Jeff, I thought you were going to lighten up after you told me that my comments about Judge Jackie Glass were harsh!!

Clearly the real estate lady (let's refrain from giving her the status of "Realtor") did not have a good alternative plan. Most would have sent out an assistant or colleague to cover the appointment if they had any smarts.
Let's face it, most of us here are a bit brighter. The people in the service world don't get it, they're not that bright. Well, most. Used car salespeople are a good example. No difference with used houses, IMO.
You're never going to be anyone other than yourself.
