A Tree Falling in the Forest

Selling our house is becoming an unsatisfying experience. Not because it hasn't sold yet, after all it has only been on the market for 5 days. It is unsatisfying because we don't receive any feedback from the many potential buyers that have toured our home.

You go through our house, you have unfettered access to our closets and belongings, you see all the work we have done to paint and renovate and you say... nothing. No compliments, no complaints, no suggestions, no feedback, no nothing.

One of the reasons I liked school was I got frequent feedback. I turn in a paper, it's graded, commented on, and returned. I have the satisfaction of an A or suggestions for how to get an A next time. Like Lisa Simpson when the teachers of Springfield Elementary go on strike, I feel like yelling out our front door, "Look at me! Grade me! Evaluate and rank me! I'm good, good, good and oh so smart! Grade me!" Ugh.
