I think I'm beginning to feel the effects of post partum depression. A minor case, but still, it's not fun.

The real estate agent never called Allen back so Allen called him from work today. When Allen tried to talk to him about what happened however, the real estate agent just said "in real estate we deal through agents" (basically saying I'm not going to talk to you) and hung up on him. Allen is going to file a formal complaint with the National Real ( Read more... )
