ktroni have things that i've been burning all day to sit and write about...
but now i'm a little pissy.
i just came home to a notice on my door that the apartment complex will be paving tomorrow... ok, cool. anyone parked in front of my apartment between 7:30 a.m. and whenever they finish will be towed and charged $50. kinda short notice, but i can deal...
then i realize that my neighbor, who's hispanic and doesn't seem to speak much english, has stepped out of his apartment and is watching me read the letter. his question? "what is?"
i'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. less than 24 hours notice, no translation. i'm fairly sure that i'm the only native anglophone in my building of six apartments. i imagine someone in the building is bilingual enough, but just in case, i got a friend to translate "don't park here on tuesday" for me so i could make a sign...
hopefully the complex is just bluffing. but still. *sigh*
