lease renewal

we renewed our lease today, though we still have to sign as the signing was interrupted by a car that drove off the road and through a gate and into a ditch on our property and the manager had to cut the signing short to go out and stand in the rain and talk to the police, but hopefully jackson will walk me through the lease signing tomorrow or soon because i tend to avoid that sort of paperwork as much as i can... still, we were satisfied with the offer (that was $70 less than the initial request and $120 less than the posted rents online and well below market rates so she compromised more than jackson thought she would and enough for me to say ok... no increase from last year... improvements promised... and one big issue (algae/mold on the sidewalk) taken care of as the maintenance supervisor was out scrubbing and power washing the walkway early this morning... not perfect, not a luxury job, but a lot of labor and sweat and effort went into it and that showed me that they are willing to go many extra yards to keep us satisfied...

so i updated my review on the website apartment ratings from two stars to four stars and my single recommendation raised their overall recommendation percentage by 7%... i suppose not too many people use their site... i wish more would...

life is a compromise and we are happy with the compromise we made today...

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
