I’m a looky-loo. I real estate dream shop online, a lot!!!! Late one night when my husband was safely sleeping, I forwarded a photo of a house on a lake I had found and the subject said, “Lets buy this instead of doing an addition to our house. It’s MUCH cheaper.”
So, instead of doing construction , we bought a house online in Quebec. Doesn’t everyone in L.A. do that? Come on. You know you do.
Well, we did.
So, there we were that first week, enjoying our pristine lake when we got our first and possibly only visitor. It was our neighbor, the retired judge who lives up the road on our quiet lake.
He was there to inform us about ecology and keeping the lake from getting that nasty blue algae that was killing a lot of the other lakes. First we heard of that. Perhaps we didn’t research enough.
It has recently come to our attention that in 90 days my husband may, or may not have a job. As the House Writer, I began immediately to work on resumés, cover letters, and all manner of beguiling a lifetime of hard and varied work into an irresistible nugget of information. No spinning or glossing is necessary in this case; the man has worked hard from the time he was driving a tractor illegally through the fields of the family farm. The work, the hard, complicated part of the thing is distilling the best of him using “action verbs” (as opposed to those other, non-action verbs) and using terms and jargon expected by the business world.
