Typical!

So yesterday afternoon who should show up but the landlord. Yes, M. Babec and the painter/plasterer/wallpaper guy ring the bell to inform me that work on the house will begin today and is that alright with me.

Well, I know he received our letter that said we would be gone from the 20th of July until the 28th of August. I know he got it because I sent it 'recommandé avec avis de réception' and the receipt has arrived here already. Soooo...they're going to start the work when we are only going to be in town for a few more days. Let's just complicate my life shall we.

He's starting the work on Thursday, but will not work Friday because it's a holiday. Why bother, why are they doing this? Just to annoy me? Just to see how much stress I can take? In addition, could we, this weekend, move everything out of the baby's room because he'll work in their on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday doing the plastering, painting and wall-papering. Sure, cause I've got nothing better to do.

And the real kicker, they want to work in the house while we're gone...so if they're going to do that couldn't they just wait until we leave to start the work, they've waited almost a year to start the work, is one more week going to kill them.

Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, the really good part is that they want me to pick the wallpaper and paint colors! Why!??!! Like I care at this point what goes in there, I won't be back, except maybe to oversee the movers in September!

All I can say is ... Typical!
