Looking for Help . . .

I am faced with a significant struggle/challenge this week . . . I am in West Texas trying to hire and train a new apartment manager.  This is no easy feat.

 The requirements for the position are:

 . . . must be almost an accountant and pretty much able to prepare a federal tax return;

 . . . must have great people skills;

 . . . must have a strong work ethic;

 . . . possess true integrity, honesty, and solid character;  

 . . . personal strength to withstand criticism . . . and gossip . . . as you enforce the lease;

 . . . the patience to deal with government bureaucrats who know very little about the rental assistance program . . . but always insist on . . . “Being in charge”; and

 . . . must be pretty darn smart . . . and recognize dishonesty . . . because some will insist on being dishonest about their circumstances . . . thinking they can get a better deal.

 After satisfying those requirements, then one must be willing to work for low wages in a booming oil-field economy . . . All the while knowing that you will surely get 2:00 a.m. telephone calls in which the caller will say, “My water heater is leaking and has flooded my apartment” or “My neighbor’s dog is barking.”

Anyone want a job?
