Can i get some privacy please!

So as most of you know Daniel and I live in an Apartment in Millbrook. Well This week was quarterly inspections. Since we have a small dog Daniel called the front office to see if they could tell us an exact time that they would be coming so that I could be home and have our dog put up. (Plus I really don't like the fact of strangers, not very nice ones at that, coming in my home when we are not there). They of course said they had no Idea when it would be and they could only tell us that it would be Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Well gets who gets to sit at home all day waiting on them to come....I didnt even get to go running at the park like I do everyday!! So Monday was a no show. I thought Tuesday was gonna be a no show too because they leave at 5pm and they still had not come around by 3:30. Well Daniel had a playoff game that night at 6:20 so I of course needed to be ready around 5:30 so we could leave. So I figure they aren't coming I might as well get in the bath. I got all my stuff together, got my bath poored, and got in and guess what??? Knock Knock Knock. Well since they have a key to the apartment I knew I had to hurry cause if I didn't come to the door they would come in thinking I was not there. Well my robe was in the other bathroom. Here I am soaking wet and naked (lol) running to the other bathroom to get my robe on praying that they don't walk in the door. If you have ever tryed to put on a cotton robe when you are soaking wet you cannot do it fast. Of course my dog is going crazy the entire time because I was not able to put her up in all the excitement. So I get my robe on and get to the door just as they are opening it. I explain that I was in the bath and they proceed to go around my home being nosy checking to see if anything needs replacing and if we are keeping things sanitary...lol . No joke! The manager looked through every cabinet, my refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, closets, everything while the maintenance man checked the fire extinguisher, and fire alarms. I felt soooooo completely violated...I mean my home was clean but why should I let a complete stranger go through my stuff right in front of me like she owns my stuff and not just the apartment. Anyway thats why we hope to be out of here soon. If the housing market will pick up and I can find a house I consider worth buying...lol then we can move. Anyway out of everything the only thing she could find is that two of my cabinets wouldnt shut all the way so they needed fixing. They have always been this way since we moved in and is not a big deal to me but she decided that it was a big deal to her and that she would send the maintenance guy there tommorrow to fix it. So I get yet another day of sitting at home and doing nothing. And guess what...the whole day goes by and I need to start getting ready to go out to eat before church and I no more step in the shower and Knock Knock Knock...Unbelievable...So I had to scurry once again for him to come in and say "Those arent even bad enough to fix. I don't know what she is thinking" and he leaves. AHHH!!!

For you to completely understand my frustration I need to tell you that this maintenance man is horrible. He never does what he says he is gonna do and every time we have needed something fixed, whether it was the air condition, water heater, whatever he has needed a how to manual and had no idea what he was doing. He told me over a year ago that he would order and replace a mirror in our bathroom that was burned when lightning struck our building and I have yet to see it. So I had absolutely no reason to believe that he would even show up to fix this.

I guess from now on when I want something I should call them and then get in the shower...lol
