My Landlord is....

...how do you say.... dumb.

So as previously stated our landlord leaves notes around the place. Everywhere. Anything from "these items should be recycled" to "please wrap your trees before transporting them."

The funniest note we have seen yet is as follows. [A little backstory: someone (we assume an angry ex-tenant) lit our building door on fire in the middle of the night about 6 months ago. It took until a month ago to get the door replaced. The new door is beautiful. Not in just an everything-in-our-building-is-80-years-old-so-this-looks-especially-awesome kind of way either. I was truly shocked when we saw it. The man still uses a typewriter and in his own words "is not on the line yet" So basically, this dude is old school.] My favorite part is in red.

And I quote:
Passersby sometimes comment on the enhanced appearance of the entryway to your residence (resulting from considerable thought on specified replacement details). Color and finish of the metal components is part of this appeal.

Marring the doorplate with routine/unconscious footmarks can over time alter this appeal. Beyond pushing the handle and inserting the key in most cases when your arms are not full, please be aware that it is often unnecessary to use your foot; kindly invent your own entry process to delete most footmarks when possible. Numerous or large bulky items can utilize the convenience of the door chain to unload into the lobby directly, and require specific oversight by resident involved.

Your cooperation in this detail can serve to perpetuate this original condition, which will be appreciated to retain finishes as much as possible.


....uhhh what.

Random Things

One time I was bored and started making a list of things that make me happy, you know like that email that goes around and everyone unanimously agrees and smiles. You might agree or you might think I am a strange bird.

Likes: free koozies, cookie dough, orange juice, breakfast tacos, chocolate milk shakes, seasonal crew socks, pop ice (which I feel need to be made bigger.. like that time they made giant Capri Suns. Yes, please.), thumb holes on sleeves

Annoyances: pickles, mayo, soggy remains of queso when you're soaking the almost empty bowl to clean

The In-Betweens: the dentist, hangers, bobby pins (does the jagged side go down or up?), vacuums.
