Herp derps

There wasn't really a suitable title for this post except that it's a couple minor complaints. Therefore, herp derps.   Firstly, the building keys. Allow me to fill you in on this briefly, with the help of a couple bullets.

  • Back in October, my building had flyers posted on the doors about how the outside doors were soon going to have locks installed. We had a week to go to the office and pick up a key. If we missed that deadline, we had to pay a $35 fee to get one.  (That seems odd to me, but maybe I'm naive. I already pay to live here. Just give me the flippin' key, regardless of whether or not I pick it up in your timeline. I pay you money to live here. Don't deny me access.) I got my key on time, so I'm not complaining about that. But I thought it was lame all the same. So there's that.
  • For a month, nothing happened. I spoke with two pals in my complex about it. One lives in another building, the other lives in my building. The first pal, the one in a different building, had no idea about the keys. Seems it either isn't happening at her building (which would be bizarre), or the office is simply doing one building at a time. The latter seems more likely. I'll keep up with that. So first buddy in another building didn't know anything about it.
  • Second buddy, who lives in my building...  Apparently, when she went to the office to get her key, the chick working at the time had no idea what she was talking about. Wasn't the slightest bit aware that our building was getting keys and locks. (Kind of a large change for members of management to not know about.)  After a little more chatting, we realized that the manager decided to do this all on her own and hadn't even notified everyone in the office before she ran around our building posting notices.  That's really lame, man...   Especially, imho, since on her flyer, she claimed it was due to popular demand. She made it out to look like enough tenants had asked for locks to be installed on the doors that she had to comply.   ...Which doesn't seem to be true. Anyone I've spoken with was caught with their pants down about it. 
So the whole building key thing is kind of iffy. I'll keep my eye on it, make sure it happens in the other buildings. It'd be mighty odd if they were only doing my building--one of like...ten. But I wouldn't put it past them. This place is weird. Flippin' weird.

And lastly, a minor temporary complaint about their hours. I only have until the 5th to pay rent. That's no big deal and they're open until about 5 PM, typically.  It's frustrating, however, when I try to pay rent on the 1st, and they're closed. And I go back the next morning, and they're closed. What the flip-flop, guys. You give me five days to pay rent and aren't there the first couple days? Aaaugdhlgdsglsd.  Here's for hoping I can pay rent this evening.  That's enough ranting for now. Toodles.

Oh wait. I forgot to mention. In the previous post where I uploaded photos of the pooled water.. I accidentally deleted the photos. My bad. Maybe I'll get some replacement photos after the next big rain. :u
