Hilarious

Every year or so, the City sends round inspectors to my apartment building. The landlord tells us it's to inspect the fire alarms but in actuality, the inspectors are checking for habitability: critter infestations and broken doors and such. I don't know why he thinks he needs to lie-tell on us. It doesn't matter to us since our building is very well-maintained, one would never suspect the building is over a hundred years old. But, because it's rent control, the City assumes el propietario es un slumlord which I think embarrasses him, hence the high maintenance. He gets very nervous and suspects all us tenants are in cahoots and are keeping a massive rat population secret from him. Either that or it's code for "flush your stash."

What this means to me is that I will have a passel of City and Landlord types traipsing through the joint on Wednesday which will force me to pick up all my mess from the floor and maybe find my BT headset and my Gorillapod. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Also, ha ha ha ha ha! I hope this doesn't scare anyone. From some webmd-type health website:
