Today
I spent the day wrestling with my stupid p.o.s. computer, and trying to figure out a way to email pictures without making my entire system shut down. Now, I know HATE is a strong word, but let me tell you, HATE does not even begin to cover (cover is not the word I am looking for here, but I will use it anyway) the feelings that I have towards this sorry-ass piece of garbage computer. I had to get up and leave my office at least 5 times today just so I would not put my fist through the computer screen. I'm not exaggerating, either. This computer has it out for me for some reason. So does my digital camera. And my ipod. Apparently none of my electronic devices learned a thing from the unfortunate fax incident that occured earlier this year.
So, anyway, I've really not had a very good response from the marketing I've been doing for the property I have under contract (which is generally a sign that my deal sucks, although I really do think it is a good deal, and the numbers say so, and I don't understand why no one is interested. WTF?), so I decided to call in the reinforcements to help me out. I called pretty much every wholesaler that I know of (except the shady ones), gave them the information (except the pictures, because for whatever reason, this p.o.s. computer decided it wanted to turn my images into white boxes with red x's in the middle when I tried to email them), and offered them 2k for finding me a buyer. One of the wholesalers I was talking to suggested that I upload my photos to Photobucket to make life easier. OMG !!!! You guys probably will not understand what a gift this website is to me. Seriously. I'm not kidding when I say it takes about 15-20 minutes for me to send someone an email with a picture attached (not 15-20 minutes for them to receive it, but 15-20 minutes for me to put the email together). And now I can just upload photos to Photobucket, and copy the link into my email and send it out to all of my buyers!!
WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS AMAZING WEBSITE BEFORE TODAY?????
Does it make my life really pathetic-sounding if I say that this is the best thing that's happened to me all year?
Before you answer, check this out.....
Oh, almost forgot- my ad on Rehablist is still pending, which I think is awesome. I totally understand why it should take 5-7 days to review a listing. Totally.

Photobucket rocks. I was just about to suggest it, but it looks like someone beat me to it. Oh, well, glad you got it all figured out.
I love your sense of humor and sarcasm!
