Hating Realtors

I hate realtors.  More than I hate attorneys, I really hate realtors.  I’ve discovered the few potentials on the dating websites – are all realtors!  I hate realtors.  They are demon minions.  They are those Putty Patrol little minions from the Power Rangers.  No matter how many you squash more pop up.  Seriously.

Except, I’ve never really known why until today.  And there are exceptions, but precious few.  Realtors treat the little people like dirt.  They expect me to remember who they are and immediately know why they are appearing in my office and immediately be able to give them whatever they want.  But they cannot be bothered to say Thank You, or even a simple Good Afternoon.  At least not to me.  They cozy up to my boss like a calf at a teat, but me?  I’m chopped liver to them.  I don’t care if you can’t remember my name.  Honestly.  I know I’m just a simple secretary.  I know I’m just a little gatekeeper.  And they don’t have to remember my name or even ask for it when they come into the office.  I really don’t care.  But common decency is too much to ask from this brood of people.  They have no qualms about stepping on someone they deem insignificant.  They are like vampires, but without awesome super powers and brooding good looks (I may have overdosed on Angel lately).

Yes, this was important enough for me to awaken at midnight and write about it.  Because I really hate realtors!

hahaha! oh my gosh. this rant is just too funny. I know I work for the nicest realtors *ever*. Seriously. When he was my realtor I was like.. are you sure you are one? You are.. way too sweet and too polite. Sure enough, he just owns the company now and other people are the front runners. They are also extremely cool (and I’ve been their client).. but I know I’m incredibly lucky.

RYN: I was thrilled with the Hobbit being two movies, because that would’ve afforded enough time to tell the story – and tell it well – while not requiring too much filler. But when I heard they were making it into a trilogy, my heart sank. I understand that Jackson is using things from the appendices to fill it out, but it wasn’t necessary. It almost felt like cheating – using our memories of theLotR movies to give this one a “pass”, instead of building on its own strengths. That’s the core of my discontent – they did it backwards. The Hobbit should be more of its own movie, but since we’ve seen LotR, they’ve got to show where The Hobbit is going before it ever even gets there. Know what I mean? It was a good movie. I would’ve liked it far better if I hadn’t read the book. There was plenty of great special effects, moments, etc. But while FotR left me feeling like “yeah, I’m so pumped for the next two movies, this is going to be great!”, The Hobbit left me feeling pretty meh. It makes me want to watch LotR again more than it gets me excited for TDoS! (I have the extended editions too, maybe a marathon is in order this weekend …)

You need to realize that they have the problem (bad manners) not you and just laugh about them. And then you can start compiling a nice riveting murder mystery, since you are such an excellent writer, and let them have it in your story :-)) I cannot think of a nicer revenge than that! Besides, if you can get it published, you will earn some money – which will make the reveneg even sweeter. lololol.
