when i lived in la i\u2019d say my landlord was a slum landlord. i lived in a beautiful part of west hollywood, but my apartment complex was this little bit of slumdom in the middle of lots of people with money.<\/p>\n
so now i\u2019m sort of in the same boat. except this neighborhood is a little more iffy,and this landlord seems to be even cheaper, which i didn\u2019t think actually possible.<\/p>\n
I HAVE HEAT, which is the most important thing. the guy fixed it today. but then there\u2019s the issue of the stove, with the knob that will not move. i talked to the guy who is supposed to fix it and he said that the thermostate is broken and he can\u2019t find a part and he can\u2019t call his suppliers till monday but he doesn\u2019t think there will BE a part to be found. “so she\u2019ll have to buy me a new stove?” i asked him. and he said “she won\u2019t buy you a NEW one,” and his tone was SO FUCKING SNOTTY. i said “at least i need one that WORKS.” YOU FUCKING STUPID FUCKER. i left all that off of the end of my sentence of course. right now i sort of hate men whoe come to work on things. i think it\u2019s just that this is a slum landlord. she lives in florida – she met a guy and moved there and she wants to sell this building and she doesn\u2019t want to be bothered and she doesn\u2019t want to put any money at all into the place which i can understand BUT I NEED A STOVE. <\/p>\n
damn. <\/p>\n
but i do have heat. hot water. wireless internet. <\/p>\n
the fixtures are all shoddy. the faucet in the kitchen probably cost about three dollars. maybe less. it\u2019s very very crappy. the water was dribbling out and dad came over and fooled around with it and by banging on it he managed to fix it. shoddy.<\/p>\n
i\u2019m in this place for exactly six months, not one day longer. i\u2019m really hoping that once i have a working stove, i\u2019ll never have to talk to this slum landlord again.<\/p>\n
that\u2019s my plan, anyway.<\/p>\n
so tonight i went to a retirement party for a high-ranking law enforcement official. he started a band and the band played at his own party and i videotaped it which was fun. all guys either want to be in bands or are in bands, is what i\u2019ve decided. it\u2019s a very very guy thing.<\/p>\n
it was a perfectly nice party, plus i figured that my purse absolutely could never ever be safer than at this party. cops everywhere.<\/p>\n
there was plenty of food and alcohol, which i had plenty of. but then i waited patiently for the retirement cake.<\/p>\n
THERE WAS NO RETIREMENT CAKE.<\/p>\n
HOW CAN A PERSON RETIRE WITH NO RETIREMENT CAKE?<\/p>\n
i bet they had retirement cake at his retirement party at the office. but YOU ALWAYS NEED CAKE. like i said, the food was quite good. BUT I NEED CAKE.<\/p>\n
that\u2019s all i\u2019m saying.<\/p>\n
if i ever had a substantial enough job in my life where i\u2019d actually get to retire, of course i\u2019d expect cake. i don\u2019t think i\u2019m ever going to achieve this, to be perfectly honest.<\/p>\n
but luckily i can make my own cake whenever i want.<\/p>\n
AT LEAST WHEN MY OVEN IS FIXED.<\/p>\n
monday. <\/p>\n
did i tell you what the very serious gas company guy said about my furnace in my new duplex? he said it\u2019s MOBILE HOME FURNACE; he\u2019s never seen a furnace like that in anything but a MOBILE HOME.<\/p>\n
SLUM LANDLORD.<\/p>\n
i do have pretty nice hardwood floors and 12 foot ceilings and i\u2019m going to be very content when i\u2019m actually living there with all my stuff and my kitties.<\/p>\n
hopefully nothing will break in the next six months, that\u2019s all i have to say.<\/p>\n
and now, sleep.<\/p>\n
i hope your weekend is filled with fun. might i suggest a trip to disneyland? i was toying with the idea of going there when i\u2019m in LA but there won\u2019t be time. <\/p>\n
ok ok ok,<\/p>\n
