i had an interesting experience that ended sometime last night. last monday, KO stopped by and asked if i could keep an eye on things while he and LO headed to warmer climates for a few days of R&R. so starting very early last thursday (5am-ish) and ending sometime after i went to bed last night (1130ish), i was the interim landlord.

well, not really, but i like to think that i was. so i had a key to things downstairs, contact numbers and the responsibility to take care of things while they were away. it did snow saturday into sunday, so i cleared the snow away. from the steps. from the cars. from the driveway.

KO has someone plowing the driveway and i heard him on sunday morning. when i got out of bed and looked out the window all i could think was:

half-assed

he barely did half of the driveway. i couldn't believe it. i expected to clear some of it, clean up some of the mess the plow leaves, but dude, you have to do more than half the driveway. it wasn't much (~3" of the light fluffy blow in your face stuff), but if you are going to make the effort to plow, you should at least finish the job you start. i'm sure the excuse would be something along the lines of 'i got a call and i was going to get back, but when i did, it was already cleared. i'm still gonna charge you full price for what i did.'

so i bundled up, grabbed my shovel and cleared the driveway (cars and walkways). it was kinda fun, but it was certainly tempered by the fact that it was only half done and i was doing what should have been done for me.

so all in all, nothing much happened, and i didn't have to call anyone, but it was fun to be responsible for this place. i semi-expected to talk to them tonight, but i think KO had someone over to help him with his alfa which is currently in a state of disassembly. so we'll see when we chat. i'm itching to tell him about the plow job we got.

jackass. he's lucky i didn't have his number. i woulda been tempted to call and ask why only half the driveway was done.

well, i have to get to bed. i'm going to attempt to goto the gym in the morning. i've taken the week off so it's time to get back on the gym wagon. it's just the waking up and getting moving part i hate. that and the cold. otherwise i like going to the gym.
