new surface wtf?

[threeplusfire]

Our apartment office put notes on our doors on Monday, between 4 and 5pm. They notified us to vacate the entire stretch of parking area on this side of the complex or "the contractors will tow your car at your own expense." Very little notice to move dozens and dozens of cars. They are supposedly resurfacing the parking lot, which is riddled with cracks and potholes. Yesterday I watched at least four cars be towed away and there were probably more I didn't see. I wonder if there are any people on vacation who will come home to find their car missing.

Yesterday and today they laid down new coverings of tarry, sticky asphalt. What they did not do was fill any of the potholes or cracks, smooth the surface or actually fix any of the problems. I can already see the new surface cracking and warping in the exact same spaces. What exactly this is meant to accomplish, I don't know. I just came home from lunch with Mike and the smell made my head hurt.

Is the smell seeping inside? You're welcome to come over here for the afternoon if you'd like... I could give you that knitting lesson, or you can use Rick's computer to play WoW or something. =) I haven't been on Elune lately because I've dragged myself up to 56 on Sisters of Elune... someday maybe I'll be able to raid with all the folks I met last month.

are you playing horde side or alliance over there?

Horde. Rick has a teenage shaman he just started for fun, I've got a teenage lock I'd started before folks told me the guild needs healers and I remade as a druid (Celery), and Ed and Michelle are playing so they can spend time together while he's in Boston... they're teenage too. So if you're bored and want to start a newbie, there's folks that could play with you in short order. =) I've got knitting meetup in an hour, but I should be online this afternoon. I'm so close to being big enough for BC, I can practically taste it.
