The printer black hole
01.04.08 (2:24 pm)   [edit]

I printed off a job posting to a printer in the office. I hope it never gets printed. I think we are having printer network issues. In fact, we were cut off from the Internet and our LAN for a few hours because of some virus issue.

I applied for a job a couple of weeks ago, and they called me back to let me know that they were re-assessing the job description and wouldn’t be hiring for the position for another month or two. I’m happy they called me, but what does their situation really mean?

There is a mercury retrograde starting up close to the end of the month and won’t end until the 3rd week of February. This tells me I really shouldn’t be applying for jobs right now because I refuse to start another job during a retrograde. However, today, I found a job posting for a job close to my place that is up my alley…I’ll apply anyway.

I met up with an old co-worker for lunch today. She had told me there was some possible contract work if I was interested. Turns out she’s preggers and would be on mat leave starting July. She is sort of trying to find a replacement for herself already. BWAHAHA

I am a little uncomfortable being in competition for jobs right now with my old boss, though!

I thought my luck ran out yesterday since I got that phone call about the postponed job opportunity. And also, I thought I lost the keys to get into my condo (main door and suite). I really HATE the rule that there is only key per resident. I have a 2 bedroom suite, but I am only allowed one key for the main door/garage. RIDICULOUS. I tried getting a spare key because I didn’t’ want to be locked out of my own home, but they wouldn’t budge.

Anyway, I called the after hours phone number for the property management company because the strata committee told residents to do that if they were ever locked out of the building. The guy who answered the phone said that they didn’t deal with building access issues!! He took my phone number and information and told me that someone would call me back “soon”. NOBODY called me back, and 20 hours later, nobody still has!

One Key is terrible for a two bedroom condo.

Those keys with the "do not copy" suck. What really sucks is that they want so much control over who lives there and who comes and goes that they limit you to one key. When I had one of those keys at my old apartment they at least gave me TWO of them so I could let my boyfriend at the time have one.

I guess the one-key-only is for security purposes, right? I can understand that but they should make sure there's access for tennants 24 hours a day, everybody gets locked out once in awhile, huh?

I hate having only one key to get into my building. I just have to make sure I never lose my keys are the battery never dies!

I have one of those do not copy keys, and needless to say, I have no friends who work at hardware stores! What I really need is a copy of my key fob!

A lot of places will let you have a minimum number of keys equal to the number of rooms in your suite! My strata is lame. I do plan on getting an extra key fob for Mr. Nick, though!

When I had questioned what to do if the battery in key fob died, and they told me to make sure I changed the battery regularly *eyes roll* They are very strict about security around here. I guess that is good for me, but it sure makes things inconvenient!
