- On Monday my smoke detector went off for 10 hours. Every minute for 10 hours. That’s super annoying. I called it in FOUR times and every time was told that they couldn’t tell me when it was going to be fixed. On the third time I was told that maybe I should stand outside (in the rain) so I couldn’t hear it. That’s not OK. The 4th time they said no one was going to come and fix it that night. At that point I ripped it out of the ceiling. now. There is a hole and wires dangling down. But there’s also no squawking noise. So I’m OK with that. This, on top of how long it took for them to fix my bathroom floor mold problem, and the fact that no one has ever come to fix my doorhandle (that broke off over the holidays), is making me reconsider where I want to live next year. I have to move this summer. And before I was hoping to move based on location of the apartment. Now I think I’ll move to an apartment that has the least amount of existing maintenance problems…and the best track record for not getting flooded in the rain, and being built OK.
- It is raining. Still. I’m sort of over the rain, and I’m fairly sure that today I will have to walk home in the pouring rain.
- It’s been a meeting bonanza this quarter. It’s admission time, and we run three programs, and a lot of people who are qualified apply. Also, a lot of people who are questionable qualified, but who think it would be nice to live in LA apply. Needless to say there are a lot of files to read and a lot of long meetings to go to for decision making purposes.
- I lost my bruin card this morning. I dropped it after I left my apartment, and made it around the corner. By the time I got back it was gone. So I had to buy a new one for $23. At first I was irked that it cost that much, and such a random amount. Then…I decided that $23 for all the free stuff the card gives me access to was probably worth it.
- I started watching Inglorious Bastards this morning and I thought I wouldn’t like it. But I did. And then I had to leave to come to work. So I don’t know how it ended.
- Mooshu eats the snails that come out when it rains. And then they don’t agree with him and he throws up. Most of the time I can get the snails out. But that’s gross. And sometimes I can’t get them out. And that’s also gross. It’s a lose-lose situation.
- I wish it were summer.
