Play with me.
They probably also own the maintenance companies and the landscaping companies that work on the buildings.
I have less than a month to return my lease vehicle and overnight a (nearly) top to bottom crack appeared with a nice little pit accompanying it. I don't know what to do. The repair company wants a full grand, I'm sure the dealer will want more. If I return it as-is, they'll ding me for it as well but I have no idea how much more or less they will charge. Also, I'm going to be out of town so I don't have a lot of time to deal with this.

I'm so sorry, you sound like you're going through so much trouble and uncertainty right now. I can only imagine how heartbreaking that had to be for you to hear, I hope that executive's opinion isn't widely shared by the rest of your board. I hope things work out okay for your wife's job.Also got told the project I've worked on for 2 years is garbage last night by an executive.
Thanks, I'll be fine. I just got to keep striving. I wish I could make this easier for my wife, she's devastated.I'm so sorry, you sound like you're going through so much trouble and uncertainty right now.

If the team was going to be doing basically nothing I wouldn't punish myself over it, but I don't know enough about the group mechanics to issue a very valid opinion. Have a happy trip.I took yesterday off. When I got off work Thursday, I completely put aside the grief of having my work called garbage repeatedly to comfort my wife. Like I forgot the tongue-lashing even happened until I woke up and checked my work messages. The team was despondent over the tongue lashing and I found I didn't have the energy to go into work and deal with it. I felt guilty because there's been so much turnover in my team's management that I've been the chief cheerleader and moving force for the team and everyone looks to me to see if things will be alright but I just couldn't play that role on Friday. I had to disconnect completely to recover if that makes sense. By Friday afternoon I felt like I had been a big baby and let the team down by calling off when they probably needed me to be there for emotional support if nothing else.
But I'm going on my train vacation next week and I'm excited about that. I'll be on the train overnight on the 4th so I wonder if we'll see any fireworks? Should be an interesting night anyways.
There's a difference between houses and apartments. People who rent houses (or parts of houses) are more at the mercy of landlords, especially in a city like Vancouver where a cheap house that's literally falling down is priced at over $1 million.Vancouver must have weird renting laws. Minneapolis (could be a Minnesota thing) allows the renter to put the rent into escrow until the landlord makes formally requested repairs. In my place if want to do anything bigger than replacing a lightbulb the rental company insists it be carried out by the handyman - including things as simple as snaking the drain.
Those are a thing here, too, for apartment buildings. The company that owns my building has around a dozen others in Red Deer and lots more across Canada (including Quebec; I was told that the customer service agents have to be bilingual since you never know where your call will be answered; I've had the experience of calling about a plumbing issue and getting connected to someone in Montreal, who takes the information and then sends an email to my building manager to let him/her know they need to do something for me).‘Rental company’?
It does. Getting told something like that, especially from someone who likely knows far less about it than you do, would be upsetting for anyone.I had to disconnect completely to recover if that makes sense.
Well, there is a cathartic element to racking up personal kills on individual players.Strategy games for me is the easiest type of game to get into the rythm with and to just pick up and play, but is also by far the least fun
I try, but I usually give up pretty quickly, or use imagery I've already seen. If a character's being described, my brain might use the image of someone I've already seen, or might make up some bizarre new appearance that doesn't really match the description, is blurry and with large parts missing, and sometimes just strange.Do you imagine what you read? I don't/can't. I can only create an image in my head if I stop and focus. The second I stop, it's gone.
Which means overly descriptive writing is just frustrating to me instead of alluring.
