Reader’s Digest version … I fell out of lust, met the new neighbor, got some of the Lab work the doctor wanted done.
Unabridged version … Returning from this morning's workout, I ran into, introduced myself, and welcomed the new neighbor to the quad.
Learned, she’s not exactly new, but has been living on the opposite side of the complex for a year.
Management asked her to move over here, because the unit she’d been living in was designated a handicap unit …… no one who isn’t disabled should have been living there.
I didn’t know we had special units built for handicapped individuals which, I understand have "wider doorways, low cabinets, accessible bathrooms" etc., but if no one who is not handicapped should have been living there, then why did management lease the unit to her in the first place?
She says management told her she had to move because the unit had been requested by someone who is disabled, but my spidey sense is telling me management got caught when we had that last inspection.
At any rate, new neighbor said she's happy to move, because she didn’t like the low cabinets and that some of the features, she's accustomed to, were missing in order to make the unit accessible for people with disabilities.
I haven’t run into Silver Fox since the day he talked me out of being physically attracted to him, opened my eyes to what would be the side effects of ingesting yummy looking eye candy, so my jets have cooled. As Bob, put it …… "Not as pretty when it speaks." LOL.
As I was walking to check out the board in the Community Room the other day, I did see him driving, like a bat out of hell, back into the complex.
He was really gunning it, going way beyond the 10 mph speed limit, as he burned into the driveway, flew through the open gate, swooped into his parking spot.
He even drives angry, thought I, and reflected on what would have happened had someone been walking across the parking lot, as I hurriedly disappeared before he exited the car and saw me.
Everything about Silver Fox reads as angry which, in a way, is rather exciting. Made me think about how fun he must have been when younger …… a real Bad Boy, rough but fun. I also reflected on what the grapevine was saying about him before I became aware of who he was. That "He's really handsome, but sooo mean".
I can definitely see it now and ain't nobody got time for a moody, angry, aging Bad Boy.
On Thursday, I got the bloodwork portion of what the doctor wanted done, but the Lab gave me homework the doctor wanted me to submit for testing, within 1 to 2 hours after performing the homework.
It’s an impossible task, so she’ll have to be satisfied with the bloodwork which, if I’m reading correctly, indicates my Cholesterol is off the charts and may be the source of the high BP and dizzy spells.
Oh well.
Monday being Memorial Day, a 3-day weekend would be in order were I in the working world. I’m retired, but the Pain Cave workouts are like having a job with an employer that doesn’t recognize holidays, allows no days off.
Trainer will be working on Monday, so it will be a regular Monday for me; except, the bingo regulars are having a BBQ in the patio area later that afternoon.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, I plan to check it out for a bit.
Clearly if the unit had wider doors, lower cabinets etc, they had to know it was for a disabled person. I smell shenanigans.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely shenanigans, but why did she accept it for a year. She doesn't appear the desperate for housing type.
DeleteBad Boys are Bad News. So are Bad Girls.
ReplyDeleteBad Boys are not as bad as they think they are. Easily chopped down to size by strong, independent women. Women that know their own worth. That Bad Boy persona only works on desperate and/or weak-willed women. I don't know about Bad Girls, but strongly suspect I may be one, LOL.
DeleteGlad the Flying Fox didn't run over you! I think some places will rent to an able bodied person into a handicap unit if they pay regular money instead of the lesser amount of subsidized money, and a normal unit wasn't available at the time. Might need a rerun of your labs, or interpretation by the doc. You eat and work out so well, how can cholesterol be off? The doc can help you better if you complete their homework. Yep.

ReplyDeleteThe Tempter came in a good disguise this time, but I managed to get around it. That makes sense about putting able bodied into a handicapped unit for more money. Management and Corporate does seem to be motivated by money. My cholesterol may be so bad because of my gut issues not allowing me to eat as healthy as I'd like. I eat what I can digest and, unfortunately, that includes a lot of eggs. I may have to force myself to toss the yokes, eat only the whites. That homework is an impossible task. I don't see how anyone, not hospitalized, can complete the task.
DeleteManagement there is clearly Miss Management.
ReplyDeleteMean cancels out Handsome.
What the ladies saw as "mean" is probably his constant state of anger.
DeleteBack when my husband was a live---12 years ago---by law all apartment complexes over a certain number of units had to have 20% of them handicap accessible. The year we built our wheelchair accessible house we lived in a complex, in a unit that wasn't wheelchair accessible and the unit next door was but the women living there was not disabled in any way. We had to have the doors to the bedroom and bathroom removed so Don could get through them. The management didn't care who they rented to those accessible apartments to. Not right!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing they didn't have Inspectors come through to make management enforce the law.
DeleteI wonder why he is so angry all the time.
ReplyDeleteSounds like manager got caught renting the disabled apartment to someone they weren't supposed to.
He probably has control issues and may be angry that his life hasn't turned out as he expected, that he's landed here with a bunch of low-income seniors. Next Door Neighbor, coming from travelling the world with her Military Officer husband, having servants and a high job position with staff at her beck and call, went through that same anger that this is where life has taken her, that we're so dull here compared to the exciting life she previously lived. Both Silver Fox and Next-Door Neighbor are also both political news junkies, which isn't helping them to stay calm and centered. The two should meet. I think they'd be a good match, can be angry together, LOL.
DeleteGlad they're working on what's causing your dizzy spells. As for Silver Fox, Angry and Mean is never a good combo even if it's packaged pretty. To me Angry and Mean makes a person Ugly no matter how Physically attractive they initially were. Glad the Lustfest has Cooled, winks. As for that Unit... it sure was an inconvenience and an expense to the Tenant to be given an inappropriate Unit and then be forced to leave it and move to another. But, I'm glad she is happy with the change and prefers her new Unit, so it worked out well in the end for her. I've of made them pay for the Move at least, since it was their faux pas Renting it to her knowing they were violating the conditions and she wasn't Handicapped. Bet they did get busted for it during the Inspection.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't the first time a resident was asked to move to a different unit. Before it was so management could use the two units above the office for staff. Neither of those times did management pay for the move, help with the move or give a break on the rent. I doubt new neighbor was treated any different but, when next we talk, I'm going to ask.
DeleteBad Boys are over-rated. Have a nice long weekend -- hope you get some good tea at your BBQ!
ReplyDeleteI hope to at least get to see who the Trash Tosser is and if she's still tossing.
DeleteHappy 3-day weekend, Shirl!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, very funny my friend.
DeleteShirley, you're not bad, you're badass LOL! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteLOL. That does sound more like the kind of bad I am, LOL.
