"It’s raining it's pouring, the old man is snoring." I never understood that song. We sang it as kids. I was not singing anything yesterday afternoon as I was showing houses in that down pour. There were times I felt I would be dryer if I were in my shower. Being the nice Realtor that I am, I insisted my buyers remain in the car until I had the front door to the house open. Not until you are standing in the rain, do you realize how many houses do not have front porches or over hangs.
We drove from house to house with the heater on trying to get rid of the chill we all felt. Naturally, the houses we went into had their air conditioners on so we never got warm. I passed a car wash and was almost tempted to walk through the drying cycle of the car wash.
I got home and stripped my clothes. I truly was wet down to my under garments. As a stood in the shower getting warm, I wondered how many other jobs people had where they got this wet and still had to act like nothing was wrong. Acting, that is another word to describe the job of a Realtor.
