One Ecall on a Busy Day

Our first of the full days stretch was busy, as usual. The good news was that the management were all attending the 2 day class in Hemet and we didn't have our wasteful conference calls in the morning. We luck out again today for not having those to deal with. We had the usual resident fires to put out - those that locked themselves out of their apartments, nuisance kinds of problems with mail and mail boxes, making copies for residents that need to mail documents for insurance or other purposes and people that threaten to move out because they can't have something - such as the guy who wants DirecTV installed but is on the wrong side of the building and cannot have a satellite dish installed to get a clear signal.

There was one ecall during the day - the best time to have them since it doesn't get us out of bed. A woman had a hernia that was causing excruciating pain so we called the paramedics and they met her in the lobby and took her to the hospital. We have another ecall waiting to happen as one resident has extremely high blood pressure and I had to run to the nearby pharmacy to pick up a prescription for her that her doctor called in. She is constantly struggling with that problem and is a ticking time bomb.

We had more rain during the night which is making this a wet winter for this area. The higher elevations are even getting snow and ice. It may be a concern for us when we travel to Hemet tomorrow for our one day class. We'll keep a close eye on that.

It's another long day today as we work from 7 AM till about 8 PM once again. The long days aren't so bad with the meal breaks and the fact we are the only 2 people in the office. At least we get the use of the computers without sharing them with other managers. As mentioned yesterday, we don't how it is going to work with 6 people in the office at the same time. We'll be finding out very soon...
