Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

OMG, this landlording thing is killing me. One of the tenants is still living there, there was some sort of domestic incident so that the babydaddy isn't there anymore. She's been totally unreachable for months, and when some extra money was dangled in front of her, got back in touch with me and hasn't connected with the property manager.

Now, the property manager has no tolerance for her shenanigans, which is annoying for me because I get a zillion texts and emails and calls. The babydaddy got in touch and was super nice but there's not much he can do, it seems.

Now I get a letter from my condo neighbor's lawyer, and I just do not know what to do.

So, I'm transferring over to the law school to start a new job there. It would be a good thing, except that the dean has a habit of making promises that he can't/doesn't keep. One circle of hell to another, basically. Oh, well, at least I'm employed.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Good luck on the job change, Vortex.

Nora, that is a very stressful situation. I wish I had something more useful to say.

Ugh, Nora. Good luck, that's totally stressful.

Can't help with the fashion tips. Or the cat urine. Or the tenants. Sorry.

Good luck with the new job, Vortex.

Ugh, Nora.

Good luck, Vortex! What is the new job? Goodness, I wish I could get you in front of our Dean for a job, because she'd love you. I even have one in mind if the total screw-up who has it now would just . . . leave.

Yeah, I just don't know what to do. It's a mess.

I don't know if the property managers are in fact dropping the ball or if my tenants and neighbors are crazy (which I'm quite willing to believe.) I just don't know how to exert any influence on the situation given the craziness of the stakeholders and the very strong tenants laws in MA.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Isn't the point of a property manager that you don't get all those emails and calls? Man.

I wish I had anything constructive to offer.

Good luck, Vortex.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Good luck, Vortex. Sometimes, a different hell can be tolerable for a while just because the worn-out pressure points are getting some relief.

Can you look into getting a new property manager, Nora? gah, that must be so stressful!
