ah, yeah, remember that rough day i mentioned?... yeah, (yeah, yeah again), well, yesterday was a long work day and while that was rough it was the kind of rough that i love, helping others... and then came today...
the work was not completed yesterday as promised, again, and instead of taking today off i woke and went to work because the painters were due to come in and finish... the work they did yesterday was very poor quality and obviously they needed another day to fix it... or cover it up... and today started out rough, waking laste, then as i am groggy and catching up on mail and texting jackson about the unfinished apartment, in walks one of my nurses to hand me a letter of resignation... she vented for over an hour about all sorts of things and told me more of the story of her life before i told he i had to get ready for the managers meeting... the managers meeting was good, but lasted an hour and a half... i headed out after that, but drove around for hours because i did not want to go home and find painters...
finally getting home i find happiness pooped in the living room and tracked it all over the place... or was that the painters leaving a response to my complaints... another coincidence like the power off and nail in the board waiting in the bedroom?... so i started cleaning it and ran out of carpet cleaner... so i drove out to get carpet cleaner and the store had none... frustration continued to build and i bought chips and onion dip and nestle's crunch for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the car and then, the phone rang and it was a parent with a concern... the plan to visit curly today was slipping away and even though i was not sure about the outcome with the parent, i cancelled the visit and it felt like a lie... the parent did end up taking my evening so i couldn't meet curly anyway and the day simply sucked all around, mostly cuz i was back home and exhausted...
as for home and the construction, this is how i just summed it up in a comment to a friend who asked...
i should just publish the on-going saga of emails... as of yesterday, the apartment manager finally did enough of an inspection to have to admit that there was actually real water damage just as i had been saying all along... she changed the construction schedule and said the apartment would be finished today... and today, the apartment was finished, except for my bedroom...
they might claim to have finished the bedroom, but they did not and the apartment manager may be quite upset with the workers as they either lied to her or she lied to us... i am betting on them lying... they seem to do shoddy work and never get jobs done in the time frames promised...
so i continue living in the living room on the way too soft back breaking couch and i continue to be grumpy and distracted and not wanting to write much (cuz even i get tired of grumpy distracted complaining)...
i told them i would be deducting $200 from the rent this month and if they could not accept that they could start the eviction process and we will end up in court... the apartment manager forwarded my last email to her regional director and she hopes for a response monday... rent will be late after monday, so we shall see if they agree or if i contact bring in a lawyer i know who handles construction claims...
drama is so boring...
and so what's new in your world? :)
