What a shocker TP. Tenants from hell.

I don't get how people can live in filth and squalor when they have the choice to not. Keeping a house clean is not that hard, even with small kids.

So tomorrow I'm finally off to the doctor to get the MRI on my knee.
I've been waiting since January. I've had my X-rays done in March and all that's left is the MRI and to pay the doc some stupid amout, I'm sure.
Hopefully can finally get to the bottom of what's wrong with it. |

I've never understood how some people can treat other peoples property.
I've rented dozens of places and I can't remember one that I'd call a scum-bag. Most of them want you to get things fixed when there broken.
My landlady is a wonderful woman.
She backs me in everything I'm doing with the place (I've repaired the spouting, diverted the shower water to the vegie parch and repaired the roof) and doesn't question me when I've needed to get tradie in to fix something I can't..
I'm lucky she found me!
Real Estate Agents are another matter!
They want to wring the last cent out of you and do as little repairs or maintenance as possible and your bond regarded as money not yet there's! grrrrr. |
Yeah I'm pissed at the agent. When I met the guy I had a bad vibe, and told her so, I've been to nearly every three month inspection, she says nothing, until I do and she puts it on their report, but doesn't follow up. Last two times I couldn't help myself and when I was fixing the vertical chains, he said they always get tangled, I said yes but your meant to untangle them, your meant to maintain the place to a reasonable standard. We give them our number, and if they need something fixed we get to it as soon as we can, usually within 24 hours. He would complain to the agent, the agent would email me, we would call him, and call, and call, and call. They didn't want us there, they wanted the agent to send someone because the place was so filthy and they didn't want us to see it. He would get the carpets steam cleaned every time we did an inspection! That's bananas, and it's still covered in grease stains. It was spotless except the entrance when we left.
She's lucky she found you! Cheers

Yup! They picked the wrong person to piss off, I do better research than the FBI! hubby want to dump their shit on their lawn, but I said no, never know what they would do. We have insurance, I have supplied the insurance company, and the agent with their new contact details. Just let it go. I may feel differently when I have to start cleaning next week! It will take a long long long time! Will claim it through our maintenance company. I'll post some pics next week, ugh the filth!

That's what I didnt get, when they first moved in with one kid, I was wary and got insurance. Was pleasantly surprised the first inspection, the place looked great. Didn't go to the next one or two. Then She moved out. Think we had to fix something, and hubby was shocked at the mess. I went to the next inspection, there were grease stains down the hallway like someone had dragged an engine to the laundry. It was a tip. The agent sent me follow up notes, I sent them back with, um no, no warning, he fixes it now. She moved back and they have more kids, 7,5,1, and 1 month. That's the reason I didn't kick them out before Christmas, because she was pregnant. Last year I went to an inspection, there were cobwebs an inch thick in the laundry, the showers were mouldy, the wood window sills were mouldy, and don't get me started on the garden! You can't walk on the footpath because the bushes are so overgrown. The woman is an absolute slob! I didn't go to the next one, I just couldn't face it. The next one pissed me off so bad, I said that's it, let's get the. Out. Funny, when I was trying to track her down today, I was reading her Facebook page (it's not private) and she commented last year the agent wasn't happy with the condition of the place, WTF she says, we spent 2 days cleanin,g scrubbing, bleaching, hiding, (??!!) mowing, and the place looked great. Oooook obviously different standards. They were the second tenants, the place was in really good nick when the y moved in, only a few scratches on the vinyl in the family room from the last tenant. They left it clean, and I went over it again before these tenants moved in. It was our family home, and I'm fussy, it was in great condition.
I thought he'd punched the hole in the wall to taunt us, but I noticed on her Facebook page, a picture on the wall suddenly appeared in a very odd spot. Covering the hole I know now. It was about the time she was telling the world hed 'moved on' before the relationship was finished! And then she had the cheek to complain the house she was moving to, wait for it, had not been cleaned and the grass wasn't cut! Well I laughed at that. Got a lot of her Facebook page. I'd tried the White pages, but put in altona, on her page she mentioned moving to point cook, so I googled that, whala! Took a drive, found their car parked around the back, took a picture for the agent. She said we'd never find the,!
So I now have a couple of new soccer balls, Nike ones no less, a brand new bike helmet, lots of busted kids toys, and some not busted, a big blow up alligator, (which is bigger than the bashed up spa in the back yard!) a trampoline! Yes they left behind a frigging walled in trampoline! Sheets on the washing line, numerous empty grog bottles (she's a closet drinker, seriously, there's one in every wardrobe!) and some lovely fingerprint artwork on the walls! The actual walls! you gotta laugh, or you'd cry.
Anyhow, they are gone, time to clean up, fix up and sell. Then I'm going on holiday! Cheers.

Seriously, go see my doc, my mris were both free, bulk billed, and for both knees I'm out of pocket $1200, for the 2 synvisc injections, and visit fees. that's nothing compared to the relief from pain I got. And it's non invasive. Lasts about 10-12 months, and it lasts longer each time. (The word starts with c, but I lost it in the glass of red I just had!)

A good read

I have torn meniscus in both my knees. 1 is quite severe. I used to have to go to bed iearly, cos the pain got so bad, I couldn't sit still. Sitting in those cramped mcg seats would kill, now, I even wore heels to my daughters 21st!

Mm sounds good. I'd eat pretty much anything right now if someone cooked it for me! I've still got the flu, nearly 2 weeks, and today I feel nearly as bad as when I first got it, it's doing the Mexican wave. Now my eldest has it too. Ugh, and it's so cold! Thank god for ducted heating. good excuse to stay inside and wrapped up, that makes me happy today.

had a work team day today, all the different teams that make up our department. Each area was asked to do a presentation about themselves to the rest. Because I have 4 very different groups under meI wanted to do something different to standard and get each one of the 4 managers to do a bit about their own area. I asked for creative ideas, one of them came up with the idea of doing a version of who wants to be a millionaire.
My first thought was she'd taken the brief to be creative a bit too far but the other 3 loved the idea so away we went. The one who came up with the idea also managed to find me a power point template online which I was able to use and once I figured out how some of the programming worked, got something really schmick happening. Got some really good feedback, the boss told me after that we really nailed it. Only prob was that I underestimated their ability to talk about things they know well. We had an allocation of 20 minutes, we took 40 and that was after putting it in overdrive toward the end. 
Still, even though going for twice our allotted time span we kept the audience engagement all the way through.
In one of the great examples of coincidence, another team came up with the same concept. Unfortunately for them, we went first and although they did a good job of it, ours was way better. 
So I have a 4 day weekend now and the headache is responding to neurofen and red wine, so I'm chilling.

Hey Stui just curious do you like or enjoy those team days or butcher paper sessions - do you think they actually achieve anything meaningful or just a day away from work for most?
I would rather stab myself in the eye with a knife used to dissect maggot ridden corpuses - thankfully I have never been to one or any social thing anywhere I have worked - that makes me happy
