Do I ever do anything but whine on this site? Anyway, yes, more unhappiness, with pictures this time.

I snapped this pic of the butt-can outside the front door of our building a few weeks ago. This has since been cleaned up, but by the maintenance guys and not the jerks who left the mess.

The trash only gets dumped twice a week. The week before Memorial day, they dumped it on Thursday.. this is how it looked by mid-weekend.

Last weekend, we came home and discovered this lovely park job. The green car is my Bonneville. The photo is a bit of an optical illusion, I could not have physically walked between the vehicles, nor opened the driver’s door of my car.

Yesterday, Barton caught one of the residents of our building using our patio area as his own for a smoke break.

Smoking... on our patio.

The apartment above us is empty and the maintenance crew is apparently working up there to fix it up for new tenants. While I was making the stew, I heard a WHAM when they dropped something heavy on the floor. A little while later, I’m sitting at my desk writing up my previous post about making the beef barley stew, and there’s another WHAM.

This time, it jars the floor so hard that the light fixture, that is above and slightly to the right of me, breaks loose. One of the rods that holds the glass bowl of the fixture broke free and it was left swinging by the remaining 2 rods.

Needless to say, this pissed me off. The glass bowl, while not completely broken, is in no shape to go back up there, even if the rods that hold it in place are able to be screwed back into the fixture. The holes where the rods go through the bowl are chipping away. While taking it down before it fell down on me, I got showered with little shards of glass.

Pictures to follow (once my camera battery charges).
