They came today

by NicoleB Email

After not coming, like promised, on Thursday and me stepping on Mr. Accountants feet yesterday, THEY showed up today.
Unannounced. What else.
I mean, come on, women over here don’t do nothing and doing a tour for nothing, if someone really isn’t there is good, no? Less work *shrug* who cares (they say).

Anyhow, after telling Mr. accountant yesterday to give me an advance notice, I actually didn’t want to open the door. My house was a major disaster area, I was in the middle of laundry and not in the mood for more mess thanks to their “cleaning".

After Mr. Boss Harris called me though, I opened the door and let them in.
The same two guys like last week, with a ladder and a Backpack and a piece of Paper Towels.
Yes.
Paper Towels.
No machine.

First of I asked, where the machine is.
No machine.
One of them was holding the ladder, the other one started wiping the AC thing.
I’m like “THAT’s gonna be IT?!”
“Yes”

I’m like “And you think, that’s gonna do any good? And why the heck could you NOT do that last week?!” |-|

I just left them there, they discussed for a while and I went back in and told them to just keep working, so they might be out of my eyesight soon.

Mr. Boss Harris saved the day, by letting them take of those things and cleaning them, once again in my bathroom, with my sponge and soap.
But hey, at least he did clean them.

Maybe I’m just a bitch, but the way people work over here and get away with it amazes me ever and ever again.
:crazy:


(This is what those things looked like, actually it was much worse than it looks here)

Air conditioning adventures

These people here never cease to amaze me.
Especially in regards to technique.

Today I had the guys here that fix and clean ACs.
They cleaned the main filter, left a big mess as usual.

Regarding my question if they clean the outlets in the single rooms, I get a “No".
Why does that not surprise me?!

After they left I went downstairs to my friend the accountant.
There they are, three guys sitting on Couch and chair, doing smalltalk.
It’s close to prayer time and Lunch break.

Me: Hi, who usually does the cleaning of the AC in the single rooms?
Mr. accountant: Huh?
Mr. accountant 2 (one that I didn’t particularly liked up to today, but hey, one can change her mind, no ;) ): The guys from the AC company, they just have been here.
Me: Really?! I know, they told me, they don’t do that.
Mr. a2: We send them back up.

OK, back up I go and wait.
In comes Mr. Boss Harris (the guys that take care of all kinds of stuff in this complex) and the Harris from our tower. Both nice guys.
They tell me the company already left and Mr. tower Harris would clean the fans.
Really?

We walk around and it dawns on them that I really mean ALL OF THEM and that THEY ARE DIRTY.
Anyhow.
Mr. Boss Harris asks me, if I have something to wipe the fans with and Mr. tower Harris is ready to grab my broom.

That’s the moment I get close to a Panic attack.
That I didn’t push them out of my apartment when Mr. Boss Harris comes out of MY kitchen with a kitchen towel is all.
You know, those fans are above furniture, Computers and all kinds of things……

So, they leave, I calm down a bit and go downstairs again.
By now there are close to 7 guys in that office. My friend, Mr. Boss Harris was one of them.
Sigh.
I don’t even talk to the guy I usually talk to. I talk to Mr. a2 and ask him friendly, if in a big Complex like this one, he really tries to tell me that I am the only one that ever asked to get those fans cleaned?!
Got them talking and thinking for 5 minutes, but I got a result.

The company comes back on Thursday, with a machine to do the cleaning of those fans or whatever you call them.

We will see what kind of a mess THEY will leave me in…..

>:XX FYI: the NEXT dust storm is out there >:XX
