I absolutely hate being late, if only because I hate waiting on others. So, on the rare occasion when I am late, I always feel really guilty.This morning, much to my chagrin, I was a few minutes late to work. I could blame it on traffic or the deluge of red lights I stopped at on my way here, but the truth is, it really came down to me being a bit over-zealous when it came to hitting the snooze button.
It's amazing how an extra nine minutes of sleep will just completely throw off the rest of your morning.
On Monday, US Olympic alpine ski racer Bode Miller finished just shy of the gold or silver medal to win a bronze. The time difference between gold medal champion Didier Defago of Switzerland and bronze medal winner Bode Miller? 0.09 seconds, making it the smallest difference between bronze and gold in the history of the Olympics.
So--nine minutes or 0.09 seconds: either way, you're messing with fate, it seems. As real estate agents, I'm sure that plenty of you out there can tell story after story about near-misses (or complete misses) no thanks to the tick-tock of the clock. Or the crunching sound of a fax machine chewing up your contract. Or the honking of car horns in the midst of a traffic jam on the way to a client's home. Or the beeping of the printer letting you know that it can't print anything because the cyan cartridge is out ("But I don't need to print in blue, just black", you say. "I don't care", it tells you. "I refuse to print anything because you're out of cyan. I'm stubborn like that.").
Of course, here at DotLoop, we've created a system that allows for agents to completely circumvent any of the above time-delayers and sanity-destroyers. Agents can complete a contract on their computer and send it to their clients instantly. No need for running around town or figuring out which direction a paper should face when faxing. It saves a lot of hassle and a lot of time.
And with all that saved time, you can even afford to hit the snooze button a few more times.

Haha, the printer issue you mentioned almost sounded too specific...
ReplyDeleteLuckily I have a lot of highway driving so if traffic isn't bad I can make up any snooze time by shifting my travel time into "unsafe driving" time.
