Day 184 | Thursday, July 2 | 2009

Cloudy Weather...

Today has been nice and relaxing.  Got up this morning and went running with Caitlin, came back and cooked breakfast, showered and then later spent a lot of time studying.  It's been nice.  I am still waiting on some of the maintenance things to be finished in my apartment and it is a little frustrating.  Yesterday, the maintenance guy fixed the missing light fixture in the bathroom by adding a completely new fixture altogether.  He made a big mistake though when he left the light fixture turned on (without realizing that he didn't leave a way for the fixture to be turned off).  I came back home and the light was on and I couldn't figure out a way how to turn it off.  I called my landlord and told them the problem and they sent the maintenance guy back over.  He seemed baffled that he would forget about the whole thing on account of him thinking the fan switch was rigged up to control the lights.

Either way, it reminded me yet again of how scary-looking the maintenance guy is.  He has a bunch of tattoos scrawled on his arms and neck and today I realized he had an empty tear drop tattooed just below his right eye.  

I looked it up on the Internet today as to figure out what this might mean (I had previously heard that it meant that the person tattooed has killed someone in prison if he or she has a tattoo of a tear drop on their face) and the directory online told me that the person with an empty tear drop means that a loved one of theirs has been killed in the past or it means that the wearer has unsuccessfully murdered someone.  

I'm really hoping for the loved one killed.

Unsuccessfully murdered someone? Like, they tried for the heart but stabbed them in the arm?? Ew. Weird.

Yes. I am afraid that is correct. That is....it is what the Internet told me.
