PSA for today

I know my power as an apartment manager exceeds that of most other mortal humans, but no. I do not have control over the postal service. If you put in a request for your mail to be forwarded to this complex and you're not yet receiving it, it is not, and I repeat NOT my responsibility. Contrary to popular belief, I do not have an "in" with the United States Postal Service and cannot discuss your personal matter with them.

I really should be giving IQ tests to new tenants rather than a credit check.

you totally should!

"please complete this simple spelling test for me." should be good enough.

Wow.

Just...wow.

Seriously?

Wow.

Clearly not smarter than a fifth grader, these new tenants.

See how speechless I am? I made a lame pop culture reference.

When I worked for a certain major credit card company, we joked that one of the application questions should be "Do you listen to Cypress Hill?" because every year in the auction where they sold items seized from fraudulent accounts there were about 65 Cypress Hill albums.

Holy run on sentence.

I heard you've been dealing with tough tenants. That sucks. Every time I hear about your job I think "There's no way our BFF could have done that job..." haha!

I've been in your place before, and I totally know what you're talking about! Sometimes it's just hard to believe.

Don't worry, Sheri. I'm sure there's something in Obama's 1,000 page $timulu$ bill that will solve this type of stupidity. (Either that or give it a free pass in life altogether). Next time just give him the number to the white house.

Wow. Do you possible have an "in" with the IRS, then? I'd like my tax money ASAP, please.

I was laid off from being an apartment manager a year ago. You have my complete and utter sympathy. If you ever want to commiserate, feel free to email me.
