Stressed? Not me!

I am glad I gave up today... not. They say that moving is one of the most stressful events that can occur in your life. At this very moment in time, I would totally agree. I don't think it would be so though, if it wasn't for one particular group of people, the solicitors. I have never found it so difficult to extract a simple answer from one person in my entire life. I wasn't asking for the answer to Life, the Universe and everything, (so obviously 42). I wasn't even asking for his wife's recipe for cheesecake, I just bloody wanted to know when the sale of my house was going to be completed.

Ums and ahs later, He said he would get back to me. I have heard that phrase before, the classic "I haven't got clue" stock response, which usually means that the person responsible for the phrase, won't. Time for giving him a SMART objective.

• Specific
  
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Realistic
• Timed

Do they learn to be so obtuse at university or is this a genetic characteristic that has been developed by some freakish scientist in a laboratory underground in Lucerne? Or have I just been unlucky in all my choices of solicitor? It took a bit of time for him to understand what I wanted him to do, and I have this vague feeling that he was a bit flummoxed, at actually being told what to do, which doesn't bother me. I am enjoying this new confident me.

Still off those cigarettes!
