A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To My Salesmeeting!
Now that I have had the chance to get over it, I have to laugh at my predicament.
I was hurried this morning, I had to leave my house no later than 8:15 to make my connection. I was meeting my new Partner - Julie Hughes Nix at my office so that we could ride together to the corporate sales meeting of Power Realty. It was her grand introduction to everyone, and my proud moment as being the recruiting agent of the month and winning $$$$$ too! I was absolutely SIKED about the meeting. Of course, I am always excited because Power Realty is THE BEST company I have ever worked for, and I am so proud to be there.
Anyway, As I was putting my bags into my car the dog jumped on the front door and it shut. It was locked. My keys..all of them, were in the house! I could not believe this was happening to me! What in the world would I do??? We have a spare house key hidden outside. It has been there for months. However, over the weekend, we needed it and it was inside on the counter. Great!
I considered calling a locksmith, as I did have my cellphone on me. But I had no idea WHO to call. I live 20 minutes out in the country. How long would I be sitting here waiting? I am hot now, the temperature is high, the humidity is horrible. I was already having a bad hair day..now it's just laying there on my head. I was dressed up in a linen blazer...shedding that as I sit in my car sweating and wondering WHAT to do. The blazer is now wrinkled as if it just came from the bottom of a pile of clothes.
I called my broker, and she says OH NO!! You HAVE to be there! ( Any other time my branch manager would have come to pick me up, however she was having a blast at Disney World in Florida while this catastrophe was going on.)

It was then I remembered....my we were working on something in the yard last weekend and didn't put all the tools away. I looked, and there...YES! It was a huge, long crowbar!! I hooked that baby in the doorframe and pushed it hard and with great cracking and splintering the door was open!!! I got my keys and took off! Good thing I have a guard dog IN the house- no worry someone will come in until I get home and attempt to repair the damages!
I arrived ON TIME, looking like I just came from an outdoor shower with my clothes on. But I was there!
And a good time was had by all!
Your AVAILABLE agent...and I REALLY mean that!
