Assuming the Row

Send us Fan MailHello friends it’s me Leslie Mathis with the Multifamily Streamlined podcast. Y’all I was doing so good and haven’t missed a Tuesday in so long. Honestly since I recommitted to making the podcast a priority. Now I’m not saying i haven’t coming in sliding sideways late on a Tuesday evening but I made it. Pretty or not - it was posted. Ugh the week just got a little sideways and I have to be honest I was really struggling with what I was going to share this week especially up against the deadline. Often when that happens it’s like writers block. Well we were at the beach and there was plenty of creativity there. So you are getting two thoughts today for one. First one - I was drinking out of a yeti highball and thought I wonder if people think I am drinking booze early in the morning. I’m super boring and it was just Diet Dr. Pepper but it dawned on me that when I see people drinking out of a yeti honestly in most settings I assume there is alcohol in their cup especially around water. Tell me you make the same assumption at the beach or lake! :) For whatever reason I reflected on that assumption for a minute… honestly I don’t care about the alcohol and what people think I am drinking. I’m the girl that cracks a can on a conference call and couldn’t careless if they think I’m drinking a beer at 4:00 or 10:00 for that matter but anyways… you know that old saying about assuming it makes an ass out of you and me… What is the thing you are assuming at work? Are you assuming you are next in line for the big promotion?Are you assuming your maintenance tech is just late for work because he can’t get up in the morning?Are you assuming your assistant is handling all the reporting?
