Laundry

For what seems like the thousandth time (but is more like the eighth) the laundry facilities in my apartment building don't work. And every time they break, they seem to get even worse. I'm tired of not being able to rely on the provided facilities to get my clothes clean. I don't have a car so it isn't like going to a laundromat is the easiest of options. I guess if I had to I could just walk there but dammit, the point is that if they provide a washer and dryer for the apartments, they should make sure they work. And if they don't work, they should be right on the ball to fix them. I fucking hate Bell Realty. They are completely unresponsive to tenants' needs. I had to sign a huge stack of paperwork and initial each restrictive clause in my rental agreement but when it comes to their responsibilites to me they seem to have better things to do. I guess that's what happens when the entire place is staffed by orange skinned, big haired high school dropouts.

When I moved into my apartment, my former property manager made a big deal about putting a lithium battery in the smoke detector. She said that it would last ten years or something like that. Then she said that I'd have to replace it with another lithium battery if the provided one ever expired. Well, not that long ago it did. Odd, I thought, but then when I looked at the battery it was all scratched up and obviously worn. Those motherfucking assholes gave me an old battery. That's so ridiculous. Bell Realty in Eugene is run by a bunch of crooks who don't care about tenants. I hate renting in a college town.
