a full day
Jul. 22nd, 2022 08:57 pmThings done today:
1. Showed Mr. Geniality how to operate the freight elevator in one of our apartment buildings. Now I can push some of those requests onto him! \o/
2. Staged, photographed, and videoed a 1-bedroom apartment. This was more annoying than usual because the passenger elevator in that building is currently out of order (cause unknown, might be heat-related), so I had to haul everything up and down two flights of stairs in the draining heat. UGH.
3. Worked 2-5pm in Collegetown, since Mom Boss is off this whole week and Aunt Boss was off today. There wasn't much work, but this way New Hire... uh... I think 7?
Let me count that out: New Hire 1 (had scheduling conflicts and was let go), Ms. Goldberry, New Hire 3 (no-showed too many times and was let go), Ms. California, Summer Temp Guy (did a lot of data entry, bless him), New Hire 6 (couldn't cope with the pace of work during busy weeks and quit), and New Hire 7, yes. I should give him a name since he seems to be working out. Hmm. I think... Mr. Artistic. He does some amazing ballpoint pen sketches during slow hours!
Anyway, me being in the office meant that Mr. Artistic could have an actual lunch break, which was helpful.
4. Photo editing, blargh.
5. Made some progress in my ongoing efforts to rationalize some of the downtown apartment keys. I really need to sit down and inventory them properly one of these days, so we can get duplicates and replacements made before we run into problems.
6. Did a final inspection on an apartment I'd like to stage tomorrow, and broke part of a tenant's speaker system in the process, whoops. I would like to stress that it was a complete accident -- the tenant had their speaker set up next to the door of the apartment I was entering, and I tripped on the cord, which snapped -- but I still feel shitty about it. :(
7. Scheduled two freight elevator reservations for tomorrow, which, well, there goes a significant portion of my day. *hands*
...
The heat broke slightly in the evening when a thunderstorm blew through town, but it's still humid and gross and I intend to run my AC all night.
I do finally feel up to making a gesture in the direction of dinner, but I think I'm just going to eat some cheese and crackers and then fall into bed.
