Tuesdsay, June 9th, 10:23pm Is it normal that I'd rather have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner than have a meal out with a boring guy? PP & J because this was the only thing I could find in my fridge that wasn't spolied. I actually found spoiled butter. OMG. Am I a messy bachelor trapped in the body of a single woman? I was so disgusted with myself. Who has spoiled butter? Apparently I do :-( Gross. I don't even want to know how long that takes to happen. This all happened because I came home from a long day at the office, decided instead of the gym (which yeah, I talked myself out of successfully this morning) I'd go down to the corner bar next to my apt, Bobby Van's and have a glass of wine. So long story short, whenever I leave the house I feel bad for Luna (my dog) so I trick her with a treat and sneak out the door. Half way down in the elevator I realized I forgot my wallet upstairs, but luckily I found $17 in my purse. I figured it's enough for my "unwind" glass of wine and rather than disturbing Luna I will just contunue to the bar. Long story short, I know the bartender so I tell him to give me a glass of wine that will stay within my $17 budget because I forgot my wallet upstairs. The next thing I know, the whole bar knows I have no money and wants to pay for my drinks and dinner including the bartender. (so now you Ladies have a recession tip!) I didn't do this on purpose. Long story short, some man was like glued to my side. I was texting, as usual and he made some bad joke about me and my blackberry. Not a good idea!! He invited me for dinner but conversation was boring, and he insulted my blackeberry, so I went home and ending up with Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. Is it normal? I don't know.  Anyway, other than that, today was a good day. I have an opportunity to pitch for a huge new exclusive account. Really big. They already told me that they do not want to hire a big company and I know I was highly reccomended to them. So now, it's up to me. I am meeting first with one member of their group to go over their buildings and what their needs are. Then in about two weeks I will be making a prsentation to a bunch of partners flying in from the midwest. Good stuff. This meeting has been in the works for about a year now. This group is buying 100 Million dollars worth of NYC Real Estate in the next 2 year time span and I would be the rental broker for all the residential units. I don't want to jinx it. But I have a good feeling. We'll see. What they need from me, is exactly what I specialize in. They need someone that works for Landlords, understands the rental market, and I do. No question. I'm looking forward to our meeting. I know $100 million dollars sounds like a dream, but this is for real, I know because I have been in touch with this group all year. They have been setting themselves up and searching for properties, educating themselves about the market. It's actually quite an honor to be considered to be a part of their team. I hope they don't read my blog and think I'm a ding a ling! Ha. The personal touch goes a long way. Thus the blog. Well, I will end tonight blog with a funny story. I went tonight to show an apt I have for sale which is a very good deal BTW at 55 East End Avenue. (see my website a JR4 for only $469K) So not one but two agents came from a "big firm" I will leave them nameless, I guess they work as a team, they brought their customers to see my listing. Long story short, I think the couple thought it was a little too small for them, so one of the other brokers tried to make some small talk on the way out. So he asks me, "Your name is Adina right? Is the firm named after you?" I think he was expecting a whole long funny story about how my boss named the firm after me? I have no idea, so I said, "Yes, it's named after me, I'm the Owner, it's my firm." His partner, hits him, as if to say "you idiot". Maybe you had to be there...To be continued.
