Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
| We also had a leak in one of the bedroom ceilings. It started last week, Thursday. I had reported the leak early that morning. We had to run a couple of errands and had to leave a couple hours. So apparently the maintenance man came in to look at it while we were gone, and evidently it wasn't leaking right then. However, you could clearly see the brown water rings on the ceiling. And wet towels were on the floor where it had been leaking. The maintenance man told the lady in the office that we didn't have a leak. So I go back and get another work order put in on Friday. Same guy comes back while we were at home and this time, water is dripping. He physically sees the leak. He tells us it is probably from our air conditioning so he will have to call in a specialist. We wait to hear if anyone shows up. Nothing.... I go back to the office and ask them when to expect the specialist because it is still leaking. Then I am told the same guy is going to come take a look at it to see if he can fix it himself. (Three times now, this guy comes to our apartment to check out this leak.) He finally looks at the AC unit. It is fine. The leak isn’t coming from there. He tells us he wants to see the leak again before he cuts into the ceiling. We suggest it could be coming from upstairs but he insist that it isn’t. It doesn’t drip while he is here. He gets a brilliant idea. He will just fix the leak by putting some caulking compound in the hole it is dripping from and spray some sealant over it. There, good as new. Not! It lasted 3 hours tops. Next day, I go back to the office. I am getting quite irritated with this dude by this point. I think to myself that someone asked how stupid can you be and he took it as a challenge. Anyway, I explain to the lady in the office, the leak is still not fixed, and the carpet is getting wet. She had acted like she didn’t even card until I said that. I guess it didn’t matter if any of our stuff was getting ruined. She says she will get him back there the same day. We wait...and wait...and wait....no maintenance man shows up. Next morning, it is all can do to keep my cool and temper in check. I go back to the office and want to know why didn’t anyone come fix the leak. I was told he was called to another property. Ok we only have one maintenance man here, and you are sending him to other properties. Umm, what about this one people? Anyway, I am told he will be back that afternoon. He did show up finally. He decides he has to cut the ceiling to see where it is coming from. Wow! Imagine that. It was coming from upstairs. So he goes upstairs to see what was going on up there. It turns out the neighbor’s AC was leaking. They didn’t report the leak, just ignored it, and as a result it dripped into our apartment. The maintenance man says it was because they had their AC set below 72. So it was freezing, thawing out and re-freezing again. This caused the leak. Next thing you know everyone is getting a text to not run their AC below 72 degrees or they would be added to the AC REPAIR WAITING LIST AND WOULD JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY GOT AROUND TO FIXING IT. (Accidently got on caps lock and I am not retyping that) He is supposed to come back to repair the hole in the ceiling Monday after everything dries out. First of all, what made him think just putting some caulking in the hole was going to keep the ceiling from leaking? The same material was all around it that leaked to begin with. Secondly, we couldn’t go look upstairs to begin with, without cutting a hole in the ceiling? It took him 4 or 5 trips to our apartment to fix it. Then he tells me he is the only AC repair person on property. Oh Lord, Help us all! On a more positive note, I did get approved for sooner care starting July 1st. Health insurance is a huge answer to prayer. Now I can start getting more stuff done quicker. When I had to pay out of pocket it was difficult. Yay! Thank you, God! I also saw the Dr today. I have to eliminate dairy for a week and then gluten to see if a food intolerance is causing my issues. The Dr also thinks I need to increase my antidepressant dosage and get tested for sleep apnea. Over the next couple of months, she will order this and then I will follow up with her. She also said if I get approval for insurance, she will try to get me into a rheumatologist sooner by referring me to a different Dr. A little bit of progress in the right direction was made today. What a relief! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Joshua 1:7-9 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. What is this passage saying to you today? Answer: If you live, breathe, eat, and sleep God's law, then it will cause you to be prosperous and successful. Fear God above all else so you will do and keep his laws. Think about God's laws all the time.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I always wonder why we have to answer the questions with the automated system and then once we have a human we're asked the same questions. Is this tactic a way to thin out customer calls? What are your thoughts? Sometimes you wonder. Lol Why can’t we have a human to begin with? Has it become overly complicated for a human being to warm transfer a customer to the correct department? Oh wait, people might actually think you care about the customer! 🤔 Actually, it is about the almighty dollar. Time is money. It is about getting you on and off the phone as quickly as possible. The more calls an individual can handle, the fewer individuals are needed to handle the amount of calls. Customer service is measured with speed and not always true customer service any more. I have worked in a call center before. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Today in the center of the galaxy, we found a star many of us are familiar with.

, a poem about love. What do you think love is? There is a way to play the game of love and win. However, you can lose that game too. Love has a price to pay. Love does hurt at times, but in its purest form, it is completely worth it. Sacrificial, unselfish love is the best kind to give and receive. And yes it can hurt to give love to others especially when it is not returned. Just ask Jesus about that. He paid the ultimate price for love. He suffered a horrible death and died on the cross for our sins so we wouldn’t have to. He did it so we can truly live to the fullest, and have an abundant life. He thought every human soul was worth the price of his love for us even while we were still living in our sin. Praise God for showing us what true love is in his word and by an example and by sending his only begotten son, Jesus, to this earth to die for our sins and to be raised again! Hallelujah! He lives! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Do you read horoscopes? Why? Have you thought about writing your own horoscope for fun? I will admit, in early adulthood, I played around with horoscopes. I even ran up phone bills talking to psychics. However, As a Christian, I believe it is wrong for me to do that now. And honestly, I don't need them. I have the Holy Spirit living in me, and he tells me everything I need to know. I have my confidence in Christ.
