Living the Safe Life

After much bitching and phone calls (Jason's doing, not mine) someone finally came to check the electrical stuff today to make sure it's not going to burn the place down. What with all the holes in the ceiling exposing the moldy insulation and falling ceiling tiles, it was worth a look.
In our unit, the hole in the ceiling is near a hanging light. They said it was ok. No water mixing with the electricity.
I don't know what the verdict was with the hallway. Things aren't falling out of the ceiling as much now that things have dried up. Out of sight, out of mind, no doubt.
Pretty though, huh?





In other news, Sad Santa has gotten more vocal as of late. He tends to yell randomly and at nobody. Jason's impression of it sounds very much like the Tazmanian Devil.

He's less Santa-like lately because he's not been wearing his red coat as often. I can't understand a single word he says when I do hear him talk. The guy he was talking to at the elevator today said he was asking him for money to buy him a soda, which apparently he does for him a lot.  


There seems to be many disgruntled folks around here. Sometimes we can hear them talking out in the back where people go to smoke. A few people were discussing the lack of security in our secured building.
When we were moving in the LAST of our stuff a few days ago a couple guys waited by the door and followed us in. That's what people do when they want in. Doesn't take a lot of effort. Some will wait like they're waiting for someone but some will just stand there looking like they're waiting to be let in. We were carrying in the top of the god damn heavy glass table and the tall guy says "where's that goin??" I want to say "none of your business creeper!" But I did not. They gazed at us weirdly as we got in to the elevator and thankfully did not get in with us. Thanks huge table for taking up room. I'd prefer to have fewer people following us to our apartment when they are not supposed to be here. It would likely be a more secure building if it wasn't a "secure building."
They lock the bathroom and laundry room doors at night here because they had issues previously with people letting folks in at night to sleep in the rooms that were left open.
I don't mind so much if there are random people hanging out in the lobby but when people are walking the halls for no reason then I don't care for it. We have enough people coming and going for nefarious purposes without extras. If I wanted to start doing meth, I think this could be a good place to start looking.

There's also this...out in front of the building. Soo is there just a stop in the parking lot? Drive thru? I don't know. We live IN a hotel basically, why isn't this happening inside? Mystery.
