Okay, Here I am sitting in the office on Christmas Eve doing floor time. It's just shortly before 2pm. We had some activity here in the office. I don't think the phone has rang one though.
David, one of our agents had some out of town house hunters in the office looking at condos along Alameda's shoreline. Nice folks from central New York State, our manager Nick is also from that area of New York. The New Yorkers were amazed that our chilly but pleasant weather is about bad as our Bay Area weather gets in the winter. They had to scrape ice off their car midway on their journey to the airport this morning.
Lillian another agent came in and checked her computer email messages. Her home computer is on the fritz. It's always better to come into the office and commit to Real Estate for the day.
Endina, another agent came in and was looking for a check. Dani our office administrator has the day off and the check is well secured somewhere. Endina was looking all over for it. She is transferring over to the Castro Valley office.
I had a nice conversation with a gentleman who came up to the window to look at the listings. He may move in the next year. I gave him my card and we talked about the economy and how people spend $5.00 on cups of coffee at Starbucks. He is a shareholder in McDonalds and he is very happy with the Arch card discounted coffee for seniors.
I created two new groups on Activerain this morning one for Alameda and one for San Leandro. So now I have a place to deposit some of my blogs to be of local interest. I have already mentioned Alameda so now I think I should say something about San Leandro.
I had breakfast with my dad and his friend Norm. We normally go to a restaurant called Ronakers. Ronakers is a classic coffee shop with no frills, located at Marina and Doolittle. Great friendly waitresses and a fair price. Well, today being Christmas eve, Ronakers was closed. Good for the management of Ronakers. We ended up at Elios Family restaurant at the corner of Floresta and Washington. I had a Linquica omelette. mmmm yum. remind me to blog sometime about the Portuguese heritage in the city of San Leandro and how Linquica is the hometown hero of the Sausage and Suds festival each October.
So many blogging ideas, so little time.
