the continuing saga of Horrible Tenant
Mar. 12th, 2024 09:21 pmThis past weekend I finished several tax returns and made good progress on a handful of drop-offs.
Yesterday I showed New Hire how to process Collegetown parking leases, which was, shall we say, interesting in what it revealed about her lack of computer skills. (This seems to be a common theme among people currently between 15 and 25-ish.)
1. She didn't realize that a two page lease should be scanned as a single document (feed both pages into the scanner at once) and instead asked me if she needed to scan the second page at all and if so what to name it.
2. She didn't know how to type control-Z to undo an error when she accidentally deleted some text in an email.
3. Her method of highlighting a string of cells in MS Excel was to select one cell, highlight it, select another cell, highlight it, and so on instead of selecting a group and highlight them all at once.
This is honestly kind of worrying.
Anyway, I spent yesterday handling package deliveries and working on floor plans. Today I continued to work on floor plans -- I am nearly done with the fourth floor key plan of [building name redacted], after which I can get to work cleaning up the fifth floor key plan. That one should be slightly less work since the source image is less sketchy and warped than my source files for the second, third, and fourth floors. It's still pretty scuzzy, though, so I will need to spend time fixing assorted nonsense.
In other rental company news, Horrible Tenant was arrested over the weekend (we do not have any details) and is undergoing some kind of inpatient treatment. He left his key inserted in the lock of his apartment door where anyone could grab it, and on the advice of our lawyer we ( cut for a vague gesture at anonymity )
