Normal work stuff.

I'm an apartment manager which comes with its own interesting set of perks and shortcomings. 

PRO:  Free rent and ALL utilites!
CON:  Dim-witted residents that think it’s a good time to ask you about Community Policies while you’re in your pajamas, bra-less, walking your dog, at 10 o’clock at night. 

My least favorite part of my job is doing an Annual Inspection.  Meaning we give a resident 24 hours notice that we’re gonna get all up in their apartment and make sure they’re not hoarders, that they don’t have mold, or a meth lab.

While I think some people would enjoy being in someone’s apartment for the temptation of snooping it makes me morbidly uncomfortable.

I say morbidly because whenever I go in to someone’s apartment 98% of the time I am terrified that I’m going to find a dead body. 

I’ve never been traumatized in any sort of “rotting corpse discovery” sort of way.  But I’m going blame the 13 some odd seasons of Law & Order SVU marathons that I get sucked in to. 

Once I’ve secured the apartment and double checked that there are no carcasses, my next overwhelming fear is that this otherwise normal appearing resident is going to throw a plastic bag over my head in a  “SURPRISE! I’m a psycho and you're dead!” serial killer moment.

So..

Other than that, the free rent is pretty good.
