Ahh, Monday has arrived.

We had a super day weather wise. It was hard to keep my face from the window, but there was lots to do in the office. Typical Monday.

My property management story today is about a work order I received from a tenant. Her work order said," we have a leak in the washer, again, and one of the door knobs is broken and a hinge is broken on a kitchen cabinet". I took the time to check out the "again" word and found we had just had a repair done on the water line. She told me the water pan under the washer was full of water. I promptly told her to NOT use the washer and turn off the water lines. I spoke with the owner to get approval for the washer diagnosis and repair, not always an easy feat. While waiting for approval, I asked her what was wrong with the door knob and how did it get broken, and she replied, "Oh XXXX lied, it's not broken", and I promptly asked her why would she lie? She told me, "she wanted a lock on her door and asked me to put in a ticket for a broken door knob". Really? Then I asked her about the hinge. She told me that there was a screw missing. I asked if she still had the screw and she said she did, to which I asked her could she not put it back in and use a butter knife and screw it back in. Really. Then to top it off, she said someone used the washer and it wasn't leaking any more. Oh no. That tells me that the pan is full and it just overflowed into the downstairs unit. She wanted the appliance repairman to drain the pan. I told her that the cost of draining the pan was not the appliance repairman's job, that she can empty it by scooping and using rags to soak it up and get it emptied. Then run a cycle and see if any water shows up in the pan. What a maroon! This is an apartment with 5 people, at least, and none of them can screw in a screw or sop up water. I am amazed.

So some of my friends have taken a blog break after daily blogging. How sad it was to check out their blogs and find out only one went past the end of February. They know who they are and one has small children that need to have pictures taken and posted. Not to push, but I really like reading her blog.

California Explained

Tomorrow will be another good day. I will sit in my jammies a bit longer and drink 2 cups of java. I need to go grocery shopping, but I really don't want to . If I get around to it, then we will all eat. If not, we will fast. It's biblical.

I leave you with this. I laughed so hard when I saw this, and after spending some quality time with it, I saw how correct it was. For those who have been in my fair and loverly state, you will have a great time reading the county sections.
