Update...

[reymonkey]

The window people finally came. Yay, new windows and no more broken window panes with duct tape on them. Uhh... Yay putty on things in the bathroom, kitchen window ledge my single potted plant no longer fits on, semi-broken blinds left propped on the floor and in the sink, acorns all over the place, and stuff they had no business touching very obviously touched and played with. Janewt, consider yourself forewarned, the Djehuty doll was found laying upside down across some old sculptures with one slipper missing, found on the floor later.
Yergh. I'm paranoid I guess, I'm finding myself still wandering the place peering at everything in case of stolen or damaged items. This has been a hellish week so far, with hauling the cats to Bridgie's parents every morning. I've been lucky to get extra work shifts that kept me busy, but tempers are a little frayed. Nobody likes having strange workmen wander the house. And now that we have nice properly closing windows with putty sealant, they made sure every fly in a two-mile radius was inside the house before closing it up again.

on the lighter side, there was this advert on the radio for some car dealership, and they mentioned an SUV with a back-up camera. I said if you need that kind of assistance parking your around-town vehicle, it's way too effing big. Since we're having a slowly-letting-our-breath-out kind of night now that the windows are in, this spawned something like 'Yo Mama' jokes.

My SUV is so big...
It takes up two zip codes.
It's classified as a tectonic plate.
There's a wildlife refuge in my glove compartment.
It's joining the war for oil. It's a new continent, it can do that.
Donald Trump built offices in the backseat.
I am selling tickets and holding concerts in it.
It puts me too high to even see the stop signs.

I am torn between going AUGH people crashing around and leaving junk in your apartment (and poor Djehuty)...and snickering madly at the SUV jokes. Especially the wildlife refuge.

He will totally kick their butts for removing his slipper. >:(

It was the acorns that got me. I guess they must have blown through the windows rather than been brought in, but still. OMGWTFACORNS?

[djanewty.livejournal.com]

The acorns are bizarre. I'm imagining tiny elf people bringing them in for...arcane tiny elf purposes. Or something.

I don't suppose any complaining to apartment people would be useful at all? Because leaving all that crap lying around really is lousy workmanship.

I think the tree behind our apartment is throwing them at us to get our attention for some reason.

Considering the last time we complained to the apartment people about our broken window, we got duct tape and several months' wait for repair, I'm not sure there's any point. :-/

Meh. Meh. Yeah, I rarely actually Complain To People.

Honestly, we don't really want to draw attention to the pet millipedes, either. I'm not sure what they'd think of it, and I wouldn't want to be told they were Not Cool with the pet keeping rules. We are not getting rid of our millipedes. Anyway, it's over now.

[djanewty.livejournal.com]

Bah.

As you say, it's over.

[reymonkey.livejournal.com]

Do snicker madly at the jokes, because if you can't laugh... And yes, it's over. Wacky weirdshit persists and Morri is lingering unhappy, but at least the windows are in and we don't have to worry about that anymore.

We had a mini-bug invasion, too, when the painters were here. No acorns, though.

[reymonkey.livejournal.com]

Ah, but do you have an oak tree looming over your building? Hope you didn't kill too many. Morri would advocate carefully and gently capturing each one to release outside...

[placeboweek.livejournal.com]

Our condo is above the tree line. :)

Um... well... not TOO many. I'm terrified of centipedes, so that one didn't end well. I had a hornet in my kitchen, too, but it died on its own.
