• I just got a visit from my landlord's handyman. He came over to scrape the moss off the roof, and then we had a little 'chat' afterwards.

  I've always thought of him as an easygoing guy. But today he ended up livid. What he had done was this: He added up all the money he'd have made by cutting the yard and watering the plants over the past two years if I hadn't lived here, and decided to get pissed off that he hadn't made that money.

  Now he's going to call my landlord and tell him to demand that money out of me, because I haven't been cutting the grass.

  Har!

  Update: Dude came back a few hours later with a clothes washer (something he promised to do months ago), and a much-muted attitude. Just like everyone else: He's human after all.
