Have you ever had to share a dryer with people that were not related? Well, this is a first for me and I have hated every single minute of it!! I cannot wait until I graduate, buy a house, and get married. That way, if someone leaves a piece of fucking gum in the dryer, I can yell at them and make them clean it!

Obviously I was not happy to find that someone dried a piece of gum in the dryer. I’m sure it got all over their clothes, but I wasn’t about to share that lovely experience so I ended up cleaning it all out. Fun! Who does that? Like you couldn’t smell or see that shit when you took your clothes out the dryer. Hey, I’ll just leave that in there so everyone has fresh smelling clothes. Sorry, I don’t want my clothes smelling like Winterfresh and having burnt, sticky shit all over them. Call me crazy if you want, but I’m a believer in cleaning up after yourself when you’re sharing a space of any sort.

I have not been posting daily and then..BLAM 100 posts in one night. Okay, so that was an exaggeration. I had an appointment with some man to come and look at the apartment this evening and guess what, he is late. Guessing he won’t show up. UGH! Glad I waste my time for these fools. I should have guessed by the conversation we had last night

Me: This is Tracy, you called about the apartment in J-town.

Man: On Scuba Lane?

Me: No, on Diver Blvd.

(Long pause)

Man: Oh the ones for $610?

Me: Yup.

(Long pause)

Man: Do you still have one available?

Me: Yes, one lower.

(Long pause)

Man: When is that available?

Okay, sick of writing, but the gist of it was that the man was mentally challenged. I had to tell him what time worked for him because he was just sitting on the phone with me silent. Actually, I was calling you to tell you that you have wasted your time, the ad was fake,  and there really isn’t an apartment for rent. And I offered up a showing on an apartment that is not available. I enjoy messing with people and wasting my time. You know, because I have nothing better to do.

Some people!

And even colder when you don’t have heat!! UGH!! Last night the boiler in the building decided it didn’t want to work. I started making calls when it miraculously started working again. That was pretty short lives as I woke up with icicles on my nose I called right away this morning and the guy said he would be here ‘pretty quick’ but that was about an hour and a half ago. It seems as thought the heat is starting to work right now, but that won’t last. Man, why does this stuff happen on the coldest days thus far AND on Christmas Eve?

Hope everyone else is staying warm in their houses!!

Update:

The man from the heating place did come shortly after I finished  typing. I have to say, it is kind of disturbing to watch them ‘work’ because it seems like he didn’t really know what was wrong. Anyway. He is, however, coming back to put a pressure switch on the boiler for us so we should have heat by midday! OH and the apartment lady told me to get our energy company out here. Whoops! I had to act quickly because we have no heat and they charged $200 for the first hour for labor only! I sure hope the local guy isn’t going to charge us that much. I guess I didn’t ask because it doesn’t really matter at this point. I don’t want to freeze to death and I have to make sure everyone else has heat too!

But I could totally use a man’s help right now. I am struggling to put this stupid shelf thing together for the apartment’s maintenance room. This thing is a POS!! UGH!! None of the metal brackets line up and you cannot ‘tap’ them into place lightly. Then, good luck getting the shelves in those POS, not lined up messes!!

Another thing, the unit says it can support 2500lbs. I am not real confident seeing how my 125lb. ass broke a shelf when I stood on it. Now, there are 5 shelves, and when you divide 2500 by 5, each shelf should hold approximately 500lbs. Uhh? Yeah. I bet this bitch will collapse when I put it all the way together and put all the shit on it. If one shelf cannot even support a quarter of what it should, I am in serious trouble!!

I will get er’ done though because that’s just who I am!! I am woman, hear me roar!!

Update:  I got it all together, of course, and nothing has collapsed….yet!

As I was getting ready to mow the lawn today, the lady who complains about EVERYTHING, tells me the dryer vent is disconnected again. UGH!!

I go to fix the vent and the laundry room is TRASHED!! Someone took the garbage out and never replaced the bag or told me they needed a new one. Oh and they continued to throw trash in there. Of course it was their fault the trash was nasty because they throw food and other stuff in it. It is not a laundromat, it is a laundry room. I don’t see why they cannot throw their trash away in their apartment, but they cannot.

Anyway. I just cleaned the rooms last Friday and there was dirt EVERYWHERE! I just don’t understand how people can be so messy and then not clean up after themselves. Cripes, there are paper towels for them to use!

As you all know, I manage the apartment building I live in. I have been away since Friday morning and what do I come home to? An old raggedy ass chair sitting in front of the dumpster!! What in the hell do people think this is? A ghetto wasteland? WTF? I do not think the garbage people will pick it up and so it will sit there until I hunt down the stupid hillbilly who put it there! Great!! I guess it isn’t any different than the bike, entertainment center, or TV that sat in front of the dumpster on previous occasions.

Man alive! I do NOT get paid enough to take care of 7 helpless, stupid adults!! Why can’t we all just get along? Maybe take a little pride in our surroundings? I think these adults were the kids who left their Hot Wheels in the street and then cried when they got run over. Poor bastards.

Update: Sanford and Son put his chair in the dumpster

I have a few jobs, PT at the bank, FT student, and the best one, I’m the manager of my apartment building. I know, sounds like loads of fun, right? I just had one of the ‘older’ tenants call to tell me that the dryer hose downstairs is not connected to the vent leading outside. Then she says, “Well, I’m using it right now, but it isn’t connected to the thing.” Uhh? Do you think you should be using it then or maybe you should have called BEFORE running the damn thing? She proceeds to tell me, “It’s making a funny noise?” Hmm? Do you think maybe because all of the phucking hot air is blowing straight into the laundry room? Gosh, here is a thought, HOOK THE DAMN HOSE BACK UP TO THE WALL YOURSELF!! I mean, how hard is it really? Mind you, this is the same lady that calls me about every two weeks to tell me her outside light is burnt out. For cryin’ out loud, lady! You do not have to be a handy man/woman to figure this shit out!
