Lunatic Fringe!

by The Philosophical Fish

What a frustrating day. Pretty much everything went exactly opposite to plan today, although I love my Mac even more because my music drive died today but Time Machine had everything safely backed up and all I had to do was restore 30,000mp3 files! Piece of cake!

On the other hand, a lunatic Realtor threatened to report me to the RCMP for harassment! Cool! I’ve never met her or ever spoken to her before!

We have a unit for sale in our building, it’s about the worst little apartment ever, has the most frightening decor. The bedroom is purple with maroon silk bedding!

Anyway, the unit has been up for sale since the beginning of the year. He’s changed agents at least once, but the current one is a nut case. The for sale sign fell over weeks ago and has been lying in the bushes at the front of the building. I finally remembered to send her a message last night and asked that she either deal with the sign or someone would throw it in the garbage. I got a response this morning. She threatened to report me to the RCMP for harassment and that she would claim I was responsible for any signs that go missing in the area. Huh? How does that work?

Whatever. She’s obviously been by since the sign is at least upright again, but it isn’t even stuck in the ground, it’s merely propped up against the gas meter so the first gust of wind will probably send it to the ground again.

I don’t get it. We set a bylaw for the building years ago that simply sates….no signs on the property. Simple, straightforward, can’t really be misinterpreted. A few years ago the woman across the hall petitioned to have a sign posted. No one argued since no one liked her. Easy decision. Then another person did the same about a year ago…again, same basic decision, no one likes her and we all dreamed she would leave finally…why put any obstacles in her way? Now we have another sign. What is the point of a bylaw if everyone wants it to apply to everyone except themselves?

I love living in a Strata complex……

Now, just to cap the day off, Milo peed in his bed…he was looking right at me when he did it….I just don’t understand. We were doing so well too!
