Things have been a bit crazy in my world. Some of you may remember back around Thanksgiving I posted about the property I manage being up for sale and some prospective buyers touring it.
The offer was made and accepted, I was told a couple weeks ago to get ready for the closing to happen late February, so we should have had about 5 or 6 weeks to get ready.
I had a meeting with the new management company and they made me a very good offer to stay on and work for them. The company I had been working for really only had one property I could transfer to and I would have taken a significant pay cut and added the maintenance duties to my work load. I chose to accept the offer from the new company.
Got a call early last week that they were hoping to close last Friday, then they pushed it back to this Tuesday, then it didn't happen. On Wednesday morning I was told they wouldn't close until Thursday or even Friday, then a couple hours later got a call that they had closed the deal! Talk about feeling like a yo yo!
The old company had locked me out of their systems on Monday (no one bothered to tell the IT guy to hold off a few days and he thought it had closed last Friday) Since it was going to close within a few days he refused to let me back into the system! OK, people are paying their rents but I can't deposit them or post them in the accounting system??? I couldn't do any leasing or lease renewals, no notices, nothing!
The new company didn't have all the rent rolls or other information, or control of the property so they couldn't do anything but wait. Now that they do have control it's been a scramble for everyone to get everything up and running on such short notice. Of course they also use TOTALLY different systems for EVERYTHING! I have had my head in training manuals all day and my ear is bruised from being on the phone so much!
I don't think I've made much progress, but I have strained my eyes, killed my back & hips from sitting so long, bruised my ear with the phone on my shoulder while I type, and royally pissed Zilla off! She hasn't had hardly any Mommy time for the last few days and she is letting me know how "displeased" she is with me. Morning "coffee" time is all we've had the last few days, I drink my coffee and she eats her breakfast while we "chat" then in the evening I give her dinner while I keep working and by the time I can sit and relax she is wanting to go to sleep.
Sunday can't get here fast enough! Sunday I am all Zilla's for the whole day!
