^ If they don't fix your potty within 24 hours write up a detail of how much rent you expect to be deducted from the next bill and email it to your management company.
Just get aggressive. Call every couple of hours asking them to come fix it within the hour.
Nah, that's not an option.
These people want all of us out, because we are paying way below market for rent. They won't do yearly leases, and only do month to month.
They will use any excuse to get us out.
The last time I tried fighting an unscrupulous landlord, I was evicted and became homeless.
I'm not going to lose this place until I'm ready to move.

If you are familiar with their games you know what’s best.
If you know it’s a deal it changes it a bit.
They should still do it for you though sheesh or at least let you hire handyman .

Men and the "smile" bullshit. Enough already! I was heading to the 2nd floor to do laundry in the hotel's laundry room. I had my 2 year old and 8 month old in the stroller while also hauling a big ass bag of laundry and laundry detergent. This fucker had the nerve to stop me and say,"Smile!" as if he were commanding a dog to bark or sit. You see that I have my hands full and you're still going to bother me. Guys keep reinforcing my belief that I don't think I'll be dating again for a long, long time.

Le Sigh .....
Buried in paperwork today.
I was an idiot and didn't give the state of Hawaii the sales tax I owed for 2-3 years.
I have to go BACK in records and do these damn forms and pay ( and PRAY they will take some of penalty off ) .
It was the big " I can't believe I did this " hold up in the business.
I don't have *a lot* of income from there anymore but my business still did some business over there so I do owe them this.
I need to finish it and next time pay ON TIME .
I paid off credit cards , did on time federal returns, didn't touch my real estate nest eggs.
But of course I have to have some little imperfection with how I handled things in the last few years.

Paypal does not allow any adult transactions so you can't use it for your "donors." You risk losing your account forever. I've seen quite a few people lose theirs. And yes... you risk them finding out your real name.
No, this was for my vanilla YouTube channel.
All of the channels that I watch use PayPal to get donations.
It's also tied to my Ko-fi , which I also see youtubers use.

Why are men still doing the long facial hair thing ?
Shave to 1/8 - 1/4 inch beards. Those are hot.
Longer and it looks like you are just covered in long pubes and eating them. When will this stop ?

Think in organization by USE. Objects used every day can be out or in a drawer easy to grab.
Things only used every 2-7 days should be in a cabinet / closet in the room you'd use it in.
Use it every 10-15 days ? closets if you have them
If you rarely use something back of closet or garage.
Consider selling things you haven't used in a year so your place has a sleek / streamlined look.

It's so tacky to get baby shower invites/registry information from people you don't even speak to. This relative is inviting me to her baby shower but we haven't seen or spoken to each other in years, nor has she even written a "Happy Birthday!" on my Facebook wall over the years. So, congrats on your pregnancy but there's no way in hell I'm attending an out-of-state baby shower or buying a gift.

That's so sweet your grandmother used to make homemade pierogies. My grandma, actually my family, is Ukrainian, too. She and my mother made pierogies. They always were served with butter and onions. We usually made the potato and cheese ones, sometimes my Mom would make blueberry ones too. I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. Did you guys ever make paska bread for Easter? I'd like to do that again once I find a home, find some good paska bread recipes and make some. It was always really good with cream cheese and honey.
I remember at the Ukrainian Catholic Church I attended growing up there were these old ladies in the kitchen who made pierogies once a week to serve at Bingo on Tuesdays. When I was 13 I used to steal their cigarettes and smoke them in the church hall bathroom.
Also, I fucking hate long beards too. One of my old regulars had one of those kind of beards and I swear it was so unattractive. He'd smoke and then his beard would stink as well . it was just so gross.

Thank you! nice to hear your family is Ukrainian too. My mother's side is Ukrainian and omg you reminded me about paska lol. My grandmother would make a huge Easter basket every year and I'd go with her to 3 hour long Easter church mass just so I could pig out after on all the things like kubasa (not sure about the spelling) her potato salad and of course her paska with cream cheese..good memories..Never cooked with her unfortunately, she liked to do all meals on her own. My mother never learned either. Youre lucky you learned how and will love doing it when you find a place xx

Bf got pumpkins to carve last weekend. The flesh is still in the fridge, I hope it's not going to waste but we didn't separate the seeds and I cba to do the work to do that and cook it. Wish we'd frozen it. Also now we have pumpkins outside but he is at work and I think people will come out before he's home. i don't really want to be answering the door and doing all that. I didn't ask for more cooking and more work!

