office duty

I am assigned office duty today from 10-1:30.

I speak to M before leaving.  She asks, "Are you doing sales or rentals today?"  "Anything," is my answer.  Though unintended,  her question is a provocative one,  as most likely I'll be doing neither.

I get to the office on time and the door is locked.  I stand around waiting for someone to show up. Fortunately, another broker comes a few minutes after ten.  The office assistant apparently doesn't come until eleven, and I have no key.  I will have to remember on Monday to get one.

Today I will be the one to service anyone who walks in off the street.  Unfortunately, no one does. Nor does anyone call.  Our office is not in a high-traffic area.  And although there are street strollers on this gorgeous spring day, no one is committed enough to come in.  

I sit at my desk in my 3 inch heels and look at listings.  I improve my knowledge of existing inventory. And I have too much time to think.
