The Last Hours

This has been somewhat a bit of a week

This was so unplanned and sudden. And it seems it was a bit much
but considerably I understand the protection of “job environment”.

I had to be mature enough to look at the full picture despite
knowing the venues in which “IT“ can spread about so many people……
what are the odds it me?
However, I was the only known case……verbally speaking…….and how it
went from one person to another to another….. to…. “I rather not
have you come in”.
But I get it.

And I would feel awful! I mean it’s the “right” thing to do. Why
would I want to be responsible for THAT!

So…. I’m at home to get it resolved. Fine…. Where do I start.

I started with the landlord…… who looked as if he was going to faint
…….. it was kinda sad, really……… it was more the worried look…
of how is he going to fix…… I learned today he seems to think the
worse….. and at his age….. I can see why… It took 2 days to fix one
screen. They struggle to get up the stairs. They don’t want my
help I can see out of pride. But I don’t mind learning how to fix
things around the apartment building. As Jonah gets older, he will
have to help them with small duties. Phil has gout.
Fran is old school and lets him be the man. She ‘s so much more
quick witt than him. Its sad. They are good decent people.

I hope they don’t think I’m a troublemaker now. I hated to have to
be so consistent to them and more aggressive than I wanted to be
with my neighbor.

But she deserved a lot more.

I’m the one getting bites. I’m the one not sleeping. Over 4
months. They new they had them for 2 years and didn’t say
anything. Me thinking its spiders for so long and it
was “something” we could have been doing scheduled cleaning and
prevention…. Say something! Its not like its 30 units. Its only 2…
so we should try to lean towards the part of looking out for each
other. She may have not like that I was optioning for them to help
pay a lil. But no one wanted Phil to have to pay although the
landlord… they just had a death in family and they are retired and
getting very ill. I think Lorena feels the same way. Plus for him
not to raise the rent…. But I will pay an extra for bug
extermination at this point. I cant live with bugs and we cant move
right now. I know this would have been an extra bill for everyone.
1700 was the most I heard for both apartments. I see too how they
push contracts to people without even determining what is in your
house and try to force you into “treatments” and without doing a
thorough job even looking.

I hated that guys saying”…. “I have a trained eye for these kinds of
things”…..

WHO TALKS LIKE THAT? That was Terminex.

He said Roaches and Ticks. I know ticks get into your skin. And my
mom couldn’t do roaches. Neither could I but we have NEVER seen a
roach here in 10 years. Not a baby.
Of course he quoted $270.00 a month. I don’t know what I would have
done if Phil had a head ache right then and there.


2nd guy seemed reasonable. He listened to…. And gave this
opionion. He at least took out drawers and spent time in both
apartments. And he genuinely said “No” bedbugs to both apartments.

But the 3rd guy… who wasn’t even supposed to come had a passion for
bugs. He was surprised at my researched, confirmed my doubts. And
gosh “thorough”……I didn’t know when he was going to leave. He
banged furniture, I wouldn’t be surprised if he flipped the
mattress. Argued ink or blood…… For no money at all.

So that is 3 NO’s on bedbugs anyway. I finally feel a lil
relieved. I don’t know if I’m ready to take down my double duck
tape w/Vaseline barricade yet though.

And I cant believe Lorena.

I cant schedule with you someone to inspect the apartment between 2 –
5 because we are taking our naps and we rather be there when the
landlord is there.

I guess schedule was the hard part and I wanted word soon so my job
wouldn’t think I was milking this “at home” time. Because it was
more stressful having to clean everything, put in plastic bags,
spray, work, … I’m so tired and I have no energy.
Poor Jonah neglected….. we haven’t even STARTED on his homework for
this week. I might have Jonah go without me on Sunday……. I can
walking and clean the house so Sunday get to work early to see what
ive been missing. Its not good to work from home so many days in a
row.
