Labor Day

I remember when I was a kid in elementary school and throughout high school, Labor Day, the last hoorah of summer then the first day of school on Tuesday.

During High School I worked the games at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, and it seemed that I always worked on Labor Day. It was the last hoorah of summer, right? The Boardwalk was always busy until about 6 p.m. when people started packing up and heading home.

Then, I worked in retail and in a movie theater, Labor Day was just another work day for me. People still needed to play and do the things that we do other days of the week, only they got to do it on Monday instead of Saturday or Sunday.

Then I spent 20 years working for Escrow and Title Companies and Labor Day was a day of REST!!

NOW I'm a REALTOR full time, Labor Day, is back to being a day to work. Alot of my Facebook buddies today were talking about all the fun things they were doing with their families and friends. I on the other hand was holding an Open House with my trusty lender from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Though the last visitor didn't leave til almost 3 p.m.

We had several visitors, people visiting family in the area, others just out doing their various errands. We had a total of about 30 people through the house, and I think that we may have gotten 1-2 potential clients from this Open House.

I do my best not to work on Sundays, so I work as hard as I can the other 6 days a week. I am glad I worked today, yeah maybe it was only 3 hours, but it was still a good day. Now I can rest from my labor, have a great rest of the holiday.
