This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 25 years that I've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 25 years here in a weekly blog post.
I saw this on the sidewalk and thought I had found $40. lol But as soon as I picked it up, I could tell it was counterfeit money. If the feel of it didn't give it away...
The while paper looking middle sure did. It was too think, felt like paper and had a while middle. I will say whoever made this made it look real if you didn't pick it up and feel it. Damn. lol I thought it was my lucky day.
I heard sirens and at first didn't know where they were. But saw people looking into the Cal Ranch parking lot so I walked that way and sure enough there were a few police cars over there. This parking lot is right next door to me.
More police. I think Cal Ranch might have been robbed. But I couldn't find anything on the news about it. So who knows.

A neighbor 2 doors from me was locked out of his apartment Thursday night when he got home. I found out that maintenance had come to unclog his sink because he put in a work order. But they said they didn't have a key to his apartment so instead of waiting or making another appointment, they drilled out the lock, changed the lock and when they were done, they locked the door.
Because he wasn't home, they couldn't give him the new key. But they didn't leave a note on his door to let him know. He called the maintenance emergency number at 6pm. He was outside so I heard the conversation when he was on the phone. They apparently told him he would have to wait until the next day to get the new key and that's when he started yelling telling them that they were going to get him in his apartment that night that he wouldn't be sleeping in his car.

He kept calling them back every 15 minutes for 2 hours and they stopped answering his calls. So he started calling every number he could find on Google for this management company and he must have gotten a hold of someone because that person called our manager who called maintenance and they came out 30 minutes later. It took 3 hours for this guy to get back in his apartment. At one point I asked him if he wanted to sit in my apartment but he declined. I also told him he should just break a window and get in that way but he didn't do that. He was big mad though.
The high this week was 80F/26C
The low this week was 49F/9C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
