edenfallingSlow day, this. It comes with the not-having-of-class, I think. :-) God I love Thursdays.
Yesterday I called maintenance with a list of everything wrong about my house, to wit:
1) The lights in the atrium and on the second floor landing were burnt out. (We're strictly forbidden to change our own lights, you know -- stupid rule, if you ask me!)
2) The spin cycle on the washing machine is not working. When you run a load, it gets clean but ends up absolutely sopping wet and needs to be wrung out by hand before you put it in the dryer. This Is Not Good.
2) The lid to our left mailbox -- which is, of course, the one we actually use -- fell off, leaving it open to the rain.
4) The doorknob to the ground floor bathroom fell out of the door. Literally.
5) The door to the second floor half-bath sticks so badly you have to practically slam it hard enough to shake the house if you want it to actually close. And even if you manage to shut it, the lock doesn't work.
So far, they've fixed the landing light and replaced both our mailboxes -- even the one that wasn't broken. The new ones are black and intimidating and have actual locks. With actual keys. Which we are NOT going to use, because I am 100% convinced -- convinced, I tell you -- that they will get lost.
Because keys do that. Nasty little buggers, they are.
