Skullduggery Part 2

Thursday was me, indoors, accomplishing nothing of significance. I had errands to run but didn’t, because I’d opted to believe rain in the virtual world over the real world predicting not.
The weather that day was dark and gloomy, but it did not rain.
Oh well.
Friday was driving out-of-the-area to Trader Joe’s to replenish my supply of pink Himalayan salt.
Salt is salt, but the Himalayan Crystals are supposedly rich in minerals, better for the body than iodized sea salt, beneficial in strengthening bones, lowering blood pressure and detoxifying the body of toxins.
Though I made the switch from iodized salt to Himalayan Crystals in March of last year, I can’t attest to any of these claims as being true because I can’t say if the benefits I’ve experienced to my overall health is due to the crystals or because of clean eating, but I like the subtle flavor enough to drive miles for a bottle, plus I like that the salt crystals are so pretty.



At any rate, heading out to Trader Joe’s, I took the long way to the car – detouring by the boxes to pick up mail and through the Community Room to see if anything new has been posted to the board.
Nothing new, but I did run into Apache who said he’d just been to the office to leave yet more documentation for Corporate Boss Lady, relative to getting the pit bull off the property, and was told “she is no longer with us”.
WHAT?!
That’s huge!
The second biggest shocker since the former Community Manager – that mean cruel Nurse Ratched was fired by way of being escorted out of her office, off the property and into the waiting arms of police officers.
Did Corporate Boss Lady quit?
Not bloody likely. Not the woman whose position was so powerful that the mere mention of her name by residents would cause office staff to shake in their boots, Head Maintenance Guy to get off his lazy behind and begrudgingly do his job.
Was Corporate Boss Lady fired?
For sure.
Another casualty of whatever it was that went wrong with that government super bowl of inspections.
Inasmuch as the re-inspection is coming up, I’d been wondering why I’d not seen her hovering around.
Wowwee wow!
General consensus is more heads will roll, as foreseen by The Seer when she had that image of dominos falling, because though repairs to the H Building have been made, the re-inspectors want to look at not only units but also garages.
That’s a problem.
I can’t remember the last time I saw a garage around here with an actual car in it. Mostly, the garages are packed floor to ceiling with items residents were unwilling to give up when they downsized from 3/4/5-bedroom houses to these senior units.
Not only are the garages full of boxed items, but I’ve seen washers, dryers, stoves, refrigerators, lamps, couches, rugs, wall décor, etc. So much stuff that it’s futile for residents to try to find anything because, when they open the garage door, they’re faced with an impenetrable wall of stuff.
Community Manager will be returning from her suspension on Monday and it looks like her first duty will be to address the garage situation because a notice was posted to our doors that “If you have a garage, your presence is require (sic) at the Leasing Office on Monday 4/23 between 2pm-4pm” ... “Prior to the apartment visit, we will be conducting a garage inspection on April 24th between 9am – 4pm”.
Not much time to correct what looks to be a substantial roadblock to passing the re-inspection.
