I really want to post some of the before-and-after floor plans I've been fixing up, because I am very proud of them. :)

I mean, I am sure the work would be very simple in a proper graphics program, to say nothing of an architectural drafting program! But I am working in fucking MS Paint, okay, based on slightly wonky JPEGs of slightly wonky old ( Read more... )

Today was my first shift at Not the IRS for the 2022 tax season, and predictably nothing happened. I was actually entirely on my own after the first fifteen minutes, but I was able to get the passcode to the doohickey where we keep the spare key so locking up was not an issue.

I didn't bother to close out the cash drawer because nobody used it all ( Read more... )

I got up a bit later than intended, and then took a little longer getting ready to leave than intended, with the net result that I left at 12:15pm instead of 11-11:30am, but my drive was pretty smooth and I made it to NJ before sunset, so it's all good. I listened to the latest episode of Enthusigasm, and then several lectures in my current Great ( Read more... )

Things about today:

1. Two apartment tours. I have a good feeling about the first prospect; I think they will apply within a day or three. I think the second prospect is still in the shopping around stage, but they did seem positive about the apartment and building, so.

I have another tour scheduled for tomorrow, but my read on that prospect (from ( Read more... )

Things about today:

1. I worked 10am-6pm instead of 9am-5pm, because Mr. Geniality is out for the week (his friend got free tickets to Vegas and he needed to use up some vacation days) and I wanted to make sure someone was in the office in case a tenant came in between 5 and 6pm. In the event, one person did came in to pay some back rent, so yay for ( Read more... )

Ack, where did the time go?!

Um, anyway, I am alive! I've been a bit swamped at work as we gear up for the 2022-23 rental season (Ithaca is a college town; our rental market is completely skewed by this) and try to finish up the dregs of move-in maintenance problems and virtual tour videos.

What else, what else...

I remembered I had a copy of A ( Read more... )

I left later than I'd hoped, which is partially because I accidentally cursed myself to sleep poorly (I always sleep poorly the night before I travel somewhere), and partially because I wanted to get some stuff done in Ithaca before hitting the road.

But! I loaded Mom's two boxes of nice china dishes into my lovely car (along with a basket of ( Read more... )

On Tuesday night, my laptop asked to push a system update from HP (the manufacturer; I have an HP Envy). I looked it over, insofar as I was able, and it seemed reasonable. So I gave it permission to install, my computer restarted, and everything seemed fine.

On Wednesday, I unplugged my laptop and hauled it around all day so I'd have it with me at ( Read more... )

Today at work I:

1. Wrote and sent out three new leases.

2. Processed one completed lease.

3. Answered a bunch of inquiries.

4. Shot video of a staged studio. Uploaded said video to Google Photos. Shared the album with the guy who does our video editing.

5. Approved the edit of an old video, which was shot early last summer before we changed a policy ( Read more... )

Work was kind of blargh today, but Mr. Geniality and I did get video of another apartment, so that's good. I also finished editing the photos I took of said apartment on Saturday, but I was unable to get them onto our website because the uploader broke around 5pm. Ugh.

Then I had a Board of Trustees meeting immediately upon arriving home. This was ( Read more... )