Oh my God I remember doing that when I was younger too! Going to the church with our Easter baskets filled with paska kielbasa sauerkraut cream cheese, etc. Hard boiled eggs too. My mother used to make this little lamb sculpture out of butter and we all used to tease her about it because it really look like a little dog LOL. We also had those special decorated Ukrainian Easter eggs with the patterns on them. Nothing like a Ukrainian Easter breakfast!
I'm feeling pissy because I'm about to get my period. And I feel bloated like a little Ukrainian hard-boiled egg.
@chanzep so sorry to hear that you're not feeling well on your birthday! I hope you're able to celebrate and get your beauty treatments when you're feeling better

Never liked it til later on. I definitely miss all of that now thanks for reminiscing

No word back from the maintenance guy on when they would be back to do the work, so I texted him.
His reply was that I will need to remove the clothes from my closet before they fix the rod.
I immediately reply that I will, and ask when, and when will they repair my broken toilet handle?
It's been 2 days, and I haven't heard back from him.
I've decided to fix the rod myself, and to hire someone to remove the closet doors that are always off their tracks.
The toilet?
Well, at least I can still flush it by reaching into the tank.
I also have a camping style pee bucket that I've been using, along with a portable toilet made for handicapped people.
Shame on these slumlords, and there is a special place in hell for all of them.
Finally heard back, and he set the time for yesterday at 1.
They sent the 80 year old guy again.
Within 1 minute he made it clear that he's not married.
I ignore his comment.
He fixed my toilet handle, but still couldn't figure out how to fix my closet door, or the rod.
Tells me he needs to come back today.
Are you freaking kidding me?
I tell him that he needs to do it now, as ALL of my clothes have been taken out per instructed, and are on my bed.
Where am I going to sleep?
He apologizes and tells me that he just found out about the job today.
Fuck off!!!
I lost it.
I tell him that I've had this repair order in since JULY!
More apologies for the head of maintenance.
No!
I tell him that if he's not here by 1on Tuesday, then forget it.
As he's leaving, he says, "You should see the big mess I have to deal with up the street."
Dude, I don't care! I slam the door in his face.

My upper back is killing me. I don't know what I did, because it was fine when I woke up. It just keeps getting worse as the day goes on.
I've tried yoga, foam-rolling, and sitting in the shower with really hot water pounding it (our tub drain is fucked up so unfortunately, I can't actually soak in a bath). Nothing is helping.

Raise your hand if you're tired of me complaining about this.
Lol
He did come back yesterday, and pissed me off right away.
Tells me he is waiting for 2 more guys to help him remove the closet doors.
They arrive and the head of maintenance starts bitching and moaning about not having permission from the owners to remove the doors, and that he doesn't have the code for the storage area.
Omg!
Stop!!
I assure him that I have permission.
He then starts huffing and puffing that he needs to be 2 towns over in 12 minutes, and now he's going to be late.
Just DO THE JOB!!!!!
They remove all but 1 of my doors.
Ok. Whatever.
The 80 year old guy stays to repair my closet rod, and reinforce both brackets in each closet.
When it's done, get this...... He comments how I have so many beautiful hats, and suggests that I hang them on my bedroom wall for a display.
Omg!!!
As I'm getting my sage and wintergreen bundles out to sage the energy for after he leaves. He sticks his nose in it and comments on how much he loves the smell.
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!!
NOW!!

At&t and their crap internet service. I moved in to my new apartment on Tuesday and they're finally sending someone to fix it. I'm sad that I wasn't able to fix the issue myself since I've worked in a tech support capacity before but it's the service box that's installed on the wall. It's totally dead. They said they'll be here anytime between 12pm and 4pm and that pisses me off. This has been 3 days without Internet and my oldest and middle child are driving me nuts every day about the lack of internet. They have so many toys and books here but all they want is the computer and Roku, neither of which are useful without Internet.

My pissy bitchfests today...
Not having a routine. That changes today. I can't deal with the no-routine bullshit anymore.
My midsection. Time to start exercising again and really sticking to it.
The Maintenace people here. They are just pissing me off for some reason. Like I don't want to see their faces or hear them at all.
My hair. I hate how frizzy it feels when I use the waver, so I need to try braiding it into two big braids. Also mad at my extensions because they seem frizzy, but I haven't worn them enough times to pitch them (a week here one month, a week there another month). I'm hoping a gentle washing of the extensions helps (they haven't been washed; I currently have them hanging though).
My lack of makeup. I guess I need some new stuff, but I'll mostly be buying elf since it's cheap and doesn't bother my skin.
My husband's job for not releasing the work schedule yet. How can you be in the month of November and you still don't have a schedule out for that month???!

