The Ugly

It can only get better.
It can only get better. Used the iPad as a camera.

Here it is my 367 square foot final resting place. Well, semi-final. I am hoping to upgrade my accommodations.

After making my “reservation” and boy do I HAVE reservations. And made a sizable down payment. My little tape measure and I were let loose in the unit. It is old tired and musty. The furniture will be removed. The carpet replaced and the joint painted. And hopefully it will be seriously cleaned.

I reviewed the physical exam form. I think I’ll pass. My coworkers suggested that I “throw” the mental exam. Maybe, maybe – if I tell them about the talking giraffe named GingerBread who follows me everywhere I go??? Maybe that will keep me out. Maybe anyone who would be willing to move into that unit is crazy.

(Note to Laurent – in the US there is a literary tradition of imaginary animal friends. This dates from at least 1944 – Harvey, the anthropomorphic 6 foot tall rabbit.)

The previous occupant seems to have moved in in 2012. And, I feel sure that this is his obit. Check it out Celestial Change of Address March 20 or so… It might seem that the asylum didn’t move quickly to reissue the unit. But, remember, I was #7 on the list. So, 6 folks were given the chance to look at it, think about it, and ultimately pass on it. Then they came to sucker #7.

  1. Hi,
    thank you for having explained those animal friends 🙂

    Probably, the first days in this room will be depressives. But, I hope, you will access rapidly an upper level on this “game” (eg, a better room).

    And this residence will be in alternance with Hawaï…

    Did you check the possibility of internet access ? asylum wifi or your own dsl subscription ?

    regards,
    laurent

  2. Pretty interesting previous tenant. I’m afraid mine will just read government programmer and father of two, paid bills on time. Grin.
