I didn't see one, so I'll start.
I'm pissed. It's broiling in my apartment, so I decided to take a break from applying and hit up our pool. It's deserted of kids, it's quiet. Awesome. Find my old bathing suit (that is now too big on me), slathered up the sunscreen and opened my front door. Only to find a wooden slab in place in my doorway. They have barricaded me inside my apartment, rendering me unable to leave the house for ANY reason. These stupid stairs, I swear. They said it was a 3 day project....we're on day 10. I can't wait for this shit to end. So now I'm back in clothing, still slathered in sunscreen that has no purpose anymore, with a wooden slab in my doorway that's preventing me from leaving. There goes my blood donation as well.

I don't call because it's pointless. They're going to say that the notice states that I'm to be out of the house by 7:30 if I need to leave the home for any reason. The notice also stated it was going to take 3 days too. If there was fire, fuck their project. It's getting destroyed as I herd my cats out.
To be fair, I've posted about the project in other random postings, so this is just a notch up. It's own thread lol.
I'm just irritated that the one time I wanted to go swimming is the day they barricade the stairs. The past few days, they did one half of the stairs, leaving a walkway on the other half for us to get in and out. Today they're doing the whole thing. My neighbors across from us have left for the duration of the project as the woman who lives there is pregnant and the fumes can get quite strong.
On the other hand, I'm trying to get a Chia Pet (circa 1992) to grow. A nice, little side project.

I'm still a little confused, but if they told you to be out at a certain time, then it's your own fault.

It really is pointless to call. If I say "fuck it" and leave the house and cause damage to the project, I'm liable to cover those costs to repair said damage. They really covered their bases in their notice. I can handle one more day. But if it isn't completed by Monday, I'm going to be leaving some strongly worded messages about "time and inconvenience".

exactly why I don't call. It is my fault that I didn't get out by 7:30. However, if I left at 7:30, I have to stay away from my home until 4 pm. I thought they were going to do the halfsies like they've been doing the past few days, I guess they just wanted to take care of it all today.

These daily squats are starting to pay off. Today I caught a glimpse of my own butt in the mirror and had to do a double take because I was like "damn! Is that MY ass?!"

Yes, but their notice said three days. You're on day ten.
You should be calling. Maintenance at my apartment sucks. Which is why I call. Until I have a time and date they are coming, I call at least once a day, and if that doesn't work, I start stopping by the office. I used to be nice about it, but when I'm nice, repairs never get done. And when their repairs cause damage that I would be charged for when I move out, I document it, take photos, have the manager sign off on it with an acknowledgement that their workers did the damage, and have it added to my lease as well as a copy to my own files.

I find this to be a minor inconvenience to me more than anything. It's nothing to get my panties twisted up about, seriously. I don't think it's too much to ask that if we abide by their rules, they should've been able to abide by the scheduled time frame they posted. But it's construction, nothing ever gets done on time as is. I finally get the courage to put on a bathing suit for the first time in 7 years and the courage was for naught lol.
I don't know what to think of this post simply. I just...sigh. I want to believe you but this just seems terribly convientent for you to get attention or something. There is no way your apartment complex can say 'you must be out by 730 or your SOL. LULZ' Call the police if you're that pissed.
Lol above vent/response because I just got off the phone with the apartment office again. Our air conditioning isn't working, and no, office lady, it isn't because we haven't changed the air filter- I changed it on Monday.
