Q: Only a little tiny, tiny part of you missing

What a bizarre week! On Monday, I came home to a broken blind. Roommate didn’t know how to work a simple blind and decided to rough house it into submission. The blinds were defeated and came down in pieces. The aftermath left her panicking because she feared that I would scold her for the mishap. You think I’d be angry over this? Not one bit. I was laughing upon reading the unfortunate text. Well, I thought to myself as I clapped my hands, at least I don’t have to clean that anymore.

Upon simulation of what actually happened, I was flabbergasted. Look, you have two strings. If you pull on one of them, and only one side of the blinds rise to form a fan, almost automatically you should be aware that the other string controls the other portion. You may even proceed to lower down before pulling both. Or you may even tug on the other one to even them out before pulling both. In general, you’d end up pulling both strings right? My roommate did the left-right maneuver and the gears got stuck. You’re not milking some cow, girl!

On Tuesday, the maintenance guy came over to fix it. He also dropped me a notification on how much it would cost us. Not that it mattered since the roommate offered to pay for it. Guess the only fun in this accident was the conversation I had with the management. No, I didn’t hold any party last night. Yes, I tugged on it hard. My bad. “Next time, please contact us when it gets stuck. We’ll send the guys up to handle that for you.”

Puh-lease,
Vonnie S.
