Once again the plumbing is stopped up.  I called Mike but it was a Friday and he was not able to get hold of the owner and so all weekend I have had to wake up and go down to the clubhouse to have bowel movement.  What fun.  Now the whole area knows my routine....Got to get ready to go to work ....

Most of my whole life has been in and out of electronics.  I really liked Radio Shack.  I was a customer of Radio Shack as a customer way back when I was 13 years old, 50 years ago.  I enjoy dealing with the  customers of all ages coming in and solving their problems.  But, somewhere, the Shack has lost touch with their customers and their employees.  No longer do they care about either one of them.   I met my district manager and the only thing he wanted from me was to get some training thing done by the end of the day.  There was no mention of transfer.  I was so intimated, that I did not mention my transfer either.  Therefore, I am left with no option than to quit Radio Shack and look for another job closer to home since the gas prices are now $4.00 a gallon.  I can no longer afford to work in a place that I enjoy and use the skills that I have had most of my life.

Radio Shack also only cares whether one sells cell phones.  They do not want prepaid but the ones with a contract.  Once again, they don't care about the customer, but are looking for revenue coming in.  It is difficult for me to work in an environment that is against my principles.  Principles before personalities.

After Dave's actions could not unplug the toilet,etc. I called him and he told me the next step was to get hold of the handyman for the property.  I went across the way and his words were, "If I see him...." I chose not to rely on him since I had seen him drinking beer in the afternoons.  I introduced myself to another one of the guys who turned out to be an Army veteran.  I told him I was an Army brat and my first memory was eating a piece of bread from the back seat of a car.  The next thing I knew he was going to find Mike, the handyman.  Mike showed up and tried to snake out the drain for the plumbing and had to call a plumber.  They came and fixed the plumbing. 

Had I been living with Wei, Pat would have gotten pissed off or on finally, threatened Wei with nonpayment of rent or called the plumber himself and deducted it from the rent.  So, it really is better here, after all...LOL

Whenever you think that you can escape things like landlords not fixing sewer lines at one place, and you move then you might find that you are faced with the same problem only worse at the other.  When I lived with Wei, Pat and I kept smelling sewer smell every time the dish washer would be run or the laundry would be run.

The first thing I faced was the shower was backed up.  So I thought could just pour bleach down it and solve the problem.  Well, then I used some stuff I got at Dollar General.  It seemed to have solved the problem...Then, I noticed on the way to work, the shower had leaked.  I did not know there was an overflow drain...and the drain was actually stopped up...There was a time when I had to go get a plunger for the toilet and had to plunge the toilet, because it was stopped up....it kept getting worse....Finally when I went to work I noticed that there was toilet paper all over the place.... So I called Dave, the guy, I pay the rent on this thing.   He came out and we got some heavy duty drain cleaner stuff and he poured it down the drain.  We I came home and flushed the toiled and guess what....still a problem...during the night..I forgot not to flush and not there is toilet paper all over...This morning I needed to move my bowels big time.   Can I flush?  Hell no.  Here I am with a toilet full of feces aka shit, paper, piss and I have to pee again...LOL  I feel like going back to Wei.  I did not have to drive 45 minutes, or have a stopped up toilet.
