missdianeI try not to make too much of an issue but the maintenance guy that we've had for years is nice but mostly useless. Three years ago I asked to have my kitchen faucet replaced because the screw went missing and it wouldn't stay on. He got a screw but he knew it wouldn't hold since it's a cheap faucet and the parts are worn out. But he gave me the story about how the management wouldn't replace anything. So for THREE years, I've had to repeatedly tape the faucet on which usually lasts about a month. I tried duct tape, stretchy electrical tape, silicone tape. Nothing holds for long. On top of that, the sprayer sometimes sticks in the on position.
This is the same maintenance guy that pretty much ignored the request that I put in to management to replace the battery in the hallway smoke detector and I had to end up getting Emily's sister who is taller to stand on my stepladder to replace it.
Recently, I was seeing lots of big fat bees around my kitchen door when I'd come up the wooden stairs and I also saw sawdust near the door. I reported this to management but didn't have much hope. But they responded quickly and said they'd have the person call me and it was a different name. It was a different person and by the next day, they attached this trap to the deck next to my door
It's reduced the amount of bees, though I am starting to see more again recently and also more sawdust. If it gets too much, I'll report that again.
I decided to take a chance and emailed to request my faucet to be replaced which they responded within hours to put in a ticket. I got a call and there seems to be TWO new guys. One of them came by to take a look at the faucet of which there was a "Oh yeah, that's shot" kind of reaction and they're going to get a new one and they're supposed to come after 11 today to replace it. Thank goodness since this latest round of taping is about to fail again at any moment.
On the way to work, I got a sandwich which I had half for breakfast and will take the other half home when I leave before 11 to have it for lunch. Then I won't have to turn on the sink to wash dishes.
In other stuff, back is still fighting me so I'm trying to take as many breaks as it needs. Junie is still sneezy/wheezy and sometimes refuses food but I'm hoping she'll bounce back again. Dad has good days and not so great days. He actually doesn't call me as often so if it's been a while, I check in. I make sure it's at least once daily.
