I know it's only July 3 but some offices are taking the day off as July 4th is on Saturday. I did not get any orders yet but the day is still young. Did anyone get any new orders today?

I imagine you will see some stay open and some will close.

I think all of my clients are closed tomorrow... or at least that is my impression. A july 3rd asset assignment would be sweet though

I had two due on the 4th........was working on one when I lost my high speed.......changed over to lap top with land line to finish......talk about slow.......took like forever......BB must be working.......less than 2 minutes after I submitted, it cleared QC.........one to go and high speed is back up and running......looks like I have a free weekend......."say what?"........lol.......had one put on hold......Preservation company decided to change locks on one that's listed, still in owners name, and utilities are still active.......It's just a matter of time before these lenders get sued..NOD filed but no trustee sale.

I wouldn't mind if I had a couple of orders over the weekend . . . No big plans here, just little things around the house, so an order wouldn't get in the way . . . and June was a slow month. wink

July 4th is a holiday that occurs on Saturday. That being said, only that day should be observed as a non-buisness day! I get so tired of some people using a one day holiday and streaching it out over more than that period of time.

Look at Christmas. Some streach out that one day for well over a week if not more. Yes, I know people travel to be with their families at that time, I get it. Yet I feel that SOME use any holiday as an excuse not to work, and justify the surrounding days as an excuse to be lazy.

Then some wonder (probably those same people) why countries like Japan, China, India, etc are emerging, and we are falling behind. Rant over. (Sorry I just need to vent - Thanks for putting up with me!)

I agree very much with this rant. I will add to it that it seems whenever I have something important do to either real estate or something else it will need to be down during one of these holidays more times then not.

I always get orders on the 4th. I have a better chance of grabbing an order, they tend to sit unclaimed longer.

When I was in the Corporate world I loked forward to the holidays and the weekends. Now, they are just another day. When I get to stressed and decide I need a Holiday, I will take a day.

REODAYTON I am on the same boat. Holidays for me is just another day to go aout and take pictures and work. What I don't like is that on holidays home owner or tenants are on home and once in a while the ask...@#@$# Why are you taking oics of my house..&*^&%*&%

Jeez, be grateful you all have a job making decent or better money. The rest of the real world either doesn't have a job, or is working just as hard if not harder for crap money just to survive.

Oh, I don't know about that, b29skh . . . There are a lot of good jobs out there and I know a number of people making decent money and getting along just fine. Perspective . . . gotta keep perspective and not get sucked into that old "sky is falling" routine.

If I don't get any orders today, and my partner gets his orders all finished before this evening, then I expect my household will have this kind of a day tomorrow & be glad for it:

barb23,

Are you saying it's OK to whine about "all this work" ?
