wherein Liz has a very full weekend
Jul. 29th, 2022 08:39 pmI loathe doing apartment staging/photos/videos in the height of summer, and yet, all our leases are based around the academic year so this is when the apartments are vacant. :(
Tomorrow will be an interesting day. I have three move-ins/key pickups scheduled between noon and 12:45pm, after which I will disappear for about three hours to attend a wine and cheese garden party held by some church people. Then I will reappear at the office for two hours, after which I hit the road and drive south to NJ, throw some clothes in my parents' washer, and fall into bed.
Sunday I'll spend a few hours doing... I dunno, maybe some cleaning? maybe packing some miscellaneous items? and then hit the road around 3pm (with my nice clean laundry) and drive back north to Ithaca, along with some additional things my parents want to get rid of. I may buy groceries once I'm back.
And then work as usual on Monday.
...
Also I may stage/photo/video an apartment in the morning before the key pickups. It depends on whether Maintenance has replaced the bed yet. I guess I'll find out when I head down to the Commons to do a security deposit inspection on yet another apartment.
...
Fuck summer anyway.

In completely unrelated news, today I finished listening to a Great Courses series about cheese, which was okay. Not as good as the series about whiskey, and definitely not as good as the series about rum (that one has some really neat stuff to say about racism, industrial capitalism, and colonialism!), but okay. It would have been greatly improved by at least one lecture that discussed dairy products made by people who live anywhere other than Europe and the US, but there was only a brief aside about the genetic basis of lactose intolerance as a nod to the fact that people raise cows, goats, and sheep all over the goddamn world, blargh. Still, it was informative about the topics the lecturer actually covered.
