get organized???

 Since my west coast brother didn't supply me with any special day ideas today, I decided to do my own search.  As you all know, it's easy to get lost in the wilds of the internet.  In my case, I discovered that not only does April have several special days it also has special weeks.  This week (the third full week in April) is Organize Your Files Week.  Yikes, I only have one day left.  I actually did organize my files a little, after I paid my taxes, by getting rid of paperwork I no longer need (I hope).  Actually, I'm pretty proud of myself for just having a filing cabinet, one of the nice low two drawer types that looks like furniture, and also one file drawer in my desk.  Sadly, with all that nifty space for files, which should be more than enough for someone who is retired,  I still find myself with stacks of papers waiting patiently to be filed or shredded.  It's really not so bad though.  I remember at one point in my real estate career when I was the relocation director / office manager / training manager for my office and still working with my own buyers and sellers, that I realized I could not see the surface of my desk.  I took a picture of the turmoil my desk had become, which back then involved using a camera, and swore to myself that I would never let it get this bad again. I'm not sure if it was the third week in April but I certainly organized my files, in my spare time, hah.  Fortunately for my organizational challenge and my sanity, our real estate company merged with another, larger company and I was offered one, not three, just one, position, either office manager or training manager, either with more pay than I was currently earning.  I opted for training manager and served happily in that position for almost 20 years.  Ironically, I became know for my organizational skills and helping new agents become organized. Ha ha ha...  Isn't life fun?  

By the way, next week is National Karaoke Week, so warm up those vocal cords.
