It's a common wonderment around here to think "Hmm, I wonder if that person sells drugs out of here." or "Hmm...I wonder how many or what kind of drugs that person is on." or "Hmm...I wonder if that girl is of legal age."

I don't know what that means!
When my mom used to pound on the floor it meant either turn down the TV/music/loud thing OR comes upstairs to eat/reach something on a high shelf.
When the dude (I assume) downstairs pounds on his ceiling, our living room floor, I don't know what it means.
The music isn't excessively loud and nobody is even moving.
So...piss off grumpy 2nd floor dweller.Get yourself together. Please.

Freaking quarters
I had 6 quarters. To wash and dry a load of laundry, I need 8.
Jason found 4 and gave them to me. I can't find them so I suspect he picked them back up.
So what to do? Already put the laundry in the washer. Can't leave it in there because most certainly it will be the time every clown in this place decides to do laundry.
Well I have $2. That's about it. I can go buy 2 sodas for 75 cents, save them for later, and I'll get 2 quarters back in change. I guess it'll work.
Funny thing though. When you push the button for A&W Rootbeer, you get Grape Crush. When you push the mystery button (because now you're just feeling adventurous) you get nothing but a thunk. But I did get my quarter. Just not the other 75 cents I should have gotten back because it gave me nothing.
This is what a $1.50 can of Grape Crush look like. The laundry is in the dryer.

Secondary story.
OMG I thought the ceiling was gonna cave in! The lamp hanging from the ceiling FREAKED OUT COMPLETELY. Again. Jesus.
Also, found my fiance. He's lost and keeps hanging up on me. Today has been neat.

Faithful & gas masks
I can't believe I almost forgot Faithful! He seems to be our cleaning guy. He's a tiny older Asian man; I don't think he's got any teeth left. He looks Tibetan or something but that's purely a guess. So when he smiles, which is every second of the day, his little cheeks scrunch up and his eyes go all smiley. We saw him in the lobby the other day and Jason asked him if he ever gets a day off. He said that Sunday is his day off.
Jason introduced us and the the little guys says "I call myself Faithful." I don't know if he has a name that's too hard to say or if that's just what he wants to be called. Jason said "You always seem so happy!" Faithful said "This is what I want to do!"
He sweeps and mops and takes care of this fun house and that's what he wants to do. No wonder he's always so happy.
The next day....
We were getting some more loads of stuff from storage. Because it's never ending. (Almost done though.)
There was a big truck outside and some folks in dark clothes at the end of our hall with one of the night managers. I didn't really put the two together until I saw 2 large men come out the front wearing vests with POLICE on the front. They were also wearing gas masks.
They didn't seem to be, like, in a rush or terribly concerned about anything so....I guess that's fine?
When Jason saw them on our floor he asked if everything was ok and they said everything was good. But we didn't get any additional info. They later came back up with a big box of equipment or something.
I feel like if there was a meth lab or a body or something then there would be more people around than the two police with an unmarked truck. I know nothing else. But I did meet the other manager that I hadn't met yet. Jason wasn't with me so I told her he was my fiance and describing him went as such: My fiance's name is Jason. He's got tattoos on his face....well he's ONE of the guys with tattoos on his face....he's the NEWEST guy with tattoos on his face.
"Ooh, ok. The newest guy."
He's not the only one now. But he's the prettiest.
Today is also our 2 week move-iversary. It hasn't been dull.

New addition to the cast of characters!
Big guy, round belly, white beard, little red hat. He will now be called Smee.
He drinks vodka and calls Jason "Boss." Pretty awesome.
His mother just passed away so best wishes to him.

Points of interest.
As we walked in the lobby there was a woman standing there in her bathrobe.
Lady to Jason: Hey, do you know where I can get a tongue ring around town?
Jason: Um....not really.
Lady: Ok, well I just pierced my tongue with a paperclip so....I need something.
Me: Oh my god!
Jason: ........
*******************************************************************
The downstairs neighbors were either pounding on the ceiling or throwing things at the ceiling. It's not uncommon for them. (If you read the previous posts, they were the ones having a violent screaming match.) So we asked a person who knows more people around here if it was worth going down and talking to them or if it should be avoided. This person said there was a family down there so we'd be outnumbered and that he didn't recommend talking to them. He was more than happy to share his opinion about the place. They have new procedures here that they didn't have before and apparently it's not been for the better. So, basically, if there's really an issue we should just call the cops and not bother dealing with the staff here because they can't deal with it anyway. That's what we needed to know!
*******************************************************************
Our closet generally smells of stale smoke because the people downstairs smoke in their apartment, which they're not supposed to do. I put an air freshener in there so if we smell like fruit then that'll be why.
*******************************************************************
Someone wears bells. I know it's the same person every time they walk by because I can hear them jingling from the hall. Not sure who it is but it reminds me of my backpack bell from high school.
*******************************************************************
On a positive note, we had our first real guest! An old friend of Jason's found him online and came over and hang out. Yay!

That's...better?
At least it seems to have stopped dripping. The insulation is all wet but they don't want to fix it properly, they'll just wait for it to dry and cover it up. They allowed us to at least cover it up though. We'll be able to tell if it starts dripping again.
We thought maybe we'd moved on from these things but that's not quite the case. Oh well. They're trying to fix it when there are less blizzard-like conditions on the roof. They continue to joke and imply that they can't afford to fix it anyway. So that's interesting.
Meanwhile....this is happening in my cube at work. Again.
