"What I want to say is this: - If you logically try to persuade a person that there is no absolute reason for shedding tears, the person in question will cease weeping. That's self evident. Why, I should like to know, should such a person continue doing so?"

"If such were the usual course of things, life would be a very easy matter," replied Raskolnikoff.

Welcome to the Vancouver real estate market

Just called on two one bedroom apartments and both have already been sold. Update your MLS listings people! This is going to sting. Is it wrong to pray for interest rate hikes and foreclosures?
And I just got off the phone with a guy from the IRS (regarding our New York office). Yeah, one of the nicest people I've spoken to in some time. Seriously. The Internal Revenue Agency. Who knew? He even said if I had trouble filling out the form to call him and he'd help me. Wow. Maybe they're working on managing their customers' experiences. Should get the sales team to pitch them our software...
