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 have a order due July 4th...you think they care if it is a holiday for the U.S. No they do not...This is a global world we live in now...its just another day...You have the option to put your self out of the office or you can choose to keep the red light on...

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.

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!)

(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.

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" ?

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 found one of my clients open, today.......had quick converstaion......next Friday, they have 20,000 orders to come in....will be giving agents extra time to complete due to massive order (if needed)......before anybody asks.......they're based out of Bloomington.......

barb23,
Are you saying it's OK to whine about "all this work" ? I haven't interpreted anything here as whining. My interpretation is that people here were hopeful for work today. Some enjoying the fact that others take off and they have an easier time getting the work. Maybe it's just differences in the way we filter information. I did get new work today and I'm not whining about it, just to be clear.

I didn't see anything as whining either. Just some commenting on how some people use one holiday as an excuse to take more days off.

Yeh, I wasn't whining - nor accusing anyone else of whining! My view is, I will do all the work someone wants to assign me. Like Dayton & Vermont were noting, "weekends" and "holidays" are pretty much "days" like any other days. I have rental property and those folks taught me a long time ago that "quittin' time" doesn't exist when you work for yourself! LOL And it's all okay, all good.
On the flipside, my point was that if I didn't get assigned any bpos today or over the weekend, it would be okay too.

My parent owned a 24 hour convenience store when I was growing up. People always ask my father why he was always open 24 hours. He always replied "I pay rent 24 hours". I grew up with the idea that you had to work and be grateful because some people are not so lucky. In Korea people suffer very much from hard times. I perceive some people here sometime as complaining that they have no time off or that the money is not so good for some orders. I am sorry if I offend some people maybe I am too rigid. I have been working 7 days a week for years. I take off Sunday morning to go to church and have lunch with my family. I am grateful to God for the work I receive. I feel sad when I see so many people right now in America are suffering and they would give anything to be in our shoes. One day I hope I have more time to enjoy the fruits of my labour and to spend more time with my family. Today I labour. America is the greatest country in the world. I am very blessed to live here.

Good post. I worked all day today and am still working... I have a full schedule for tomorrow too. However, I do plan to take a few hors to gorge myself on hot dogs and hamburgers!!!! Have a happy and safe 4th, everyone!

Excellent post...enjoy your time...........but, get ready for a BPO dam burst........I've beem getting that deep down gut feeling, again.......the last time I went through this, within a week I was buried in orders. In the past few weeks, I started seeing a pattern......old companies coming back in the picture, smaller companies increasing their orders, picked up a new major this past week (have tried for months), just lots of positives to focus on.......I think July is going to be a banner month for BPO's.....any release of REO's will happen after August 1st and don't expect a major drop. When I read this thread, it appears a few of us got some "trickle orders".........some more than others.......Last year, July wasn't a busy month, for me.... I think that is about to change........
