One of these days I'll learn to never take a moment to relax, to think that my point has finally gotten through, to imagine that the work I was promised would actually be done
( Read more... )
Maybe we can set up some group nagging pool, where we all take turns calling all the bureaucratic and/or completely incompetent management agencies, bureaus, companies and suchlike that make all of our lives such a joy. It'd at least be a nice change of voices on the other end of the phone.
You need to stop using the word "tomorrow". Do more things "today". Also, any update from the city guy? The one whose job is to mediate these sort of things? I assume he must have called the office at least once.
That guy's call is what actually got them to call me back the first time. They've been moderately more responsive... but if they don't do anything tomorrow, the city's getting called again in the afternoon.
Wow, what an amazing repair job! The way it blends into the existing finish, it's like they were never there! That's some craftsmanship right there, yep.
So someone ran out to Home Despot and picked up a tiny little bucket of patch compound. Except that it's nigh impossible to patch previously watersoaked drywall. Speaking of which, did anyone ever claim that they fixed the original source of the water?
I'm guessing that they're amazing knowledge of structural integrity where "repairs" are concerned is what led to the light falling in back in November of '05.
Only a matter of time before it falls down again.
I'm almost hoping for a glancing blow from it when it does... that would solve most of my problems. :)

I empathize muchly.

I think we know people who could do that.
We could be rich! :)

A giant cannon that fires poop should do.
Zim and I are waiting for our Mac Book Pro that is on backorder.
But seriously WTF!? You guys are all having horrible luck. If I had the space you'd could come over and watch cartoons. This shit is just silly.
I'm surprise you didn't come home to a little blonde boy with his finger stuck in a whole in your ceiling and that it.
