This will not be a nostalgic account of the many things I love about my job. Leasing is not for the weak. You are essentially a turd polisher. Glossing up and decorating something that you know very well is in fact; still a turd. Yet it is our duty--day after day, to convince the general public that I have the best poop on the block. The longer you are in this industry, the funnier your stories get. You are in the middle of people's lives, you know who they are screwing, how often they take out their trash, who pays their bills on time. It's a helluva position to be in, but it's gotta be one of the funniest jobs I've ever had. Here is a running account of the day in the life of a leasing agent.-J&B
