This Q&A section.

Michael,

Definitely like Nina Hollander and Candice A. Donofrio mentioned, a shortage of dark chocolate.  We actually drove a bit out of our way for an appt, because we knew that the store there had our 86% dark chocolate favorite.  And we bought every bar they had...A

Some days, it's life in general! Absence of chocolate in my life is a big stress factor. People who are late for appointments totally stress me out.

I agree with Brenda Mayette . It can be hard for me to not stress out when I feel like I am not in control. It is especially hard when I have alot going on at once. When I can step back, think about it, and figure out how to handle the situation I can chill.

Stupidity in upper management, lower management - even the cleaning crew.

My husband's musical instrument shopping addiction--now that's stressful. ;)

People with bad driving habits.

Life's too short to be anything but happy

My hubby sometimes, but I love him in spite of himself.   He means well but after I've had a long day; I want to come home and relax.

He, on the other hand, wants to talk about how my day went.   I know he's being caring and compassionate but I don't want to relive my day's activities.

 I love you honey but I need to kick back, relax and leave the stress of the day

AT THE OFFICE !

stupid clients

People who request a prompt response and then delay responding to you!

Underwriters!

not much...

Waiting.....for anything or anybody

I hate the wait when I put in an offer until I hear back.

Non stop harasser want you take care of everything after transaction expect you to fix every concern at no cost to them.  

Appraisers who OVER price REO listings in poor condition but under price owner occupied homes in great condition. Banks that cant sign their deeds so we can close. 

Not very much

Too many Details and their Deadlines

Some things cause stress eg delay in mortgage approvals.

Lack of control...

Morning Michael.  At this time in my life not much.  

People who are not fully engaged: they are distracted or worse: "multi-tasking.

They do not follow simple directions, or do not listen to a voice-mail before calling you back and people who don not read a post entirely before commenting on a blog.

When a week goes by and very quiet, and EVERYONE wants something on one day often times in a short timeframe.

Things out of my control.

TeamCHI - Complete Home Inspections, Inc. - unethical behavior of other agents - and their focus on Transactional business only and not on relationship.

taxes

People that can't make up their minds.

Stupidity and idiot who can't put a dumbell back on the rack in the proper spot!

People who 'live' to be Drama Queens - especially if it involves family, where you cannot always 'laugh it off' - HA! - TeamCHI - Complete Home Inspections, Inc.!  And, more on the day-to-day routine, people who have not learned all aspects of their job, and are not 'new', just not 'competent'.  

Dumb agents.

MLS inputs by listings agents with incomplete or inaccurate APN numbers.

overall incompetence ... yet I do not let it get to me as much as I used to. I meditate to manage.

life is to short to get stress anymore

This election process.

incompetent real estate agents...

People who are always late, and bad drivers

The noise of someone chewing on ice cubes. Not very many people do this I am sure but jeez, do it some place else!

Rush hour

TeamCHI - Complete Home Inspections, Inc. Not much.

People who call and call and call.  Agents not getting back with me.  People not doing their jobs and causing delays!
