Question
Hi Matt,

I am a writer and one of the characters in my newest opus is a workaholic Realtor who is involved in all sorts of committees and volunteer work along with his regular house buying and selling business.  He works in an upper middle class environment. He is always on the run doing a hundred things.  I need some phrases of what he might tell his wife as he leaves in the morning, or comes back at night, such as: "I'm doing a closing this afternoon ... "

Could you possibly give me a few sentences of typical things he might say?

Leaving in the morning:

"I'll be going ....
"This afternoon I ...
"Don't wait dinner, I . . .
"I'll . . . .
"I'm meeting with ..
"I have a . . . .  meeting this evening."
"I really have to . . .


Coming home:

"What a disaster today. . .
"The meeting with . . . .  went well"
"You should have seen . . . .
"These buyers were . . .
"That house was . . .
"The sellers . . .
"My God, that lawyer . . .

Anything that can be said naturally by a busy Realtor, interesting and fun stuff is good too!  Maybe listen to yourself . . . . ?

I really would appreciate your help!
