Morning Interruption...

Let me preface everything with the fact that things have been hella crazed for the past few weeks (as y'all know). So, last night, I finally go to sleep and this morning I was having the most *amazing* dream and *BOOM* I hear someone on patio. It was one of those dreams where you wake up and go "what the ????". Have you ever tried to go back to a really good dream - yeah, it's not happening.

So I look at the TV and notice that it's not working. I go to change a channel and find that there is "no satellite signal". Oh hell to the no! I quickly get dressed, trying to not look so crazed, grab the phone and go out on the porch. Everything is taped and I guess that the painting company who was supposed to be done in 2 weeks decided that on my first real Saturday that I had to relax, they were going to PAINT MY DAMN APARTMENT EXTERIOR. And, you know what - they were on break when I happened to go out there (really it seems like they are perpetually "on a break"). So, I pace back and forth, go back inside - call the office - no answer, go back outside and the ladder is still there resting against my balcony with no painter guy.

Then I spot Mr. Where's Waldo looking at the landscape and it goes a bit like this:

Lys: Excuse Me? Hello. Sir??
Waldo (Ignores)
Lys: HELLO - SIR!!!
Waldo: (Ignores still)
Lys: EXCUSE ME - YOU!!!
Waldo: YES?? (with a touch of annoyance)
Lys: You are NOT painting on my porch today
Waldo: Yes I am
Lys: NO, you are not. Oh - did you move my satellite?
Waldo: Yes
Lys: YOU DID NOT HAVE AUTHORIZATION TO TOUCH MY DAMN SATELLITE! I DON'T MEAN TO BE MEAN BUT YOU ARE NOT PAINTING UP HERE TODAY - DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
Waldo: Yes

I stomp off the porch, slam the door and have a 20 minute conversation with the apartment complex manager who told me a few things about the painting subcontractor and her and I ironed out a few things. I even told her about the crappy job that the subcontractor is doing on all our buildings. If I'm paying almost $1000 in rent, they best do it right the first time, IMO. I told her that they are NOT to come near my apartment today, at all. And, if they even try to paint up here today, I'm letting the cat attack.

*growl*
