I am proud to say that my office is very liberal when it comes to what is appropriate work attire vs. your typical office dress code. This could be that we are allowed to wear what we wear because of the demographics we are dealing with on a daily basis, or just that we are a trendy group of individuals and trying to keep us from wearing certain clothes would mandate a uniform, which everyone in our office is loathe to begin. My question is, when does trendy end and ugly begin? As an office and not a fashion magazine, when can the office manager step in and decide who gets to wear what and what is considered appropriate for work, without drawing some sort of skewed boundaries? This hasn’t occurred yet in the office, thank goodness, because I feel that otherwise there would be a problem with whatever conclusion was reached. But until then, we will continue to edge out the apartment industry with the coolest dressed leasing agents known to mankind. Cheers.

Previously, I’d written that all of my friends/coworkers had all been working in our office for a little over a year now, and I was sincerely dreading the day when any type of changes would have to occur. It’s happening. As Worker Bee’s C. and W. are both going to leave soon, to move on with their lives (lucky), we are going to be looking for other leasing agents to take their places. Oh, what big shoes they have to fill. Not only do they have to have great customer service skills, be able to sell an apartment to a cynical parent, highlight the greats, downsize the faults, multitask, explain a legal document, and many other tasks not listed in a job description, they have to be a friend, be a source of support, be a reason we want to come to the office everyday.
We exemplify every aspect of a family. The fights, the good, the bad, the fun times, the memories, everything. We are a family when family is far away. We are now looking for someone who can be all of these things and more. Do you meet the requirements?
