REAL ESTATE AGENT
Install bedroom closet organizer. That was what the text message sent. I got to the house and it was vacant. I had talked with the real estate agent and I thought she had said that the house was occupied. My first job there was to take all the trash out of the house. It smelled. That finished, I went to the master bedroom and looked at the closet. This would be an easy job, especially with nobody around to start talking to me and interrupting. If I could do three of these a day I'd be very happy. Just get in and get them finished. So I have nobody bothering me in the house but then the real estate agent starts calling and asking a bunch of questions. I wanted to just tell her that this is not a big project and that I should be finished in about two hours. This was not going to be okay. She wanted to bring someone around in an hour to look at the house. Could I finish sooner? I said that I couldn't. But personally I didn't think that any buyers would mind me working in one little room. The real estate agent hung up and then called back and said that the people wouldn't be coming over after all.