Love it when my mother flips out over the fact she found out I am "working" still. It absolutely infuriates me when people tell me to quit or get angry over the fact I need money.Hell I am forced to pay 3500 for this brand new fucking electrial circuit breaker I don't wanna replace. Like "OHHHH! So who is gonna pay my bills now? Were you going to? Oh and working as a dishwasher is NOT going to pay my bills nowadays. At all. TRUST."
Oh and top of it, one of my roommates has always been a spoiled bitch her entire life. And whenever the electrical breaks down she complains over everything and she doesn't realize all I have to go through and the cost and inconvenience it is for me. Like here I am pissed just a few months ago having to dole out 2k for electrical wires being replaced, frustrated how expensive it is (they're cutting me a massive deal still because they know I'm a student), the inconvenience it is to me having to do school work online with no electricity, and my roommate has the audacity to respond back "This electricity always goes out! Ughh" while I am apologizing profusely to her. But ohhhh get this, she lives pay check to pay check and twice she hasn't been able to afford the rent on time and I've been nothing but nice while I waited 4 days for her to pay.
I fucking hate people sometimes.

Yes I've gotten 2 bids and one said it spot on because it is a lot of work they have to do to replace everything. :(. This is just one of those payments in life where I just have to close my eyes, pay the bill, and never look back again lol.

Super grumpy the last 2 days.
-Got a flat tire on my way to class yesterday which made me late. I apologized to my professor but she clearly thought I was lying. Other students are perpetually late so I bet she hears that all the time... except I was telling the truth and have never been late before. whatever.
-Also, this professor has never given us feedback on our assignments before, so I was caught off guard when she sent me very harsh detailed feedback on my last assignment. Really bummed me out because I worked on this assignment for LITERALLY 14 hours. The other students I talked to only put it in a few hours, I'm not sure if they also got harsh feedback. Either way it just hurts, especially when I wasn't expecting to be critiqued at all.
-I put on my spare tire with the most difficult jack ever and drove it to a tire shop whose website said they had tires in my size in stock for $50. But when I get there, they said their cheapest tire was actually $112. I drive an old beater car and bought my current tires 5 years ago at Walmart for $33 each, but the closest Walmart auto center is 1-hour away and wasn't answering their phones and had recent google reviews that said they were understaffed and closed unexpectantly yesterday, so I didn't want to drive an hour on my spare tire just to find out they're closed. I called a bunch of other tire shops closer to me and they all quoted me $100+ so I just went ahead and did it. Just annoys me because this car is not worth that kind of money. If I replaced all 4 tires at that price it would equal literally the value of the car, not kidding.
-I'm starting keto again and I think the sugar/carb withdraws are really fucking with my mood. I'm mad at myself because in the summer I went keto and had fully kicked my cravings and I swear my taste buds changed and I didn't even like sugar that much anymore. but I fell off the wagon when family visited me and started eating bad again, and now I'm back at square 1 trying to battle my sugar addiction and it sucks.

They shut off the water from 9-5 twice last week. They did it again today. I was so mad when I found out a little bit ago, and made a comment about how at least last week, they warned us. My husband says, "Oh, they did send another letter about today. It's on the table."
Why the FUCK didn't you tell me!? 'It's on the table.' You mean the table that's perpetually full of mountains of your crap? How was I supposed to see that?
If he had told me, I would have gotten up earlier to take a shower instead of scrolling through TikTok from 8am. Hell, I might have just planned to go to work this morning if I knew they were going to be pounding and sawing away on shit all day again.
I’m just seeing this. Where I live it seems like they’re shutting off the water practically once a month, and it’s fucking annoying. People say “Just use the toilet, and then pour water down the toilet.” Yeah, no. Lol. When this happens, I end up taking the bus to my favorite grocery store, and just hanging out there for a while. And using the bathroom there to bathe myself…smh. I’m sick of these damn water turn-offs, and I’m sorry y’all are dealing with it too. I CANNOT let pee and/or poop just sit in my toilet all day, and people scoff at me like they think I’m stuck-up or something when I say that.

i remember I had to go to hospital and the nurse was handling bodily fluids like it was another day at the park. I would be so creeped out having to see, smell, and touch peoples bodily fluids/bed pans/ catheters etc. Even with gloves on.
I guess she was desensitized to it.
all I could think was “damn I hope she’s getting paid well to do this”
