apartment life just gets better and better

We are trying to make the best of this crappy situation but life just keeps throwing us more challenges with living in this apartment. Since the snow fall we have not had consistent television because the Dish that we have is apparently covered in snow (no shit!) and doesn't work when it has snow on it. No kidding, the technician that my husband talked to said that we would just have to wait for it to melt!! We got almost two feet of snow and this is Wisconsin once it snows it doesn't melt until March! We got the Dish instead of Charter originally because it would save us some money and we have had so many problems with Charter in the past that we didn't really want to go back to that again. I know TV should not be that big of a deal but it is how I relax and as pathetic as it is I have my shows that I do not want to miss. We finally got someone to agree to come out and look at our dish but they wouldn't fit us in until next Thursday! Crappy service.
The big apartment drama this evening however was over parking. We recently arranged for me to have a parking spot in the garage and were given the spot number by the building management. They seem to have given us a number for a spot that was already taken. The person who's spot we took, took someone else's spot. THAT person decided to just park the other person in! Tonight, the car that did the blocking had his car alarm going off for almost an hour! Imagine a car alarm going off in a garage that is located UNDERNEATH an entire apartment building!! There were some pretty pissed off people. One of which was the guy who's car was blocked in (he has twin little girls that I can only assume were being woken up by the car alarm). There were threats to "take it outside" by the two men and then HE (the guy with the girls) CALLED THE POLICE! So the cops came and started going door to door until they found out who's car was the original spot stealing culprit (that would be US!). They came to our door and asked us why we were parked in someone's spot. Chris said it was the number we were given but we would gladly move to an outdoor spot until we could get this sorted out.
Crazy neighbors!

We had such good neighbors in Stevens Point, oh how I wish for them back.
