Nope, I did not bet on and lose a fortune on the Superb Owl and hell, I didn’t even watch that big “event” (and yeah, I know that makes me a baaaad American or whatever). But I’d rather have done that nonsense and wake up with a hangover on the moon with the next bus back not for a month than get hit on the head by a few too many stupid things that have been stabbing at me for the past few months.

Between the shitty work done in the apartment over too long a time period up to the YouTube nonsense that just fell into my lap, I’m going all Howard Beale on anyone else who messes with me. And if you don’t know who Howard Beale is, look him up, please. I’d post that familiar clip from Network here, but I can’t get into my damn YouTube page until I watch that stupid goddamn cartoon pirate cat video and take a dumb-ass quiz that’s an insult to my intelligence… Hell, pretty much every valid and legal response I can think of has a stupid video clip attached to it, but here I sit, stewing in my own juices for no reason other than your rules make people who file complaints too damn lazy to find out why a video is being posted. Anyway, you’ve kind of ticked off the wrong guy this fine evening. I’m just going to poke you with my joke stick until you keel over from all the non-injuries you’ve taken and do the right thing.

Oh, and Parkchester? Get the hell into the 21st century already. Have someone create a damn app where tenants who need repairs done can simply take a photo of the problem and send it to the office where someone in maintenance can look at it and get a repair job done faster. This old school crap with calling you up for EACH repair, having someone write down what was said (often incorrectly because the human on the other end is more concerned with getting back to yakking about what they saw on TV last night), then waiting days to WEEKS for an inspection, then another few days to weeks for that repair is NUTS.

Not to mention the MASSIVE amounts of paperwork and time that’s wasted when the wrong people show up because someone just wasn’t listening on the other end of the line. That and what the hell is up with all those forms that need signing? Each inspection and service call results in what, four sheets of paper for each apartment? No wonder you have more file cabinets in that office than some small countries. Anyway, I’d go make an app for you and help streamline this stupid process, but I don’t know how to make apps and wouldn’t want to be in charge of the mess you’re making with those 12,000+ apartments here.

Enough is enough. if you can pay for new uniforms for maintenance, too many badly planted trees (expect some of those planted way too close to buildings or in other silly spots to be very problematic in about 15 or so years) and other nonsense, you can get your house in order and up to more modern standards. Eh, whatever. I think I may have posted this piece of MS paint art previously, but I’m too annoyed to check.

Oh well. I hope Monday is a bit better, crappy weather aside, grrrr.
