Well, now that the new furniture had come in and the lobby had gotten itself a facelift, Rachel could sigh appreciatively as she looked around at her creation and set to the task of not only appreciating it, but also maintaining it ( Read more... )

The new furniture that Rachel had ordered should be coming in later today, tomorrow at the latest, so that just meant that the old furniture would have to go until she decided exactly what to do with it. She figured she could sell it to that second hand shop, but she wasn't quite ready to let it go yet. You never knew when you might need extra ( Read more... )

Rachel had some work to do at the lobby desk today, some of it regarding a complete redecoration of this lobby, some of it much more boring, which is why the pauses to sigh and look around the place with vacant daydreaming happened quite a lot. She still couldn't get over it. All those nice flowers, just poof! Gone. Unexplainably. She thought ( Read more... )

The last thing Rachel had expected when she went out of her apartment and into the lobby that morning were all those flowers and decorations just thrown right up all over the place, and she just had to boggle for a little bit. She would have known if her lobby had been used for a party last night, she would like to think, and the flowers, well, ( Read more... )

Since she was going to the beach tomorrow, Rachel had considered taking some of her 'work' outside with her to try and get a little bit of a tan, but she knew as soon as the thought waltzed through her head that it was a bad one. Sun and Rachel were not a good combination. Even just the slightest bit over too much, and she'd have a migraine up to ( Read more... )

If it wasn't one thing, it was the other, jeez oh man. Rachel was learning the consequences of her ne'er-do-well attitude toward work yesterday. She'd reasoned with herself that she'd done a helluva good job on Wednesday and refused to lift a finger all day yesterday, enjoying her productivity with delicious baked goods that wasn't going to do ( Read more... )

Occasionally letting the sway of the jazz coming from her record player swing her head and her shoulders a little, Rachel was in a pretty darn good mood as she sat behind the lobby desk to take care of the usual work that just came right in hand with owning a successful apartment building. That was no small amount of work, really, and there were ( Read more... )
