Okay as for the house buying, I'm convinced there is still more room in the house buying industry for another middle man. My real estate agent is great, she helps me find properties and handles a lot of the details, but I still have a lot of leg work to do. Maybe this is more just because I'm me than the nature of real estate. But after choosing the property, it seems there's a title company, mortgage broker, and all sorts of mortgage options. Surely there should be a position where you talk to this person and you say, get me the cheapest most logical option and then they return with here's the mortgage you want, here's the mortgage broker, and here's a settlement company that is reasonable and reliable.
Really my real estate buying experience hasn't been fun per se, but not horrible either. I just didn't realize there could be SO many options.
Is anyone out there?
Let the finals season begin. Just a few more weeks left. Then I'll officially have an MS. Never thought it would be this difficult. It's not even difficult per se, I'm just not used to the lifestyle anymore. Then again, what lifestyle am I used to these days?
How does blogging affect you? I find myself reserving what I say here to day to day activities and maybe major events, but I hesitate to provide opinions on my mind etc. Some of the things I worry about are getting fired (difficult at the moment, but not implausible in the future) or just being ostracized for my opinion. I've never been much for arguments. Well, I guess that's not completely true. It depends on the subject.
But here's another thought, if you worked in position where your perception is part of your value, how does a blog affect you? Increase or decrease business? Does it do anything?
I've read so many articles about how blogs are affecting the world. It reminds me of the radio show back in the early days of radio where people believed that aliens were invading and it caused mass confusion.
Josh thinks reading my blog is amusing when done existentially. Really, I think I just write in a stream of consciousness style here. But if it brings a smile to someone's face that's great.
For those of you who apply, Irwin's birthday is coming up so don't forget.
