Can't help with the fashion tips. Or the cat urine. Or the tenants. Sorry.
Good luck with the new job, Vortex.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Best of luck to you both, Vortex and Nora.

you know, the roads are really icy tonight. If someone were to have a nasty accident, probably no one would investigate.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, Nora. That sucks. Unfortunately, I have no constructive advice, only sympathy.
Go, Vortex!! Good luck at the new job!
Steph, I can't access the pic of your corset at work, but I really like that skirt. For me, my only concern would be the length of the skirt. It would go to my ankles and I'm not sure how flattering that would be on me, but you are taller than me.

Good luck, Vortex. I hope the devil you don't know turns out to be better than the devil you know.
