Big White is AWESOME! Seasonal Staff & Beer to give away...

Mid Season Blues...
So here we are start of February and the mid season blues seem to have hit a few of my tenants.

I mentioned I occasionally bring tenants beer...? The good tenants... the ones that pay on time? Of course there is the occasional hiccup, when things happen beyond control... force majeure (French) in latin casus fortuitus... ooh Lummy Pie, big words there... Emergency dental work maybe... buying a new car... er... not so much.

Serious bit - bit boring really but... you know... You can look at this picture instead...

Owners have their beautiful property, proud of it, maybe they are not using it this year... maybe they will rent to seasonal staff - but you know, nice ones. Cos they have $100's of thousands invested - furnishings to electronics, artwork to appliances. They have mortgages to pay, strata, utilities, hot-tub maintenance, cable, internet... tons of stuff. So, they say to me, find some good tenants... okay, I will... maybe...

So I try. 
At the beginning it is all "we are the best tenants ever..." "we won't trash the place..." "we will pay our rent on time..." "we won't have parties..." "we are looking for a quiet place..." Really...? "Yes Mr. Pickles... we promise... :)"
"Do you have a reference from your last landlord?"
"Well, no... you see what happened... there was this party..."

So... half way through the season and we have got over some of the bigger celebrations...

• Aussie Day...!!! Yay...! Let's drink beer!
• New Year...!!! Yay...! Let's get drink champagne... and beer!
• Christmas...!!! Yay...! Let's get drink wine, beer and shots!
• Season has started...!!! Yay...! Let's get drunk!
• It has snowed...!!! Yay...! Ditto!
• First pay check...!!! Yay...! Let's go out, and drink beer!
• Got drunk... then got laid...!!! Yay...! Let's get drunk again...!
• It is my day off...!!! Yay...!
• Snowed again...
• Got paid...
• Snowed... got paid... got laid... and day off... and my STI cleared up... ditto, ditto... ditto.

So, back to beer... if my "we promise, we are really, really, really good..." tenants, break their promise... I don't give them beer. So...

• If you have one parking spot, but occupy four spots... No beer for you!
• If you punch a hole in the drywall...? No beer for you!
• If you are repeatedly late with your rent... No beer for you!
• If the owner receives a noise complaint... and again... and again... No beer for you!
• You have a party in the hot tub at 3am and keep the neighbours up... repeatedly... er... let me think... Yes...! No beer for you!
• You leave your garbage outside, and the ravens get at it... and you don't clean up...? I think that qualifies... No beer for you!
• You smoke in your apartment... "I don't smoke..." is not an excuse - Pot counts! No beer for you!
• You use your neighbours hot tub...? Without permission...? But you were drunk...? Oh well then... No beer for you!!!

Hey look... I have beer left over this month... woohoo!

Leaving Early...

Not cool. You made a commitment, signed a contract, committed yourself to your employer, room-mates and landlord/property owner. If you leave you create problems and extra work.

• So if you split with your boyfriend and met a new squeeze... not my problem.
• If you got a job in the mines in Australia... not my problem.
• If you decided to leave and go travelling to South America... not my problem.
• If your beau back home is missing you... awwww... so sad... not my problem.
• If your beau back home is running around with another guy/girl... you are probably better off... but not my problem...
• If you broke your leg... okay, not a bad excuse.
• If you got fired for repeatedly turning up late... not my problem.
• You have a bad hair cut...
• You ran out of money... really...? Then yes... still not my problem.

There, good, feel better now.

But... but... but Mr. Pickles... you said beer to give away...?
Yes I did... let me think about that... whilst I drink these...
