A break from the phoneposts
This is from mechamom's computer, so don't get excited and think I'm back yet. 'Cause I ain't. I won't be until mid-October at least.
For the record, mechamom's computer's spacebar SUCKS and after this sentence I am no longer going back to fix when it doesn't work.
We're finally getting out of thehorrible hellhole that is our current apartment,which is exceedingly nice. The downside is that we're goingto be sharing a two-bedroomwith mechamom and mechastepdad, which will be abit tight seeing as mecha and I aren't really inthe habit ofsharing abedroom. But the apartment is here inthe same complex as mechamom's current apartment, which isa lovely complex with the following attributes that differ radically from Wyckford Commons:
1. Nobody plays incredibly bass-heavy music for hours at a time and/or at 2 in themorning.
2. Nobody leaves literally dozens of beer bottles sitting out on the grass after their noisy all-night party involving aforementioned music.
3. If someone were to leave asandwich on the steps here, it would not sit there literally until it rotted away, as happened at Wyckford. Cleaning type dudesgo around every morning totake careof the grounds.
4. When you make a maintenance request, they don't a) not ever send someone so for all they know that cloggedtoilet you mentioned is still clogged tothis day; or b) send someone who does a half-assed job, promises to come back and finish later, and never returns. Thus meaning that
4a. What happened inSarah and Ted's apartment here at Wyckford, where the maintenance guys let thekitchen above themflood and THE KITCHEN CEILING BEGAN TO COLLAPSE, wouldnot be responded to by tapingover the bulge and then givingit a fresh coat of paint. (no, that is what really happened.)
5. You get the idea.
Sarah and Ted also moved, toadifferent complex. They too are glad to bid good-bye to Wyckford Commons.
Also, Sarah got ajob which she thenleft about three days later, at a steakhouse nearby... don't tell anyone I told you about all this stuff I'mabout to type, about *cough*thePonderosaonwest10th*cough*, but:
1. Sarah was informed that Indiana is a "no-break state", and so employees at this fine establishment are not given breaks or lunches, paid or unpaid. Except for the manager who gets a one-hour paid break every day.
2. Once this chick who worked there accidentally cut off the end of her finger and it went in somesoup. She dumped it out but was later told that she should have just left it -- it's just "more meat". (Sarah herself talked to the girl who lost the bit of finger, so this is not somecrazy rumor here.)
3. Sarah was asked to forge documents saying that temperatures on the buffet had beenchecked every hour when really it had only been doneacouple times all day.
4. She was also asked to forge documents saying that they had done therequired giant cleaningevery three days when it hadn't been done ina couple weeks.
5. There was more but I forget and mechais makingmehurry.
Also I need someone to log into Puzzle Pirates as me just for a sec so my chars don't get deleted. I'm going to make areal quick special locked post for the few YPP-playing (if you still are) people I knowfor sure won't do evil things while pretending to be me, so people like Jeremy and Andwoo and Tom, make sure you are logged inif you wish to do meafavor kthx. And respond once you've logged as me so nobody else bothers.
Think that was everything, must go, bye! See y'all againthenext timeI make aphonepost out of sheer boredom.
