It has been a few days since I have posted anything here. Nothing wrong just been pretty busy. A lot of paperwork.
I have had several call outs over the weekend due to people having toilet issues. I still find it amazing how many people have no idea how to use a plunger to clear a clog in a toilet. It reminds me of when we were over in Lincoln City. We had a lot of tenants that refused to purchase a toilet plunger. After they got to the point that it was interupting dinner almost every night Laurie came up with the solution. We went to the dollar tree and purchased a plunger for each unit. We also purchased big bows for every plunger. Laurie then typed up directions for their use. " insert rubber end into toilet, push repeat if necessary" These were put on address label stickers and aattatched to each plunger. at the top part of the handle we attatched the bow. When the tenants came to the office to pay their rent they each went home sporting a shiny new plunger!! It sure got a lot of laughs but the interesting thing is that the number of calls for us to go clear someones clogged toilet seemed to drop to almost nothing.
I still chuckle when I think about it.
The weather here is getting cold again. There was snow up on the mountain today. Down here we are getting a lot of rain, we really need it but I still do not like working in it. Oh well such is life.
I bought myself a toy today. I found a small 15" long helicopter for $40.00 and just could not leave it there. I figure maybe it will be a bit of a stress buster for me. Now if I can only figure out how to fly it. I think I have the balance off a little as all it wants to do is go straight up and straight down. However I did manage to get it stuck in the tree out beside our place. Had to get a broom to get it knocked down. It should be a lot of fun trying to actually learn to fly the crazy thing.
