Yikes

The last time this realtor came to our house we had like, 5 minutes notice. It was the day of our open house which had ended at 2:30 and at 3:00 he made an appointment for 3:00. We were in our driveway taking groceries out of my trunk, and he pulled up with a whole family, apologizing for the short notice. I guess he had called our realtor who said it was OK to come by, given it wasn't too long after the open house (and he knew we were trying to be really flexible).

The guy showed up an hour before the appointment today! He said "oh sorry, I'm a little early". Its a good thing I wasn't in the shower or anything :) I feel bad, because I was planning on being out when he got here - I know that I feel really awkward looking at houses when their owners are there. Ah well! I sat on the front porch and read my mail while they poked around inside. Its so nice outside.

The people across the street have been raking leaves all day and it reminds me that we need to do that here - another "after school is done for the semester" item :)

data rambling:
On that note, now that I'm analyzing the results of my 2004 data its looking like it may be too young for me to use it . . . the number of days per admission are really high (I'm wondering if the units measure is overstated, because its counting not only inpatient days but also any procedures, tests, etc that happened). If these claims are in-process still it could be that the claims department hasn't made the additional lines "informational" (i.e. those services aren't paid for separately - they roll into the per-day or per-case payment rate . . . thus the information that they happened is on the claim but those informational lines have 0 cost and 0 units typically).
