HappyUP!!! Day 76

HappyUP!!! - comment during interview
Why it happened - I interview people
Why it made me happy - the lending industry is going through some changing times. There are a lot of johnny-come-lately's who don't have a clue as to what the business is like when it gets rough. I was interviewing a gentleman who has been around awhile. He said, "there are a lot of loan officers who are out of business but don't know that they are out of business." Now, that may not seem funny to you but this isn't about what makes you happy. This one cracked me up!

HappyUP!!! - Natalie Gulbis on the leaderboard at the GINN
Why it happened - she had a couple of good rounds of golf
Why it made me happy - while not a huge Ladies Pro Golf Assoc (LPGA) fan, Natalie is from my city. She has been on the tour for a few years. She has done well but she hasn't won. She goes into the weekend with a chance to win. You have to root for the hometown girl!.....oh, yeah. One other thing.....she's hot!

HappyUP!!! - call from my boss telling me I nailed it
Why it happened - I grabbed a topic near and dear
Why it made me happy - I did a presentation on behalf of his entire region to the sales force on a call. It was exactly what he was looking for. He called me right after the call to tell me that so I know it wasn't a gratuitous stroke. It also makes me feel good that I am making a contribution.
