some work stuff, some book stuff
Things about today:
1. Two apartment tours. I have a good feeling about the first prospect; I think they will apply within a day or three. I think the second prospect is still in the shopping around stage, but they did seem positive about the apartment and building, so.
I have another tour scheduled for tomorrow, but my read on that prospect (from our brief phone call) is that they are also still in the shopping around stage. Still, it's good to keep my hand in at the apartment showing part of my job. *wry*
2. Apparently New York's emergency rent assistance program has run out of funds (they had a bit over 2 billion earmarked, a bit over 1 billion has been disbursed, and the rest is now all assigned though still in process) and may shut down unless the federal government kicks in some money. So who even knows what's going on there.
3. I was THIS CLOSE to finishing the key plan for the 3rd floor of [redacted] building when MS Paint glitched and turned all my black lines white and then froze and wouldn't let me undo the glitch. So I had to start over from the file I saved from midway through the cleanup process -- and let me tell you, I am so glad I saved that as a separate file. I was able to copypaste a few things to save me trying to reconstruct them wholesale, but wow that was annoying.
I think I will be able to finish tomorrow morning before I head up to the Collegetown office.
4. I did another wellness check on our incommunicado elderly tenant, and once again found no sign of them in their apartment. Ms. Random Numbers was able to contact the tenant's adult child, who said they are fine, but we still have no information about where they are. This continues to be worrying.
5. My library hold of Across the Green Grass Fields has come in, but the library closes at 6pm on Friday so I had no chance to pick it up. I think I may do that tomorrow after I finish the apartment showing, since I'll be in the area anyway.
6. Did you know that witch cozies are an actual genre? As in, cozy mysteries where the protagonist/detective is also a witch or some equivalent thereof? Well, my brother and a cowriter have a witch cozy series that I have been enjoying very much though mysteries are not my usual cup of tea. I am about 2/3 through their latest book and am very proud of myself for spotting A Clue. I do not, however, have any idea what the clue in question means, and am looking forward to finding out later tonight. :)
Oh, and I need to ask Nick if he's okay with me promoting the series by name. *makes note*
(FYI, I read Nick's mysteries instead of his romances/erotica because I feel weird reading my little brother's smut scenes except for editing purposes. I think we are both happier this way. *wry*)
