Would someone please tell me why we are managers of a student housing complex. I've had quite the eventful day today, and I hope it is not going to be a common occurrence around here. So we have had some drama in an apartment since about day 1. I kind of knew there would be a problem with 2 of these tenants before they even moved in (they are weirdos), but I thought it would be okay or that they might somehow get along. This particular apartment has 3 guys and they are all odd balls to put it nicely so I put them together thinking they would be friends! Well 2 of the 3 don't get a long and have many other issues that need to be discussed with a therapist (not the apartment manager). I can't even start to explain to you the weirdness of this one guy... you honestly would have to see it to believe it. I really want to just video tape him so you understand why I run and hide when I see him coming (except that would be creepy if I was video taping the tenants so you will just have to take my word on this). Anyway he isn't even the problem, it's the guy that hates him and that "bullies" him and "threatens him" and is loud during late hours of the night into the morning. So basically he is breaching contract, and we warned him about it, and the behavior continued, and I along with Clark and the owner are so sick of dealing with these guys that we are evicting one of them! So basically my day has consisted of class, coming home and listening to these guys complain about their roommate and how he has anger issues, blah blah blah, then I race to my other class, then I come home and type up a nice little eviction letter. I try to see if a police officer will give him the eviction papers (it makes it a little more official, and I'm a little afraid to do it). But unfortunately their isn't an officer available to do it until Monday and it costs money... so I said forget that I'll do it myself!! Well no one answered so I stuck it to their door. He actually called the owner a little earlier asking her a question about cable and she gave him the bad news! So he technically already knows, and the letter is just a formality and to cover us if he tries to sue. And you all thought being an apartment manager was boring! Look how fun filled and exciting my day was. Now I have to try and clean my apartment before going to my other job for 3 hours! All the while Clark is in Yellowstone with his Dad looking for Elk, Bison, and enjoying Old Faithful. He will be home tomorrow, and boy will he get an ear full of my eventful Friday.

What does an eviction letter sound like? I'm so intrigued. I think it's kind of funny that it's the boys that are causing the drama. Doesn't it stereotypically feel like it should be girls? Good luck!
How does it go - "Other than that, how did you enjoy the play, Mrs. Lincoln?" Welcome to the real world where it seems most of the rest of the people are not quite right. Good luck, anyway.
Well...my friend that managed apartments in LA had to open an apartment & find a lady dead!
She was a little older & had been sick apparently.
I can't wait to here about all of this in person soon! We will have story hour with Laura Pierson each night.
Oh little Laura Lou! I'm sorry you have to deal with these kinds of things. Did you turn red when you knocked on his door? I probably would have!
The reason you guys are apartment managers is to provide you with entertaining material to post on your blog. I love it. You guys should be starring in or hosting a reality sitcom. It would be a comedy, of course.
