186 Days Later

From this ……

Finally, to this ………

It’s amazing what can be accomplished, and how fast it can be accomplished, with a little motivation behind it.

Motivation in this case being the upcoming May Day re-inspection.

Color me suspicious, but the repairs were put together so quickly (2/3 days) that I’m suspicious as to it being a flim flam job -- glue, duct tape, paint.

Guess we’ll know how structurally sound this is when we have our next earthquake but, according to the date calculator, the total time span from accident to repairs (October 15, 2017 to April 18, 2018), whether you look at it as 186 days, or 6 months 3 days or 26 weeks 4 days or 4,440 hours or 266,400 minutes is a long time to get around to it.

General consensus is it’s the reason why Community Manager was suspended for 30 days.

She did say, in a Residents/Management meeting some time back, that the repairs are “expensive”. She also said in that meeting she was proud of having come in under budget.

Putting the two statements together, and the haste to get the repairs taken care of before the re-inspection, I can only assume this trying to come in under budget, at the expense of holding off on repairs, got her in trouble with either Corporate or there was mention of the unrepairs in that super bowl of inspections which alerted Corporate and got her in trouble.

Oh well, all’s well that ends well.

On another topic, thanks to the magic of the internet, it was way easy to learn I am not the oldest Pokémon GO trainer.

There’s an 84-year old hunter in Singapore, and one my age (a 74-year old) on Facebook who is purported to have reached the highest level.

I’m just now learning how to throw curve balls, not yet gutsy enough to step up my game and learn to battle.

On tap for today was to have been errands. However, when I loaded up the game this morning to check the area, it shows rain in the virtual world.

Not so in the real world.

I’m putting my trust in the virtual world and leaving errands off to another day.
