A&F

awesome:
I went running this morning and made it past Gasworks, all the way down to Aurora bridge, and back with just a little water break at Gasworks on the way back. I think that’s a total of at least 3ish miles. I wanted to keep going to the Fremont bridge which isn’t much further but I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to handle the trip back. I wasn’t even that tired when I got back to The Wall of Death so I think next time I’ll go to the Fremont bridge. I’m not sure if I need that stop at Gasworks either, cause I think it actually throws me off to just stop and drink water.

I like that I can say my run starts and ends at The Wall of Death. If I make it to Fremont (aka the center of the universe) then I’ll be able to say: I start my run at The Wall of Death and turn around at The Center of The Universe and end at The Wall of Death, all before breakfast. It’s almost lyrical.

frustrating:
This whole iPod thing is really annoying. I got back from my run this morning and walked past my apartment manager’s window, which was open (unusual). I look in and it looks like no one is even living in there any more. So I go around and knock on his door and turn the door knob, and it opens! I say “hello??” as I step in and turn on the light and sure enough, it’s cleaned out. No one lives there any more, which would explain why I haven’t been able to get a hold of him for the past week or so I’ve been trying to.

So I go over to the main Coho office and ask if they know any apartment managers by the name of “K Coomur”, and they say they don’t know anyone by that name. And then Joseph (my ex-apartment manager) walks in and I ask him about it. He says he never signs for packages for this very reason. He’s also quitting. Supposedly the new apartment manager is living on the 3rd floor somewhere temporarily. But as of now I have no iPod and no apartment manager.

So I call DHL to be like “My manager doesn’t have it.” And of course I get some customer service guy who clearly does not want to be on the phone, and really shouldn’t be. He puts me on hold like 10 times, and each time I get this recorded voice with cheesy music in the background saying stuff like “DHL guarantees hassle free door to door delivery!” I just laughed. And he’s all like “Well, it’s been like 9 days all you can do is file a lost claim.” So that’s what I’m doing. Man, fuckin DHL and “K Coomur.”

kidnapped

Dear “K Coomur”

You are such an ass. Seriously, who steals other people’s packages?! I mean, that’s just fucked up. I’ve patiently been waiting for Spandy2 (the replacement iPod) for days. I kept thinking “Well, maybe it’s just taking them a while to get back.” But then today I find out that she’s been in Seattle since SATURDAY! That’s almost a whole week. At first I thought, maybe you signed for the package to be nice. But you’ve had it for like 5 days, which would be plenty of time to deliver it to it’s correct location. No, I’m pretty sure you’ve kidnapped Spandy2, which makes me really really sad. I don’t know, maybe you haven’t really stolen her and you’ll bring her to me soon and this whole post will be moot. Or maybe the DHL people will hunt you down for me (unlikely).

I miss my iPod. *sad face*
