She Wishes She Were A Dancer

Today I am overwhelmed. I am being analyzed. My boss just called me and told me that the property numbers are being looked at since we have so many vacant units. I don't get it. I mean, I understand that we do have a lot of vacant units (35/175). I get it. Corporate set us a potential "goal" of renting twelve units per month. Well, as a matter of fact, we didn't have said "goal" last month. We had twelve move ins last month. As of December 3, 2009 (today) we have had three move ins and have taken applications for three apartments, we are ahead of where we were last month, and December is the toughest month on apartment communities as far as move ins go. I am advertising more than anyone in the company. And not that it matters to anyone else, but I am a fraction of every other manager's age. Where they are saying that most managers are close-minded to new advertising and suggestions, I am the one making those suggestions. There was even a gentleman in the office earlier this morning that made a comment about how much we "popped" up on the internet when he was doing research. I am working as hard as I can with a limited budget, I get advertising ideas shot down all of the time. Not enough.
