Still alive and kicking

Im good. been very busy and at this time do not have a computer to use at home so I have to sneak in on my work time. Hope every one is well. Hopefully I can give you all an update soon.

FAILURE!!!!

It is hard to admit when you fail. But you have to suck it up and deal. There is no way to hide my failure on this. I took over management of a sales lot on NOV 1 2012. I actually came from airport straight to work. It was my first day back from Vegas. I was excited and nervous. Had a lot of good ideas and thoughts. I worked it pretty hard. Freshened my office and grounds. Ran new ads. Had a smile on my face. And the business was coming in. It was a little slow but there was some traffic. Well deal by deal we picked up we lost. I know why. I was not as educated in the sales end of things like I am in the service end of things. I could have used some training but was also busy trying to help the other store on there service end of things. Among running this store I was still the field manager on the construction. So I was only in the office maybe 3 days a week if that. I had a good sales man but he needed a little guidance on some things and I was not the best one at times. We tried to learn some from the other store but they just wanted to do the job and not teach us on what they did. So I can make excuses all day long but it comes down to this. I picked up about 5 deals and lost them all for various reasons. Since Nov we have not sold a house. My store got the ax on Tuesday. I am working tomorrow in hopes of maybe picking up a deal to carry with me to the other store but I am really low. The hardest thing for me is my fried "amigo" he has lost his job. It hurts me to know I have been part of the reason some one is unemployed. Every one says its a hard time to sell homes and to not take all the blame. I do agree I could have used some more education on things but reality of it all is I failed. I did not uphold my end of what a manager is responsible to do. It sucks so bad. I will be going back to the other office to head up the service issues and be the field contractor again. I am at a very low spot though. A good friend of mine has helped me with things. Actually I have had several friends make me see the good side of things. All I know is I am in a change and I have to look at it as good. I hope all my blog friends are well.

Just a catch up

After reading my blog I see that a lot of things changed but I did not share them with you. I never went fishing. Hurricane Sandy stopped that. I booked a trip to Las Vegas. I had fun but lost my ass at the poker table. It come form a little inexperience and just being nervous and drunk. Since then I have played a few tournaments and placed 2nd and 3rd. So I know what I am doing it all depends on how the cards fall and if I stay off the bottle. I do have to say I love the town of Las Vegas and would move there if I didn't have my 2 precious little girls here. Me and the wife, x wife, separated wife, what ever you call her and my girls went to the Bahamas on a Disney cruise. I do have to say that Nassau is not a family friendly place. We went on a glass bottom boat tour and the ladies went back to the boat. I took off on a trek to the fish fry. Its really just a bunch of small run down looking redcurrants that serve food and beer. Me and my culinary adventures had to try it. So I did. I had conch fritters and a conch salad made fresh in front of me. Also try the Kalik and Sands beer both local to the island. I have to say that I walked a lot because ever taxi driver that asked if I needed a ride also asked if wanted blow, smoke, hash, weed. I decided that walking the mile or longer back was not to bad of an idea. The only thing I wish I would have done is by some Cuban cigars, I know they are not allowed in the US but customs was a big joke. I could have snuck in a person lol. The next day was on Disney private island which was fun we had a bbq and me and my oldest daughter went swimming with the stingrays. Most things where for 5 and over so not to much for my youngest girl to do. I think if she would have been older it would have been a little more fun for her. But over all it was good. I am now managing one of our sales lots. It is a lot of stress cause business is slow but it is my job to create business and sales. I'm stumbling forward and should survive. Honestly I think my boss aka my dad is going to move me back to the other sales lot to take care of the service issues there. Either way as long as I can keep a job I guess I will be okay. I like the town I am in now and do not like the other town where the other store is but will do what is best for the company. My Christmas was great. My kids got so much shit it is ridiculous but hey that's how it goes. I hope every ones Christmas was great and you have a Happy New Year. And a grand WELCOME BACK to Bob (http://papawatson.blogspot.com/) Bob I know you have a hard long road in front of you but welcome back it is great to see you post. I hope to see many more.

Quick post, I am fed up with all I have going on. The saving grace is I get to go fishing, I leave Sat and come back on Wednesday just in time to trick or treat. This will hopefully hold me over till I take my big trip which will be to Vegas. I had hope to go in Nov but it may get pushed to first of the year. I do go on a Disney cruise at the end of Nov but its with the ex and the kids. so will will have to see how that goes.

Vacation

My bitch for the day...... How is it you feel you do must the work but the boss man aka my dad gets all the vacation time. I mean I know the answer, He owns the company and can do what he wants. I guess my 5 days a week for about a year straight is catching up with me. Oh well.... maybe he is atleast enjoying the Bahamas on the hard work I do for him. Dont know this band but do the song
