WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:05.120 Oh yes, it's time for another fifty plus. I'm James Lott Junior. 2 00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:14.720 I have a client slash friend and organizing client slash friend who needs to move. 3 00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:22.399 She's been asked to leave her home of fifteen years that she was renting. 4 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:28.399 And because the owners want you to sell the house, they would rather 5 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:33.280 sell the house do the sale after she has moved out with her stuff. 6 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.359 They don't want to have people come through the house or her stuff there, 7 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:40.600 and they just want to make an easy beezy cover girl. Right. My 8 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:47.560 client is in her late seventies, and there's other things, and you know, 9 00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.280 there's are things going on. It's I'm like, obviously share with you 10 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.399 guys on here. And obviously I'm not gonna say her name or where she 11 00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.079 lives. I mean, I know no one. I mean, she don't 12 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:03.799 listen to this podcast or anything. So we're good good and and she and 13 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.079 she also knows I do talk about some of my clients. I work with 14 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.719 my clients is part of teaching. So it's gonna get that out of the 15 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:17.000 way. And this is not my this is not on my organizing show. 16 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.439 It's just me venting to you guys out here because you'll see you in a 17 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:29.920 second, Mary, So she needs to move and soue. But like I 18 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:36.079 think she's having a hard time or maybe she knows or maybe you know, 19 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.920 maybe she does get it and she's taking her sweet time. I mean, 20 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.280 something's going on. So I'm in urgency mode. I'm like, she gotta 21 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.280 get out, so let's start packing shit up, let's get it together, 22 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.719 let's like start organizing stuff. So i'one over there helping out. And the 23 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.640 other day we were, we were. She has this beautiful artwork, a 24 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.640 beautiful war all frames, so she wanted to do she went, I got 25 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.039 brought bubboll wrap over and tape, and she wanted to tape up the artwork 26 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:15.800 off the walls. So I didn't bring wide enough bobo wrap, so I 27 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:22.120 ended up being listen to to smaller pieces she has of all sizes. I 28 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.680 mean, beautiful artwork, beautiful work, a love of African American art that 29 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.280 I you know, I just love to pieces. So I went, yous 30 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:34.280 good. So I'm sitting there being professional as I am, and I'm taping 31 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.680 it up at the laugh and she's given me some side. I'm not gonna 32 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.840 take you to my missas, Like I go, what's going on. She's 33 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:49.319 just looking. I'm like, I was gone at her. Thing was she 34 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:54.879 felt I was using too much tape on the bubble wrap to tape up these 35 00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.439 nice paintings. And I was like, oh half I I said. It 36 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:07.319 was so ironic for me as a professional organizer. I have clients. You 37 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.039 think I don't use enough tape. They're like, nope, get back at 38 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:16.840 that box about whatever. I need the corners they wanted tape to then degree. 39 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.599 So this is the first time ever I would have been in sixteen years, 40 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.080 first time ever, I asked someone, go, you say, now, 41 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:29.599 I got plenty of tape. She got plenty of tape. I get 42 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:30.919 taped. I have tape out my ass Like, no, you don't you 43 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.240 want me my I said to her. I was like, and she's really 44 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.919 picking at me about it. I said, but I'm trying to make sure 45 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.719 your stuff is really nice. And and also, as she mentioned my well, 46 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.280 just gonna go sit over here for a while and go. You don't 47 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:53.240 get it in transport, movers drop stuff, things move, you have no 48 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.759 idea. I want to make sure it doesn't break. These are nice paintings 49 00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.039 and nice class and nice frames. I'm being and She's like at the end, 50 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.879 she was like, oh my god, it's so professional. Guy love 51 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:11.000 it. But I'm just like, girl, you're nitpicking on tape. Where 52 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.000 you gonna get the fuck out of there. We do going faster, like 53 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.879 we're going in a snails pace. It's we're super slow. And I'm like 54 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.600 and I'm like, girl, we need a movie because I know the whole 55 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.600 I know, like the full store. I know both sides of the store. 56 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.639 I don't know they like I know the owners. I know her. 57 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.439 It's like it needs it needs to be resolved, like yesterday. But I 58 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:35.480 started laughing, and that is something fifty plus and sixty plus and seventy plus. 59 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:40.480 It was people's peculiarities. We all have it. We all have stuff. 60 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.319 I mentioned later. I always re washed stuff. I don't care if 61 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.399 you washed it yourself and you give me plates or dishes or whatever or glasses, 62 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:55.000 how old you wash them. I think it's some nice courtesys you washed 63 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.639 them. I'm sorry she got married, like I just wasted my time. 64 00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.439 But I'm like, well, we didn't talk about it. I didn't. 65 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.040 I mean I didn't and ask you to wash them. It's like, I 66 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.800 just I know they were the dustiest sitting in the cabinet. But I'm like, 67 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.800 I just it's a it's before I do it. I always do my 68 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:14.079 own. Everybody washes differently. I saw the pandemic kids, people's houses. 69 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.680 You're like, that glass is dirty, that fork is still dirty. That's 70 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.560 not clean. I see people clean differently. So it's like, sorry, 71 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:25.319 just it's not about It's not about you, It's about me. That's my 72 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.800 eccentricity is that whenever I bring into my house, I rew wash it. 73 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.560 And so as I said, well, now from now on, from going 74 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.639 forward with give me, don't you don't have to wash it. I will 75 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.759 do it myself. But I was like, but we all have. But 76 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.879 that's the whole point. We get older, get a little set in our 77 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.399 ways. We all have our different things, right, That's kind of the 78 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.399 funny part of it. I start laughing. It's like, I don't go 79 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:55.879 crazy and get upset and start screaming and everything. But I'm just like, 80 00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.879 it's and I'm with her, with I love my clients, and with her, 81 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.560 my family and my mom. They all have their brother they have certain 82 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:10.439 ways they do everything, and I do too. And I think that can 83 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.199 happ when you're young too, but just as you get older, I especially 84 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:17.680 fifty plus. I'm telling you it could be kind of comical, but also 85 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:23.480 you're getting away. I'm James at Junior and it's fifty plus. Talk to 86 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:24.160 you next time.
