Two Incidents

It was a solo day for us yesterday in the office and everything went smoothly - until the end of the day. Just as we were about to lock up everything at 8 PM, we had an ecall alert. One of our newer residents couldn't get her air conditioner to come on. We've told people over and over to never pull the ecall cord unless it was an emergency, but she didn't have the use of her phone and didn't have any other way to contact us for help. It turned out that she just didn't have the thermostat low enough on the unit to kick-on.

The second incident occurred after closing at a few minutes after 9 PM when we received a phone call from a resident almost above us that he had a flood in his  apartment. We rushed upstairs and discovered that the water had been left running in his bathroom sink, with the stopper down, and the water was everywhere  - all over his bathroom floor and into the living room onto the carpet. He was watching TV with his lady friend and never noticed the water until it came into the living room. We grabbed a bucket and mop from the kitchen and Josie found a wet/dry vac in the maintenance room and we had it all cleared up within about 45 minutes. Just another "normal" night of on-duty calls.

With our managers being off and the Regional Director attending meetings at the home office in Salem, OR, we have heard nothing more on our "scheduled" trip to West Covina next Wednesday. We expect to have all the details today when these managers all get back to work.

Our Easter weekend is pretty much scheduled. Tomorrow AM we will go to church followed by a trip to the storage unit to pick up the fifth wheel and haul it to Menifee, CA, where the Thousand Trails Preserve - Wilderness Lakes - is located. It will be the first visit with our rig since we arrived in January and we are anxious to see how it has survived the long dry spell.

One more day today - a long one - and then it's 2 days off beginning at 7 AM tomorrow...
