aw jeez!! its thursday already!! feels like wednesday!! Mt. Clothesalot has got to go!! the rustic looking cat littered bathroom floor has to be swept up! rug needs vaccuming!! floors mopped!! windows washed!! here in the flophouse and in the common area! air freshener needs to be applied!
phone news:
the fone rang at 10 last night, and im thinking of course, who the hell is that? i didnt reconise the number, but i decided to answer it anyhoo; turns out it was the lady who gave the kitties to my neighbour jason. i was wondering whilst she was rambling how she got my number. then i remembered caller i.d.!! agggg!!
well, she has a 2 yr. old cat up for grabs, and wanted to know if i can ask around here to see if any 1 wanted the cat. hmmmm. gimme a minute and we will analize this, folks!
so, shes enquiring as to how joshua is, and im thinking to myself, whos joshua, and i realise that she is talking about zipper! um. zipper is doing just swell, all along im going, yea yea yea while she is rambling along, half listening to this husky, alcohol induced voice at 10 past 10 at night; now, i have to reassure her that all is well with the kitties, and they are happy, which, they are! so again, i say thank you, and i will enquire as to if any 1 around here wants a 2 yr old cat!! thank gad im getting a company fone tomorrow, im thinking, and mercifully, this call ends. (more on the company fone below)
so, now, lets analize this. who here has the were with all to care properly for a 2 yr. old cat?
apt A: minnie.. zipper origonally went to minnie, after a coupla days, she came to me and asked me to take zipper; she cant handle him. so minnie's out.
apt B: deaf guy.. he drinks too much.
apt C: the falconer... well, he has a falcon!! thats enuff!
apt D: computer stupid guy.. he has 2 pet rats he keeps.. cat is not going there!! hehehee.
apt E: govt. paranoid guy.. hes just too quiet, and believes that the govt. is conspiring against him, hes stockpiling for the 2nd coming!!!
apt F: new tenant who dont like visitor rules.. well, i dont think this guy is stable enuff.
apt G: Kenny the drunk.. enuff said
apt H: this guy is medicated too much, sleeps all the time. hordes food.
apt I: Larry the 9 yr old.. too unstable and too much junk in his apt..
apt J: Mark the Mormon.. hes too strange.. when ya knock on his door, sometimes hes too scared to open it..
apt. K: Ron. too much a slob and occasional drunk.
apt L: Kerry the 6 yr old girl. she dont know what day it is 1/2 the time. poor thing hallucinates too much.
apt M: jimmy. has a cat already. charlie hisses at other cats.
apt N: tom. never home works too much. gets drunk and argues with the wall.
apt P: jason (not fat jason) has the other kitty.
well, that takes care of that. what a motley crue here i have. like i say, im glad im getting a company fone today, and i will have to ask jason later on if he told this gal where he lived; i hope not. im getting the strong impression from last nights fone call that this gal will attempt to ask for the cats back. just a feeling i got from the tone and influxations in her voice. influxations? hmmm.. anyway. my spidey sense is tingling, and she sounds like potential trouble. calling at 10 pm at night!!!! i am not accustomed to that at all!!
bip, doyles boss (hahahhaa) called me last night at 5 pm, and told me he has a new phone for me, and went on to tell me what plan i will be on, and that its a nice fone with a nifty leather case, and instruction booklet, and will 400 minutes a month be enuff? i said yes, bip. that will be fine; and he goes on to ask if im on the fone for hours at a time, and if i make a lot of long distance fone calls (like a teen!!! sheesh) hopefully i assured him that i dont do that, and reminded him that 99% of my calls are work related; so, he says, well, ok, he will give the fone to doyle and doyle will give it to me, then i can shut off my fone, ok? ok!! thanks bip.
let me see if i can explain bip. hmmm...
bip is "in charge of the property managers" and according to doyle, is highly incompetent; the peter principal applies here; see, when property managers need to get things done for thier properties, they need to goto bip, who, in his incoherent way of communication, will screw things up and frustrate you will his babble speak. when doyle needs something done, he goes to mary jane, who is bips boss. that way things get done properly. bip fakes it til he makes it, but he will never make it, and all the managers know this, he takes dazzle em with brilliance, baffle em with bullshit to a whole new level. in actuality, yesterdays conversation with bip, i had to convince him that i will not abuse the privilege of having a company fone; even though i have been working here almost 2 years, i havent had much contact with him, i work and deal with doyle. doyle has been getting me to have more contact with him, because, he is unfortunately in charge of the managers, and if bip can see thru his incompetent foggy brain that i am just as good as doyle, perhaps that will help me in the future when the time comes for doyle to retire, and i will need to become a manager in my own right. i know how to talk to bip. so this shouldnt be a problem. time will tell.
