What I learned today:

It is difficult to teach small business owners to budget the cost of their time spent at work when pricing jobs.

and

Some people, depending on the product, do not care at all about the price but would rather have their egos massaged by the product or service of their choice.

Too Much Smoke

Dec 14, 2003 12:21 AM

Tonight I was driven out of my place by smoke in my condo. I'm back inside now because I HAVE NO OTHER PLACE TO GO AT THIS HOUR! Every night this week I've had to endure different cooking fumes and smells from James catering business that he runs out of this building (are we even zoned for that here?). Tonight was by far the worst. James obviously does not care and Sally doesn't care either. Sally has even said I'm the only one to complain about this last time I tried to talk to her about it months ago. My place is freezing inside because I've had to open all the windows and the screen door to try to air my condo out. How can I be the only one affected by this????

Once again, for the second night in a row, my condo smells like a kitchen. The neighbor downstairs has a freelance catering business he's running out of his tiny kitchen and my place is already filled with steam redolent of onions and peppers and other various carribean spices.

I fucking hate this place.
