Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

Hope you have a wonderful visit, Artie!

Thats a good idea about the teddy bears!

Good timing, Artie. You just missed a week's worth of rain and clouds.

And cold! It's supposed to be in the 80s this weekend.


Have fun, Art! Oregon is always beautiful in spring- plus you're right at the end of tree pollen and before the grass pollen. Heh.

P.S. Art- I love staying in vrbo or the like instead of a hotel. Last time I visited the dancer spawn I was able to cook him breakfast, and it was so much fun hanging out in the kitchen together. My momma heart got all squooshy. Have fun squishing your boy. <3

I entered the swimming pool this afternoon an associate professor. Per the time stamp on the email, I got out a full professor.

Congratulations.

Congratulations!

Congrats @@!

Wonderful news, and well deserved.

I'm grateful that they recognise your considerable talent and worth to them on occasion.

It would be great if that translated to adequate provision in other areas.

Very Twilight-Zoney!

Also what Lost said. Power to the Professor, right on!

Congrats, @@!

Congrats @@!

Congrats @ 🥳 !

So they updated our apartment wash machines without telling me. I now have over a hundred useless dollars in rolled quarters. But i must say, it is much quieter to operate with an app. Now if only they had an app to fold laundry...

Write them an email to complain.

Dear housing folks/ evil owner (delete as appropriate) .

I am writing regarding the recent update to the wash machines in our apartment complex. I was taken by surprise to discover that the wash machines had been updated without any prior notification.

As a result of this update, I now find myself in possession of over a hundred dollars in rolled quarters that are now essentially useless to me. Had I been informed about the update beforehand, I would have been able to plan accordingly and avoid this inconvenience.

I understand that updates and improvements are necessary for the maintenance of the apartment facilities, but communication with residents is equally important. It would have been greatly appreciated if residents were informed in advance about the changes to the wash machines, allowing us to prepare accordingly.

Moving forward, I kindly request that the management ensures better communication regarding any future updates. Additionally, I would appreciate any assistance in finding a solution for the surplus quarters that I now have.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

Can't you just deposit the quarters back in the bank?

So the summer workshop that wasn’t going to provide captioning changed their minds and said they would. Great.

Then they just send me an email saying “We’ve booked your ASL interpreters!”

Well...at least they're trying, I guess? If not the best at reading comprehension. Hopefully, they can provide what you actually need.

Ha! Lost was right! Power to the Professor, right on! (Yes its the 60s again only different.)

Actually i might take my quarters to the farmers market this summer. They only take their own tokens now. And maybe money. Otherwise i will just have to start drinkin and tippin bartenders i reckon.
