Landlord: The caretaker will be away for a month, can you let me know if anything needs attending to?
Me: Sure. (I have e-mail, it's easy to shoot one off whenever I want.)
time passes
Me: The latch to the garbage area broke, and the door is swinging in the wind. (Plus a few more details.)
Landlord: "Thanks for letting me know. [The caretaker] is away for a little while yet so if you can do something temporary that would be great.
Merci!"
*sigh*

Some days I feel like the world is taking advantage of me.

You did a lovely repair on the latch, though.
Thank you. :) I had the piece of wood left over from cutting the trim for my desk (which I have yet to finish), and a neighbour kindly used his power saw to remove the mitred edges. The drill bit skidded a bit, and so the hole isn't as centred as it might otherwise have been, but I didn't exactly measure it to begin with.
At any rate, given that it's oak, I kind of suspect that it'll outlast the rest of the structure. ;)
while yer at it I've got some things that need fixin' at my place.
How well do you pay? I've got a whopping bill to pay my brother... :P
I pay less then minimum wage and have been known to sexually harrass my employee's
*sigh*... too bad you aren't a cute guy who is also kind and intelligent. ;)
