some thoughts on leases and floor plans

edenfallingIn the event, I actually spent a good portion of my day writing leases instead of editing floor plans.
I was expecting a handful of people to decide about renewals over the weekend since I set the deadline for potential price increases at November 1 (basically, we will honor any quoted renewal rate until that date, after which I will begin to apply some of Company Owner's more drastic increases), but I thought the requests would come in tomorrow and Monday, not Friday night and Saturday morning.
Ah well, a lease is a lease.
And I did finish my edited key plan of the entire third floor of [building address redacted], so there's a nice printed copy waiting for whenever Company Owner returns from NYC to Ithaca. Also this one is almost clean enough to post on the website itself -- it just needs some minor line cleanup, plus edited text for room labels and dimensions. But I already weeded out the miscellaneous dashed lines and architectural notes, so the remainder of the project is a lot more manageable.
...Also once I have the key plan sorted out, I can essentially play cut-and-paste to make clean line-art floor plans of every apartment on the third floor (and most of the second floor to boot), instead of the shitty Flash-to-PDF-to-JPEG schematics that a previous employee made and a different employee saved off the now defunct Flash-based floorplanner website, because those are cluttered and weird and don't match the overall company floor plan aesthetic. (Which, to be fair, is an aesthetic that I have had a significant personal hand in creating over the past few years, but still. Just make a fucking diagram! There's no need to play dollhouse and host your work on non-company websites that eat your data when they die! *headdesk*)
