I don't think it is easy to truly, "get away from it all," because like they say, "Wherever you go, there you are." Don't ask me to tell you who They are, but trust me, They said it.
As many of you already know, I'm in the mortgage industry. There are days, like today, where I truly want to "get away from it all." It is so frustrating to be working so hard with a customer, only to have them yanked away by another mortgage company. In almost every case, they claim they are getting a better deal somewhere else. Hello people! This is called a bait-and-switch! I am already giving you the best deal. I'll be lucky to earn a mere $1000 on your loan....that guy is going to make $6000, and he has the same products I do. He'll continue to bait you along, making you believe you're getting the deal he promised, then you'll get to closing and he is going to sell you a new loan. You'll take it, because..."DARN! I've lost 4 weeks of my life waiting for this loan, I may as well sign...then hate the mortgage company/loan officer, then complain to my neighbors about how crooked mortgage companies are."
Speaking of bait-and-switch.....that makes me think of fishing. To me, killing fish is not as cruel as the fact that we tease them first. We dangle worms and things they like, so they think they're getting a snack, when in reality what they're getting is death. It's not honest.
We advertise worms, then go, "you know what? We're all out of worms. How would you like a big hook in your mouth instead?" The ULTIMATE bait-and-switch.
Fish are so dumb! They simply do not catch on. How many years have we been fishing? Haven't fish figured it out? All it would take is one fish to see the worm and say, "wait a second....worms don't just dangle like that.....something's going on here......HEY!"
But they don't figure it out. They line up. They see their friends getting yanked out of the water and they don't care. They're cocky! "Don't worry, Honey, that won't happen to me. He didn't know what he was doing, whereas........OOOWWWWEEEEE! This one has a hook too!"
Fish don't see the whole pattern. Worm = Death, Worm = Death. I think I would catch on. If I went to a restaurant and every time I ordered a salad, somebody dropped an anvil on my head, I would begin to notice. "Hmmmm....Salad = Death, Salad = Death. You know what? I'm gonna get the soup instead."
Fish---they're in schools, but they're just not learning.
