1001 OTHER PEOPLE Chupatintas THE BASICS |
Thursday, Mar. 20, 2003 - 7:40 p.m. There's a light out, and it's not just in the houseOH, this is a good one. Just called the landlord. Gilbert, I don't know if any of the other residents have called about this [Very doubtful.], but I wanted to let you know that there is no bulb in the light on the first landing when you come into the house. GILBERT: ME: GILBERT: ME: GILBERT: ME: GILBERT: ME: GILBERT: You know, honestly, I think we'd have some sort of formal -- if not legal -- gripe with this, seeing as how he went and removed the light bulb without telling anyone or explaining why. First and foremost, it is a safety hazard, seeing as how the indoor lights are now 0-for-2 on operational capabilities (the one on the second-floor landing, outside our door, has been out for months, and I'm not sure if there's a bulb there or not. I just haven't mentioned it to Gilbert because Succubus upstairs would just leave it on all the time anyway and have it burn out again in two weeks like this one did). And she's gotta be the culprit here, perhaps in cahoots with Jo and the two kids and the dirty boyfriend downstairs, because I hear her coming and going at all times of the night, and I'm sure she's not thinking about things like the electric bill, even if she's not paying it. Especially if she's not paying it. Anyway, the first-floor light was out last night, but Casey and I both got home while it was still light outside and didn't think to call right away. I meant to call this afternoon after I got back to work after taking Casey to the train, but I forgot, naturally, what with all the basketball and chatting with Lauren about basketball. I'm glad I did call now. Boy, Casey's going to love this one when she gets home.
