prize for Physiques will follow.

Most of my resolutions involve intarweb schtuff and I can’t really focus on such as much as I’d like right now, but it is good to put my goals into words. So, without going into too much detail, I want to:

- Interact more!
I’m already making progress by tagging on CW even when I’m not camming and by making myself available on instant messengers for the first time in years, but I need to improve upon answering Facebook, MySpace and FetLife (etc.) messages, commenting on other blogs, participating in forums and being more timely with email responses. There are times when I feel I have so little of interest to say, that I choose instead to say nothing. I need to break that habit and just shoot the shit with other people [who probably feel the same way sometimes].

- Get back to doing things I enjoy!
I used to cam several times a week, listen to music every evening to unwind and go out for dinner, brunch or drinks with friends semi-regularly. I need to make the most of every present moment, not agonize over the past or future. I still have a few good years of living left, right?

- Incorporate more ‘members only’ content into my site
(i.e. blog posts, vlogs, photos, videos) to create a community vibe, which puts me more at ease and makes me more likely to interact! Sharing my life can be much more fulfilling.

- Spend more time outside too (weather permitting)
I’m obviously no Sun Goddess, but I do venture outdoors more than you’d think. Unfortunately, it is usually for short stretches like walking to and from a particular destination or dining al fresco. I need to chill outdoors for no reason other than to actually enjoy it. For example, if I’m going to read or listen to music, take my book/discman outside.

- Appreciate myself more & stop “settling!”
I know I am pretty awesome and that those try to force me to be more like them instead of accepting me as I am probably don’t deserve to be in my life. I need to remember that this is my life, not anyone else’s. I need to live it for me, not for someone else. I love myself – either you like me too or you don’t. Those that try to play both sides need to be cut loose.

I think that just about covers it! Basically, this year should be about focusing on my wants and needs, instead of always putting others first. Through that I become a better person to be around. Win-Win!
