Oh thank god my apartment is now bedbug free and is being aired out -- although what's left of the fumes smells weirdly like peppermint.
Work today. Ugh.
Turns out that there's 10 houses left to be painted/touched up by end of august. In comparison, while I was on cleaning crew, painting crew finished two houses, so that equals to about two weeks per house? Yeah.
Went to 1 Knowlton today, which hasn't had a redone paint job since 2 years ago, when the summer crew then went haywire and just used whatever colors. It has, however, been spackled. Every singly little tack hole that you'd normally cover with paint? We walked in and there was white EVERYWHERE.
Half the walls and the stairwells there? You can't match colors to patch it up, because 2 years ago whenever they started to run low on colors, they'd just mix two together to continue painting instead of sticking to limited colors. So now we have to repaint an entire house roughly by tomorrow. Glorious. The room Arielle and I finished today is like, gross ninja-turtle green, old sage-green that we can't match, aaaand blue. I feel so bad for people in that room this upcoming semester. :C It's going to continue to be just as bad for the rest of the houses, I think.
Nevermind that everyone was sick and snappish from paint fumes and the heat, and just being super stressed. I am so done with it.
In short, today was totally saved by song:
Thank god for the weekend :C Going to Soma tonight and never looking back.
