renjifan Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 It’s currently raining, so water went everywhere. I’ve reached out to both maintenance and the property manger with no response from either. They had sent an email yesterday that they’d only be servicing emergency orders due to the viral outbreak. I mean, I feel like the ceiling falling in on your tenants kind of seems like an emergency, but what do I know? 😐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vamped Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 The only thing that falls out of our ceiling and walls is very tiny lizards. Im usually in charge of scooping them up and letting them loose outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortedreasoning Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 usually a proper response to something like this would be clearing off the area, containment, blocking the area, and finally repair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally took them hours to get there and work on it. By that time, he not only had to clean up the one that had already fallen, but now has to replace at least 4 other tiles that have water damage. He said he'd have to come back and finish because the tiles are custom? I'm not sure...all I know is that we currently have several holes in our ceiling at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that would make sense to me. But I guess their protocol is to wait hours to send someone... Our maintenance guy is super nice, and I get they are operating differently right now with the virus stuff going on, but I feel like water damage is kind of a big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they were going to contact the roofing people last spring when the rain did this to our ceiling, but I don't think that ever happened. We had to cover our computers and copiers. The building even had to replace a couple of keyboards because tiles collapsed over staff's cubicles. Lol...you know what's funny? We're actually a personal injury law firm... 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a whole asshole since my grandma died. He has the ability to get up and move himself to the old people toilet, instead he will sit there and look you in the eye and poop and then expect you to clean it up. He refuses to wash himself, wont give consent to live in a nursing home THEN when we finally got some home health care .... this bitch wont eat food if they don't provide him a young attractive CNA/Nurse/ physical therapist/ social worker that he can sexually harass and act like he's getting off when they go to change his pamper. The company home health aide company is on its last placement. They said they dont have any male personnel to send so they have been sending (this is awkward to say) very masculine women or very old women. The VA has realized how he is and his social worker and physical therapist have been replaced with men. He says we owe him all of this. We are tired. Even the miniature told him .... you need to get on the pot, its easy. Edited March 19, 2020 by Vamped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never used it though....I mean I was 20 and was living with a girl who was sick of my shit (figuratively) so I wasn't going to ask her to do anything for me so I went to the regular bathroom and screamed in pain as I wiped my ass.

Since Illinois implemented a Shelter in Place order, they thought Iowa might be next. So they decided to only keep a few staff members on board for now. They're supposed to contact us if/when we can come back to work, but for now, we all have to file for unemployment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
