I am currently working as an office administrater for a small property 
management company.
I mostly answer the phone, but also schedule viewings of vacant units, 
screen prospective tenants, trouble shoot maintinence issues, enter 
maintinence requests into the data system.  I also work with various 
advertizing websites to market our properties.
I have some other general daily duties as well.  I'm also more or less the 
company dispatcher sending out our maintinence personnel for emergencies and 
high priority issues.
I work from home or where ever at the moment because all my work is done on 
the radio, phone and computer.
I do work in the office during very busy times when I am getting a phone 
call every 2 minutes.
It's a decent job which suits my life style and schedule needs as per music 
related activities, family and generally other stuff that I want to be able 
to do without being tied to a desk.
My boss is also a ham and a friend which makes the job fun most of the time 
hi.
