  • So I just called the management office to make sure they got the lease renewal, especially since I haven't even see the rent bill come under the door this month (new lease doesn't take affect until next month, but it still freaked me out).

    It went something like this:

    Them: "Hello, management company."
    Me: "Hi, I'm just calling to make sure you got my lease renewal."
    Them: "Hang on."
    *transfer noises*
    Them: "Hello."
    Me: "Hi, I'm just calling to make sure you got my lease renewal."
    Them: "First of all, 'good morning?' and who are you?"
    Me: *taken aback* "I'm sorry, hi, how are you?" *introduces myself*
    Them: "Where do you live?"
    Me: *gives address*
    Them: "That you signed it or that you didn't sign it?"
    Me: "That I signed it -- I just wanted to make sure that you got it."
    Them: "Yes."

    Okay, now I wasn't super-suave, but that's weird right? And I know that pro-tenant laws in NYC are too strict for them to do anything to use because they thought I was rude on the phone, but that was seriously odd, ne?

    I was so rattled, I didn't even ask them about the missing rent bill; I know what it is and will just drop it in the mail today.

  • Also a bit of gender-presentation weirdness at work. But, I pretended it wasn't happening and just said now that it's fall, I like to wear my nice clothes. The nice part was that this was then met with "ah, so no concert this evening then?" and I just thought to myself, hey, polite society functioning well. Not too bad.

  • I made clout ten on Associated Content (public profile still says nine, but my account says 10). This means that the amount I get paid per 1,000 page views on my articles (in addition to upfront payments) has gone up. So that's nice.

  • From the department of eye-rolling: apparently CNN feels the need to offer us an article on why women have sex.
