First completed file!

I'm obviously really bad at keeping up with this blog.  However, I only have one follower and one other semi-reader, so I don't feel so bad!!  haha

Work has been super super super busy and super super super stressful.  I have made up 9 of the 10 hours that I owed bossman and I am certain many more overtime hours are in my near future.  June is the most busy month I think I've witnessed there.  Everyone is still trying to beat the HST.  The last four working days on the month are going to be absolutely insane.  I'm not really sure how everyone is going to pull all this shit together but it will get done.  Just don't expect any of us to be smiling!


So I have all of my files sitting on my desk and slowly going forward.  I worked on my first sale file today!  One of the other girls went through a sale file yesterday while I followed along with her.  I wrote everything down because there is just so much to do, but today I was able to do the sale file mostly by myself.  This was the sale file that was thrown at me out of the blue because I had a question on the file and she decided she didn't want to answer me and so therefore I was working on the file.  And they clients have a purchase too.  The purchase isn't for two weeks after the sale closes and one of the clients is leaving on Monday for a few weeks.  So it's a big rush job.  Luckily we got the mortgage documents late this afternoon so I can prepare teh purchase file without having to prepare a power of attorney.  And then she can sign before she leaves the country.  Now I just have to make sure I get all the purchase documents ready for signing.  As I STILL don't have my license/disc on Teraview, I can't prepare the actual transfer or mortgage/charge documents, so I will have to get one of the other girls to do that part for me.  But luckily I asked bossman about it today (for like the fifth time) and we faxed out the request for my name and password this afternoon.  Which means that I better be getting it goddamn soon!  Then I can ACTUALLY finish the whole file on my own.  Maybe by the end of the month when most of my other files are due.

The girl that took over the front desk has already left.  She apparently was offered a better position somewhere else, I assume in her field.  No one really talked about it prior to her departure, so when we arrived on Monday and found that she was no longer coming in, it was a bit of a shock.  But another girl that has been there the past two summers has returned.  She has the phones, filing and copying down pat.  The only problem is that I know have to train her how to open files.  I feel I just did that.  The other girl never really got it down pat so I am more hopeful about this one.  Not as fast of a learner though, but we'll get there!

I thought we were finally finished opening up all the files for June but we got three more today.  Bossman has decided that he would not be accepting anymore transactions for the end of the month so these ones were earlier in the month.  Which is also pretty annoying because things need to be done really fast and quick.  But I have passed those ones on to the experts to get through them since I am way too green and slow at it thus far.

Two weekends in a row we have gone to stag and does.  Although I am not a fan of having to drive over an hour every weekend for 6 weekends in a row, we have already won several exciting items.  The highlights are a 26 of Smirnoff, aromatherapy sets, bracelet, candles, gym bag, $25 gift certificate to a pub and $100 gift certificate for a fancy pants restaurant.  Very exciting.  Plus we have another stag and doe this weekend in which we have the chance to win a signed Alexander Ovechkin jersey, among other things.  Which is also very exciting!!  But it's going to be a full out fun weekend.  Prior to the stag and doe we are going to see Walking with the Dinosaurs at Copps Colliseum!  It is an early birthday gift from my boy!  Wooooot!  And then after the program, we are staying over in a fantastic looking little hole in the wall in Brantford, where the stag and doe is.  No plans for the afternoon after yet, but we will have to find something entertaining to do in the town.  I've never been in that area in the day time so maybe there is a big highlight that I must see!  Any tips of what to do in the Brantford on a Sunday?!

I am certainly glad that tomorrow is Friday.  This week has been a bit of a mess.  As was last week.  Month end.  And now month beginning of an insane month.  Plus the air conditioner has decided to konk out.  So even if it's not too hot outside, it's at least 15 degrees hotter indoors.  We all have desk fans directly in our faces and still all sweating up a storm.  It might be helping me lose my weight though!  Started the Weight Watchers last week and this Tuesday on weigh in day I was done another 2.5 pounds.  So in total, I am down 8.5 pounds.  I eat pretty well during the week but then comes the weekends where stag and does provide fattening foods and liquor.  And my boy can eat anything because he's a skinny guy and never gets fat.  BAH TO HIM I SAYS!!!  So I have prblems restraining myself on weekends.  But I think the healthy times during the week compensate for it.  At least so far.  Fingers crossed for more good times and weight dropping off.
