Meeting the Neighbors

I’m not one of those people that likes to make friends in the building. I’d rather remain a mystery.
I wish that was the case in this apartment, but due to all of my issues after moving in… garbage picking super’s, leaves in my living room from the fireplace, leaks in the bathroom ceiling, mosquitoes - I’ve met some of my neighbors. The latest fiasco helped me meet a few more. Seems that I’m the building celebrity - the girl with the cursed apartment.

Back in December, I noticed that my clothes in my bedroom closet were a bit damp. I checked the ceiling to see what the problem was and a WAVE of water came crashing down on me. Nothing like mystery water coming down on your head at 1 in the morning - VERY attractive. A pipe burst in the apartment above me and the water destroyed the ceiling and soaked all of my clothes… over $300 in dry cleaning. Thankfully, the building management company reimbursed me. So now, I’ve had people ask to see my apartment, as if it’s some haunted house. There’s nothing to see, it’s all fixed! The funny thing is that the only people that want to check out the apartment are the boys - which works out for me because now when one stops by, I have them do a little work. HA!

One helped me hang my bike and the other fixed my heat. I guess I really don’t need a super - plus, they’re a LOT better looking.

Nothing like having good neighbors.

    I thought sod’s law meant in NYC that if a bloke was good looking then they had to be gay.

    That would be true if I were actually looking for a bloke. If I were, then everyone around me would be married or gay. :)

    Right now, I’m not looking for anything, therefore, I am surrounded by good looking straight men. Lucky me!
