the reality of living in an apartment
Transcript
the reality of living in an apartment is all fun and games until you're getting ready for the day, you're getting dressed to go to the office and after a 30 minute commute, you put your stuff down and you're ready for your in office work day. And then you get a call from your leasing office from your apartment and they're like, hey, um, maintenance is actually going to need to come back today. But the thing is, maintenance has been there three times this week. One time at 5:30 AM on a Sunday and they've already confirmed that the problem with the leak is not coming from your apartment. But again, plumbers need to come back today and confirm that for a fourth time, just to make sure. Okay, but we also do not have a time frame on when they're going to be here. And even though I have told them that I do not feel comfortable with them being in my apartment when my husband and I are not here, you cannot give me a time frame on when they're going to be here. So now I can't just wait around. I have to drive home and be there for when the plumbers are going to be here. It's not convenient.
