And now, I found out another long time friend was shot and killed last night. My work computer is still fucking off, and IT is blaming my ISP, ISP says nothing's amiss.
I am tired of construction waking me up hours before I have to get up for work, and the constant noise and smells are making me physically feel ill.
Can this week just fuck right off?
@derp Yeah. Guess who also has issues with having his paw handled? (They got hurt bad when he was a pup, before I ever got him)
And guess who got nipped at, while scrubbing said paint paws?
So they're doing some shoddy 'renovation' work on my apartment building. The work crews all know I have a dog. They know he's overly curious about everything going on in the hallway with all the sounds, smells and voices.
Some asshole thought it was a good idea to put the PAINT Pan right in front of our door, and then knock so we could open it for him to paint.
Guess who got paint paws.
@greenflashlight It was cancer. It was deemed terminal long ago, but he'd kept one step ahead for so long.. no one really saw the end coming. Just last week we were talking about food cravings.
ETA: Not related to friend's passing, but construction is super loud, driving the dog nuts, and then my IT ticket didn't actually GET into the system. I teams messaged an IT guy, no response. An hour after I tell my supervisor, she puts a ticket in from her end. I'm about to blow my stack.
@derp they sent the head construction guy... which I let in to do it, because he's just doing his job, and he's actually really nice to the dog. But they could have said "Hey, during construction, we may need to come into the apartment" Last week when it was starting, and covered their asses.
This management company has been total shite, though. And their text response to me telling them we prefer 24 hours notice, had a glaring typo in it (Shit instead of shut, which I have done in RP, but never in a work correspondence!)
fuck today. Just fuck it. My friend died last night, there's construction in my building, and my work computer doesn't want to work, and the management company for the building thinks they are going to just walk in and turn off the water in our apartment.. for no given reason.
@greenflashlight ..devilled egg pasta salad recipe? Tell me more.
@derp Alas, we didn't have the camera at an angle to show her swiping things. She hid INSIDE the hallway while she did everything else, and we don't have a camera on the front door (working on it). I spoke to my brother (a cop) and he told me there wouldn't be anything the cop could really do.
@alamias Yeah. We have a few stories with this bitch.
It's not packages they're stealing. They stole and destroyed Logan's dog bed (the psycho neighbor took that and the blanket I loaned her husband when they were fighting, so he could sleep on their couch outside their apartment. She took the dog bed, took out the foam, cut it out, jumbled it up with the blanket, and URINATED on it, and wiped some of her menses on it and left it outside our door. (The husband came and told us, apologized, and he bagged it up and took it to the dumpster).
They took a box fan off the patio table that was out there because I was cleaning it and got a work call, so I left it there. They stole a broom we used to sweep off the patio.. shit like this.
@derp We have a camera already, but one of the dogs doing it is a chihuahua. Which clearly does not take the same size shit as a pit bull, but.. clearly they don't get it.
@tributary Lol they'd want me to prove it wasn't my dog's. they are not bright people.
@tributary I'd have to actually CATCH them. I don't work a normal schedule. I don't roll out of bed before 10:30 or 11am during the week. By then, most of them have let their dogs out and back in and gone to work.
@pyrephox We do all communication via text or email. Because I want records. I've straight up told them people steal things. No response. The neighbor has a camera pointed at our front DOOR (whom has been one of the people stealing and vandalizing our things, because I was polite to her husband. No, I wish I was kidding) , I asked them to request the tenant point it at their own door. No response. I pointed out there are several dogs off leash around here not being cleaned up after.
They responded to that... by asking me to take pictures of it. Like.. bitch, I'm working all day. I don't have time to play Peter Parker. (that was not how I said it, tbh, but how I wanted to!_)
@ganymede Nope. Same lease (and we did re-sign with the small rent increase) because they switched us from 6 mo lease to month to month.
they've also already tried to 'offer us' the chance to move into one of the 'upgraded units'. AKA they made some cosmetic changes to the units. They want a LOT more money, for nothing worth that kind of upcharge. We politely declined.
ETA: Why do I think they chose to drop this, without warning, on the 1st, and say "Well you paid rent, that was you agreeing?" (We pay auto, but..)
Basically, a new management company bought our complex a few months ago. They've been kinda jerks about some stuff. They raised the rent without any actual warning or anything signed by us, but we let it go.
We've had issues with people stealing things off our patio, throwing their trash in front of our patio, leaving their dogs off leash to go to the bathroom near our unit.
Now they're threatening fines if dogs aren't cleaned up after, if there's littering, etc. But we didn't sign these changes into our lease, and like hell I know how we prove this shit (in some cases literally) isn't ours.
Have I entered a state of delusion, or can a landlord suddenly change rules/terms/fines for xyz on a lease without advance notice or it being.. oh, signed?
@zombiegenesis Oh, when I can get my hands on them, yes. Good. just hard to get here.
I grew up on Pepsi, but now I'm all about the Dr Pepper. The diet kind. I know they're switching to zero sugar, but it's still super scarce here, so I stock up on the diet.
I miss the good flavors, though. The cherry vanilla Dr pepper, or cherry vanilla coke.. black cherry IBC.
The original "Hot Lips" Houlihan. I remember her best as Dr. Diane Turner, from Rodney Dangerfield's "Back to School"
