It’s rust! No, it’s silver!

Our landlord is quite terrible. Absentee doesn’t even begin to describe them. As soon as we can, we’re out of this building.

The front stairs leading into the building have become in quite the state of disrepair. They looked horrible – the tiles were falling apart, the paint had chipped off completely and it really wasn’t an attractive entrance (it shouldn’t be a surprise then that we’re not exactly “proud” of where we work).

Last week the building manager started painting the staircase. He was painting it a nice cranberry-rust colour that matched so well with the exterior of the building (tan and pink – yes we think we’re in Florida). They finished two-thirds of the staircase and then let it dry before going back the next day and completing the other part. Only they didn’t do the last part.

Today I went out for a coffee (shh!) and noticed that they had repainted the cranberry-rust part. They painted it silver. I’m not sure what kind of mistake the original colour was but silver does look a lot better.

Five more months and we should be out of here.
