"Warm, warmer,warmst!"

"Warm, warmer,warmst!"

The weather is nice outside but inside my little room it's just to warm. If I open the window in the evening the musquitos will come, I will see if I can build two screens for my windows at work, good idea, right? I need a window open in the night during summer, otherwise I will melt away. Today I spent some money again, there was the first half of the grocery, the second half I will do tomorrow, and there was the pressie for someone's birthday in Canada. The 1st of May, so I guess it arrives perfectly on time. I had to fill in a paper at the postoffice, writtting down what was in the present box and it needed a autograph. No problem!

Lately at Humanitas things are going not so well, there is to much complaining from the  residents. This is not good and that is not good, the staff this and the staff that. The behaviour from the residents isn't so good either, that's why the staff from Humanitas organized a resident meeting on the 27th of April. I'm looking forward to it, I haven't got much to complain, it seems I'm the only one not complaining, lol! Sometimes when I hear the residents talk about Humanitas, I'm suprised that it's not happening to me, maybe there overreacting or they wanna act tough.

Some stories I heard from the residents, "I pay way to much rent for my room, the staff's behaviour is rude, hygenie is way out of line here, the washing machines need to be fixed, the toilets are a mess," etc, etc. But the staff is complaining aswell about the behaviour from the residents. Some people are rude, some people are drinking alcohol in there rooms (what is not alowed) nasty pranks between residents, and for the third time in one month the fire alarm went off without any reason.

There was a fight with words last night between two residents, it was a guy and a woman. They have a room next to each other, and apearantly the guy's music is to loud. This woman just got here 3 days ago and had already a fight with her 'other' neighbor a day ago. The first fight was about a washing dryer that the woman turned on at 11:30 pm, the washing dryer made alot of noise and the door was open. (we have a little washing area with a washing machine and a dryer. The neighbor came outside his room and started to insult the woman about the dryer, (he was a bit tipsy) it went almost out of hand.

I talked to the lady a few days ago, she is a nice lady but complained that she didn't like it here at Humanitas, and she wanted to go as soon as possible. She is a complainer, I think she has a lot of stress inside her and she needs to calm down. If your knew here at Humanitas and you start to complain and let out your stress out towards  other residents, then your asking for problems. About the second fight, I can be short.The woman is full of stress, and has it difficult with relaxing. Every little thing what annoys her is bothering her huge. The loud music from the neighbor was a pain for her, but it wasn't that loud at all.

I was drinking coffee with her outside last night together with Frank, the neighbor had his music on and she complained again. (again, the music wasn't that loud) The neighbor tried to solve the loud music many times but no use, the neighbor even tried to solve the fight aswell three times, but no use. The rooms here have thin walls, he has his desk against the wall with the speakers under the desk, pointing towards the other wall. Now she has her desk at the same wall as he has, not so smart, right? He turned the music way down last night,  just that you can just hear it, but still. He came outside and tried to talk to the woman but it was getting out of hand. 

The talking towards each other went louder and louder, the staff had to come outside to ease them both. A guy and a woman from the staff came, and told them both to be quiet or go solve this fight inside the building. I stayed out of this, cause I don't want to get in trouble. I drank my coffee, and heared them and saw them. I think the best solution was to take them both to the office with a staff member and have both a good talk, or a different set up from there rooms. Maybe even split them up. The woman took off on her bike after the fight, He (the neighbor) gave up on solving the fight and disliked her from now on. Not a pleasant atmosphere, I tell you. It doesn't bother me that much, I get along with everyone, or trying too. 

So, yeah the resident meeting, The staff wants to get the nice atmosphere back , I hope they succeed. Some points the staff wants to discus are: House rules, old and new ones, fire alarms, chores, atmosphere under the residents, robbing and stealing. The resident themselves can make notes too, notes what they complain about. I have a few complains but not alot. In my eyes the staff needs to organize  things more with the residents, soon we will have Easter but there's no one, and nothing, nothing to do. A nice lunch together would have been nice, so that all residents are together and talk and have fun. Further the cleaning chores, it's always the same people who clean. And the rubbish some people make, clean up afterwards, it saves alot of cleaning in the end of the week. It's so easy.


Today was nice, ofcource with such weather everything is nice. Everything went well, the fight from last night was not mentioned. Good Friday today, the Friday before Easter. On this day Christians commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus on Calvary near Jerusalem. Thank you Wikipedia, aaah! Shame one me, when I was a kid my Mom and Dad teached me this. I was brought up Catholic, and went to church every Saturday or Sunday. When I got older, we only went with the Holidays, Easter, Good Friday, Christmas. Do I believe? Yeah I believe, but not in a extreme way like Christians do. I should go to the church with Easter, it's an idea. I will let you know if I went, I will surely think about it!
