Worked at home today, as I usually do on Wednesdays. The water was shut off for a few hours in the middle of the day again, but at least this time they warned us in writing ahead of time. 'Long about the middle of the afternoon, I heard voices outside my door, and then I heard a key in the lock; I went out to the living room (luckily, I was already wearing my bathrobe) as the door opened. Apartment manager guy stood there with someone else I'd never seen before.<\/p>\n
\"Hi,\" I said.<\/p>\n
\"Oh, hi,\" he said.<\/p>\n
The other guy said, \"I told you we should knock first.\"<\/p>\n
I said, \"Yeah, you should knock first.\"<\/p>\n
\"Sorry,\" said apartment-manager guy. He didn't look particularly sorry. \"We're here to turn the gas on.\"<\/p>\n
And they did. Never mind that they'd left a note saying they were going to do that two weeks ago, but anyway, the gas is now on, so that's good.<\/p>\n
While he was waiting for the other guy to turn the gas on, apartment-manager guy nonchalantly asked me how things were going with loud car guy, clearly expecting me to sheepishly admit that the problem was solved and it wasn't such a big deal after all. I noted that things were slightly better but not much, and that I'd just decided to stop fighting about it. He didn't seem sure what to make of that.<\/p>\n
I figure I'll probably give notice sometime in the next week.<\/p>\n
In other news, repairs have started on my house. So far, they involve tearing a bunch of stuff out, and not so much replacing it with new stuff. Let's hope stage two begins soon.<\/p>\n
I gotta run out momentarily to buy some vinyl for the kitchen floor—only reason I'm still here is that I figured I needed to eat before I left, so I'm eating as I type.<\/p>\n
