I can only be me!

Ok, so Tiffany has been out of the office since the 1st of December. Can I just say that I am so happy she is going to be back tomorrow! I have been going crazy! It has been really busy because rent is due at the beginning of the month and 20 people did not pay on time...that took awhile to send out 3 days. I like being the assistant manager because I don't have to have the answer to everything and I don't have to be the one dealing with all the maintenance, construction crew, corporate, etc. Now don't get me wrong, I do want to be the manager of a property. Just not this one. The thing about being in charge while Tiffany is gone is that if someone says Tiffany told me this, I have to wait to check with her, I can't just give them the answer I want to give them. And the fact that our maintenacnce can't get jobs done in a reasonable amount of time is ridiculous! On Thursday and Friday I wasn't just me, I was a leasing agent, an assistant manager and a manager. And I did it all, I sent out 20 3 day notices, I sent other residents to the legal department, I rented an apartment and I dealt with resident issues. So all in all, I handled everything and I did what I was supposed to do and I left Tiffany's desk cleaner than I found it. I just wish that now this company I work for would recognize that and give me what I deserve. Give all their employees what they deserve. Tomorrow we have TRENDS which is a huge trade show for the industry in Seattle. It will be fun to hang out with vendors and go to a few classes and see what other property management companies are hiring. So with luck, I will speak with someone tomorrow that loves me and wants me to work for them and they will call me and offer me a job! :D But I may be dreaming.
