Well, It’s Gotten Worse

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012 | General with 3 Comments

Apparently a real plumber came to the property today to check out the leak and of course more wall came down after moving and unhooking my washer and dryer. A lot of water damage to the wood and more mold going down the wall that we couldn’t see because of my washer. Apparently the water is leaking from atop the water heater because she did not have a plumber to put it in. Now mind you this is the 3rd water heater she has had to purchase because hers keep failing for whatever reason.

So now there is a fan blowing air in the hole to dry out the wood as they have some makeshift crap going on to get the water to go on the cement which now puddles everywhere. I mean at least it’s not INSIDE my place. Luckily my utility room is outside the house which I actually don’t like but now I’m glad it is there. I was also told by the owner that the plumber told her she would need to replace some of the 2 x 4′s too. That’s not gonna be cheap but while they are at it fixing the wall back up maybe they ought to actually put a firewall up between the properties like there is supposed to be to begin with.

Construction Going On

And it’s not by choice either. Apparently the owners side is falling apart. First her water heater busted twice which prompted my utility wall to grow mold and she never fixed it. Now apparently she has leaking pipes all over according to one person. They said it was the pipes under her sink which would coincide with my kitchen wall. No damage going on on my side. However, her boyfriend went crawling under her side and saw the wet wood which is below her water heater area in the utility room which buts up against my utility room wall.

This then prompts the removal of part of the wall as you can see in the first picture so they can look to see if they can actually see the leak around any of the pipes. Well, sure enough one of the pipes does drip, about 1 drip every 30 seconds at the elbow. Okay, put a tupperware container underneath it to catch the water so it doesn’t keep saturating the wood which is seen in the second picture. However, there is a problem, it fills it up pretty fast and over flows to poor onto the wood anyways. I’ve already emptied it 3 times today and will probably go in there in a couple hours and dump it out again and put it back.

I guess the walls gonna get fixed now but not after they rip more out to sauder the one elbow joint first and then leave it open to make sure nothing else is leaking. At least it is not inside my place. My utility room is outside my place.

I’ve Been Scammed

I was super duper excited when I saw this 10 second clip. I thought hells to the ya another Ferris Bueller movie with them all groweded up.

I mean who wouldn’t think that right? RIGHT?!?

Here’s the full length commercial you will see during the SuperBowl and when I saw it I knew I was scammed. :sad:

Considering SuperBowl ads this year are between $2.6-2.8 million for a 30 second slot and this is almost 2 1/2 minutes. I’d say it was welllllll worth it. The bear moving back and forth in the seat is fricken hilarious.

And for the puppy lovers and Star Wars fans, this ones for you!! It’s called The Bark Side.

More Mishaps at the College

Here’s today public safety notice. I’m beginning to be thankful I don’t usually physically go to classes or have friends like this lol

I mean, really, who would WANT friends like this. It is insane. It looks like while one car was being stolen in the Romeo lot this was happening about the same time in another lot.

On Wednesday, January 18, 2012, at approximately 2:00 pm, a student was allegedly robbed at gunpoint inside his vehicle by the passenger who was a known acquaintance. The incident occurred in the parking lot behind Building 800. The victim alleges that the robber stole $220 in cash, an iPhone valued at $400, and a commemorative knife valued at $500. It has not been determined if the alleged robber is a TTC student. Since this incident allegedly occurred between two individuals who knew each other, there does not appear to be an on-going threat to the remaining public. An active criminal investigation is being conducted by Public Safety.

College E-mails

Every now and then I get e-mails from public safety at the college. They usually send these in mass e-mails even if some of us never step foot on campus for a class. I got a good chuckle out of todays. I mean, I feel sorry for the guy who’s car got stolen but who drives around in a car looking like this on purpose??

Today, at approximately 2:00 pm, Public Safety received a report that a student’s 1985 Burgundy Buick Electra 300 was stolen from the “Romeo” parking lot adjacent to Building 410. The vehicle is described as having a South Carolina license plate, 22 inch chrome rims, a San Francisco 49ers helmet decal on the hood, and a San Francisco 49ers license plate on the front.

Maybe they were die hard 49er fans?? Or maybe they hated the team so much they wanted the car to damage it?? Who knows but as it is a 1985 they MAY not be going far in it since it’s so old.

Effed Up Again

So I finally obtained my school book that has been on back order for ages on the 12th. I have also been waiting forever to do my quiz 3 for one class. Upon signing on to the website you get a list of your courses as well as how many quizzes you have access to. Well, nothing was showing for this class so I never bothered to open up the class as there were no discussions for it either. Today I finally opened it up to the quiz section and low and behold I missed the damn quiz. The next 3 quizzes and full exam are due at the beginning of October. It didn’t even show exam 1 anywhere either. Somethings wrong here now as it just dawned on me about exam 1. We’ll see how long it takes for a response. So technically I’ve missed an exam and a quiz?

All my classes are messed up this semester in terms of the workload. One class the teacher keeps changing assignments and dates. Another one we can barely get a response out of the teacher much less any help. This semester sucks ass.

UPDATE: Got a response back from this prof in the class I missed a quiz and exam and he let me take them even though it was truly my fault for not paying more attention. I am just used to see the entire list of quizzes with deadlines and this class will not give you another one until you finish the one prior which is stupid. Just finished both. Got an A on my exam. I love having instant gratification on grades.
