A Rough Day

Sauerkraut Here!

Yesterday started out super great, I literally fell out of my house, who the fuck falls out of their house? Apparently I do. I was locking my door when I think I put too much pressure on my right ankle and I could feel it starting to twist. To prevent this I guess I did some weird movement that resulted in me landing on my back on the cold concrete outside my apartment. I was in so much pain I couldn’t move, my purse went flying, my blanket was sprawled open and when I could finally move, I sat there (on the ice cold concrete) holding my ass for a good 2-3 minutes. Eventually I got up, collected my belongings and hobbled my way to the car with a bruised tailbone… It still hurts.

When I got to work I called my property manager and left him a really mean message… “Hi *** this is Sauerkraut on RopePork Avenue, I still don’t have heat and it’s been a month. It went out on New Year’s Eve and it took 4 days for someone to come “fix” it, but it wasn’t fixed. They came back and “fixed” it, again, it’s still not fixed. You called a week later, I told you it wasn’t fixed, you said you’d call them, nothing! A week later your receptionist called to check on the status of my heat and I told her that you called, you were supposed to call them and it’s still not fixed. Now, I’m pissed! I want heat and I want it today! You have broken the lease because these are unlivable conditions, I pay my rent and I’m a good tenant. I want my heat today! Click.

For lunch Sheek Geek and I went To Mikado (Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar), he was so excited when he discovered we work near one and he begged me to go. He had some weird sushi shit and some green peas covered in salt, they assigned them a fancy name so they could charge $9 for them, but really they were nothing more than squishy green peas covered in salt. I had… Nothing… We stopped at Sonic on the way back to the office, ha!

When I got back to the office I continued my shit ass day by finishing my babysitting task. Basically, I was assigned the task to check three different places and ensure that a co-worker of mine was doing their job, I was babysitting. It took me all day to do this stupid task and when I sent out my report it got torn apart… By someone who only received the email to be in the loop. The best part is, the column they were upset about… Had nothing to do with my task, it was there before I added on my part of the report. Joy! P.S. Did I mention I’m a Receptionist? An under paid Receptionist?

I didn’t give a rats’ ass what this person was saying and I took the opportunity to walk out at the first moment of silence, assuming the conversation was over. Apparently, it wasn’t because I spent the next five minutes getting my ass chewed for walking out. Am I two?

Again, I just sat there holding back my laughter at how ridiculous the situation was and then I went back to my desk, but not before asking for permission… Because I’m two.

After work I stopped by the phone store and ended up trading in my trusty Blackberry Pearl for a newer Blackberry. I had my Pearl for 3 years and I took really good care of it, but it was slowly dying, so now I have the potato phone… It’s big, like a potato.

Meet "The Potato Phone."

When I got home I had every intention of going to Home Depot to buy a new filter for my furnace, but I got too pooped. Why am I buying a new filter? Because my mother told me to suck it up, “I got my heat so just suck it up and buy the damn filter.” Basically here’s what happened… The guy fixed the heat and told Mr. Coconut that I needed a new filter but that I had to purchase it because the property managers didn’t want to pay him to go buy one and install it. Again, pissed off I called the slumlords and asked them why I had to purchase the filter, “Because you’re supposed to replace those every 60-90 days.” You’re a fucking idiot. Not only was this not in the lease, but from the looks of it my filter hasn’t been replaced since the 70’s (check my next post for a photo) and I have only lived there for 102 days. I understand that this is only a few dollars, but that’s not the point! The point is, my lease says “The cost of repairs, restorations and replacements shall be paid for by Owner if rendered necessary by normal wear and tear.” So… I want my $11.72 back.

Anyways, it was a rough day.

That is all.
