A Day In My Life
Someone left a giant fake spider on the stairs.
As I sorted clothes I heard someone calling out for help. I opened the door only to hear a creepy laugh.
Someone is moving out because the dumpster was full. One black Oxford shoe sat on top of the massive pile.
I received a delivery from a box store. As I started to leave the young lady handed me a piece of paper and waved goodbye. The note read, "I am Anna and it was a pleasure meeting you."
After nearly three years without a regular cleaner I hear a vacuum outside my door.
I ran into a tenant in the hallway who told me his vacuum went kaput. I gave him my shop vac because I never use it. He didn't even say thank you.
Someone plays the same song every single night at ten pm.
My upstairs neighbor no longer sounds as if she's tap dancing. She must have taken up a quieter hobby.
The painters finished painting the walls in the landing after a six month sabbatical. Oddly, they left an unfinished patch on the ceiling. They also left the paint lid on the radiator. I am going to keep track on how long it stays there.
I know I should complain but who would I tell? There is a flag in the hallway by the window which is falling apart, literally falling into shreds. When I moved here twelve years ago, there was a table, two chairs, a grandfather clock, a side table and a lovely painting. Oh, and beautiful plants. Everything is gone except for the crumbling American flag.
It is Monday, 2pm and the parking lot is full. Could all the tenants be in the restaurant industry? 🤔
The man who smokes and gives me dirty looks since the day I moved in has a lovely apartment. I must walk past his window when I take out the garbage. It is filled with plants and beautiful glass pieces. So, he can't be a bad guy even if he hates me. Right?
My fridge is dying and it will be the third one to die on me. I am a refrigerator killer.
I love this place.
