Housing Market

OK the house went on the market yesterday at 1pm and last night I had my first prospective buyer walk through at 7:00 pm. I awoke this morning to find that the Long and Foster Elves had planted a For Sale sign in my front yard. The neighbors were a bit surprised and so was I. Damn those elves are quick! Over the last 48 hours my nerves have been stretched to their limit and I'm beginning to spazz out. I had a showing this morning at 8:45 am, one at 3:00 pm and two more tomorrow (9:00 am and 1:45 pm). I feel like I'm on a treadmill and am wondering if I have made another one of my colossal blunders. I think I'm just second guessing myself and have not been sleeping well.

The Temp Agency is a bit ticked off with me. The company that I was temping for last week (EMC) really liked my work skills and called me to see if I would be interested in staying longer with them. I agreed and asked if I should call the Temp agency people and let them know what was going on? The company representative told me no, she'd take care of it. I figured everything was set until I got a call yesterday morning from the Temp agency reassigning me to another job. I called EMC to find out what had happened and a barrage of angry phone calls ensued from the Temp agency. I apologized for the error and sincerely told them I was informed that everything was being taken care of, I did not know that communications between the two companies were not flowing. I know that we as human beings are prone to errors, hell I try to limit myself to at least 200 a day but I was terribly hurt by the Temp agency representative who yelled at me. I am not an evil person and my actions were not malicious or premeditated. So all day today I've felt like crying. It could be PMS. I'm tired and feeling a little overwhelmed right now. Selling a home is a very detailed process and I'm wondering if I'm up to the challenge of getting all of my puzzle pieces in place. ARG! I have a few more projects to finish around the outside of the house but must wait for warmer weather. Does anybody know how to replace a torn window screen? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
