Why Am I Still Up?

I should be in bed. It's 11:18 and I have a very long and busy day tomorrow. I am finishing up the end of tonight's Grey's Anatomy. I am yet again amazed by the quality of the show. It's just amazing and every week it gets better and better. I also love The Office. Yet again Michael made a completely fool of himself.

Lee was off of work today and he met me and the kids at O'Charley's for dinner. It was not fun. Jackson was just wanting me and then pushing me out of the booth, and I mean literally. Telling me to move over and over again. I hate being in restaurants and having my kids act up. I don't like it. It's like the crying baby in church. When we left Lee took the kids to Books A Million and I went to CVS. Yes, I got a ton of stuff for $1.48 and I'm getting $15 back too. :-)

I also made really good friends with the manager that was so helpful on Sunday. When I called CVS on Monday to get them to transfer my CVS card I made a point to tell them how wonderful Randy, the manager was. I asked them to tell the district manager or whomever about him. When I went in tonight I went to Randy to thank him for all of his help and then he told me that he and his higher ups got an email from corporate about my phone call. That made me feel good because I know how important it is for people to be told their doing a good job when they are and for their superiors to know.

Oh and can I say Bob at work is going to get on my last freaking nerve. He calls me today and with a horrible cell phone reception tells me word for word now that "S at B Bank & Trust was yelling at the lunch today how she hasn't gotten got the recorded mortgage for the L closing". Ummm... the closing was 2 weeks ago. The major weakness in almost every title company is the issuance of title policies. On top of that I have been more than overwhelmed than one person should be. So any way I explain to Bob that I have actually been doing policies as I go and that most people get policies/recordings done in 6 weeks - 3 months or sometimes longer. So I'm doing good doing them in 3-4 weeks.

So after explaining to Bob how policies work and all of this crap he tells me we need to get together to figure out a way to make the process more efficient. Ummm... hello dude. I'm the only one in the flipping office and doing the work of at least 3 people. Don't tell me we need to get together and go over anything. I am doing them in a more timely manner than ever before and that's probably because I know how busy we've been and don't want to get so far behind. Then he tells me that once we formulate our plan on getting policies out speedy fast then he can use that as a marketing tool to the lenders.

Okay. Lenders like Countrywide, etc. don't care. The loan officers and processors don't give a rat's patootie when they get the policy b/c once the file closes they are done with it. It's so stupid and Bob is so like my dad and gets so over emotional and excited and loud when he talks. I can't deal with him when he's like that. Okay, then after him telling me he was going to call so and so at the bank to tell them they'd get it in a week or so I tell him I'll call them and take care of it so I can calm them down or whatever. OH MY GOSH... that's when I said something to him and I can't remember what but he said "I never said she was yelling or really upset just that she mentioned it". Now I know he did. He gets so heated, etc. and wants things done instantly and to oh my gosh. I can't even type it out. I'm about to strangle him. Seriously. I'm not kidding, I promise on my babies, that he got MAD when we didn't get as many new files in as he wanted.

What's worse is when I went into the Countrywide office last week to deliver a package one of the l/o tells me that they honestly can't stand Bob when he comes in. That he makes them cringe. She then introduces me to this other l/o he's been trying to take to lunch. She says the same thing to me. Seriously, this is the 6 or 7th person now who have said this to me. What is worse that someone from the real estate office he did lunch at this week made some negative comments about his approach and his style.

Bob doesn't see it. He ever said after the meeting about how people just love him. I am beginning to wonder if people just say stuff to him to make him go away. He's always expecting title orders from so many people and they never come in. I'd tell him something to make him leave me alone too. Oh and K the l/o at CW told me the only reason she uses us is not b/c of Bob but b/c of me and my service. I keep hearing this over and over again and it's good to hear that. I like my job!

I like my sleep. I'm going to bed after some Gatorade.
