The 3 Day Notice

It was Thursday and she was on her way home from work. She thought to herself, thank God tomorrow is Friday. She climbed the stairs to her apartment, and saw a notice on her door. "Now what" she thought to herself. She entered her apartment and opened the envelope. It was a 3 day notice to pay rent or get out. What?? I paid my rent she said out loud. She went to her computer and logged on to her bank website and saw that her rent check was cashed on 12/5. She called the rental office and told them about the notice and about the cashed check. They said the manager would call her back. A few minutes later her phone rang, it was the manager.The manager said, " I see where you paid your rent, and I didn't give you a notice for your rent, I gave you a notice for $30.00" She asked, what is the $30.00 for?? The manager said "I don't know, but you've been paying it every month" She replied " I only give you my rent check, I've never paid $30.00 a month and I've been here for almost 16 years". The manager said is this one of your check numbers and she read off a 3 digit check number. She replied, "No my check numbers are 4 digits" "Oh my" the manager said. "I'm new here and I'll have to send this to corporate to have them figure it out". She then asked the manager if she had to make an appointment to renew her lease, as she had received a notice that she had until 12/31 to renew. The manager said," I'm too stressed to deal with lease renewals, you'll have to come in after Christmas, as I will have someone from corporate here to help me" Too stressed!! Did this person know how much stressed she inflicted on the person she gave a 3 day notice to???

Friday came and went without incident.

I think this check people to do a job that they dont know is just plain bad bussness its a warm body in a chair in an office but with no power or brain to think to solve any problmes. This is very poor poor poor managment. I hope you will live and be OK well it happens when we get older too. Ha Ha V
