Move

Julia from Avondale

Hi
After this latest storm i need to move my family. We rent. The house is two story. We have had a leak come in the lower floor room twice now. It's a old house and there has been wooden slats/boards put on top of concrete and the water is coming under them. Its starting to move further into our room. I came home from shopping on Friday to find water in our room and leaking water from the top floor. Carpet saturated again. Our property manager doesn't take any of this seriously and i have had enough. We can't really stay here because our dad is in a wheel chair and is being cared for at home with us. So for his sake we need to move. But unfortunately it needs to be into a home that has two living quarters for the two families that like to stay together to help care for him. Please if anyone has such a place in central Auckland that would suit especially the blockhouse bay /hills borough area we will be stoked.
We are good paying tenants and just want somewhere warm and dry. We have a dog and a old grumpy cat but we love her. Catch me anytime.
Julia - Plus thanks everyone for the feed back on the water rates seems water is on all our minds at the moment take.

What it feels like speaking with a MAGA American:

Markus from Green Bay

Me: “Your total is $44.19. Cash or card?”
The customer hands me a credit card but the chip inside it has been hole-punched out.
Me: “Uh, I don’t think this will work.”
Customer: “Why not? It hasn’t expired and I have money in my account.”
Me: “Sir… the chip is gone.”
Customer: “I didn’t want the chip.”
Me: “The card won’t work without it.”
Customer: “It just means I can’t enter my PIN, but you can still swipe it.”
Me: “I don’t think it will work, sir.”
Customer: “Just swipe it.”
I swipe it to prove a point.
Me: “It’s not working, sir.”
Customer: “Then you’re doing it wrong. Swipe it again!”
I do so again with the same result.
Customer: “Maybe you should swipe it so that the magnetic strip isn’t the thing being swiped?”
Me: *Swiping it as suggested.* “Sure, why not? About as much chance of it going through without the magnetic strip as there is without the chip – oh look, it didn’t work.”
Customer: “Your machine must be broken!”
