I am approximately 95% of a don’t-stop-until-it’s-done kind of person.  (Except for tonight.  I have a report due that is going to wait until morning.  I am at 12+ hours of working today and I’m going to bed!)

Anyway, let’s put this don’t-stop-until-it’s-done feature of mine together with my passion to take care of people.  Paired together, those traits make me very good at serving my clients well as a Real Estate Broker.

Then there are days like today.  I have a client out there with a problem.  And I have been to the point of distraction because I can’t fix it.  I didn’t know it was a problem until after 4pm today.  I can get a lot done in a short amount of time.  But I can’t make other people stay and work late on a Friday afternoon.  *URGH!*  If I had known earlier, maybe I could have done something!  Maybe I should have quadruple checked this morning.  Maybe I should have driven to South Carolina and stood outside of a woman’s office until everything was done right.

I wish I could fix this.  These people are not going to have the weekend they deserve.  It was on my watch . . although out of my control and without my knowledge.  I have to keep reminding myself of the last part.  I didn’t know.  There’s no way I could have known there was a problem unless someone told me.

Tonight I am thankful that there’ll be another chance to fix this all on Monday morning.  And you can bet, I’m going to do all I can to get this fixed first thing Monday morning!!!  In the meantime, I pray this family has a good weekend despite the change in their plans.
