the job - week two

well. another week gone by. how was it you ask? well surprisingly uneventful, if you don't count the tenant who i had to call the police on due to the DENSE weed smoke billowing out of her apartment when i went there to verify that she was indeed still there (she's in the process of eviction, so i had to verify that she hadn't just up and left...wishful thinking).

anyway, so the cops showed up, and i escorted them to the apartment. they banged on the door and of course she was like "just a minute!". well nearly 10 minutes later she opens the door, and the hallway is flooded with the smells of weed and air freshener LOL. the cops just start laughing because it was so obvious. comedic dialog ensues..."i'm not smoking weed!" "we can smell it. it's like you smoked a tree in there!" "i wasn't smoking anything." "is there someone else in there that could have possibly smoked it?" "umm..uh...no" "is there someone else in there?" "um...yes, my boyfriend" "could he have smoked the weed?" "i just woke up" "could he have smoked it when you were asleep?" "no." "how do you know? weren't you asleep?" "i'm not saying i don't smoke weed. but i haven't smoked any today!" etc. etc.

after about 15 minutes of that entertaining banter, the cops basically called her an unfit mother and told her that they could call child protective services and have her kids taken. i swear she didn't even blink. couldn't have fazed her any less. taking those kids probably would have been the best thing in those kids lives. but i digress.. suffice to say that the cops didn't take the kids or the chick. but now its logged as a drug related call, and after 3 or so of those, the cops can enter without a warrant and search/arrest.

about an hour after the cops left, guess who comes down to my office? the weed chick. i'm surprised she didnt bring her boyfriend with her. LOL she's comes in all pissy (meaning her attitude, but she did also have a strong odor going on too, something like old sex and wet dog), and says "i feel like i'm being harassed!". i just looked at her. "you guys are already putting me out, now you trying to send me to jail!". I was like, i'm not trying to do anything but to make you stop smoking dope in my building. if you'd stop, you wouldn't have anything to worry about right? she's like "right. i know.", so i said "then we are done here. have a nice day." and she left. LOL clueless...

on a lighter (and better smelling) note, the company let the housekeeping guy go, so now am i not only running the office, but i have to do the housekeeping, light maintenance, and yard work. Kinda sucks. But I figure I'm earning brownie points to a permanent job offer. which my boss kinda sorta felt me out for this week also. but more on that later..

i am soooo friggin sick of snow! twice this week i found myself outside digging thru drifts of the accursed crap so that my tenants could walk safely to their vehicles. my days of manual labor are soooooooo behind me. it kills my back and knees. so we'll see how long i can put up with it.

on to week 3....
