10/15 Laundry DAY

Ok.... i have no clue where to begin. I guess i'll start with the fact that I have been putting off cleaning my clothes for about a week and the end result was a very large smelly heap of clothing. The foyer has one washer and one dryer in a very, very small, small room on the bottom floor for 140 people. This small room has 2 keys (I know what you’re thinking, “why are there 2 keys and only one washer and one dryer?”…I have no clue. If they thought that would help speed up the process of using the washer and dryer, they were wrong cause it doesn’t. It only makes it worse). So there are 2 keys to the laundry closest…whoops I mean room and residents are only allowed to wash their clothes after 2pm Monday through Saturday. Nothing is open on Sunday, NOTHING.  The room is closed between the hours of 8am and 2pm every day. Now in order to get the key the office must be open but the office usually closes around 6pm. Sometimes the staff is in the building during off hours but you must track them down and they usually are only around until 9pm at the very latest. So our window of opportunity to wash clothes is really short. Only about 42 hours a week, but no I’m really not complaining about that small window of opportunity, I’m really upset about the ways one must get the key. There is no organization with the handing out of the keys. However after stalking people for days or harassing the front office endlessly one is able to obtain the key. It took me hours, I probably started around 11am looking for them. I know what you are thinking, “why would they hand out keys if the laundry room doesn’t open until 2pm?” wow that’s a great question…. I have no clue. But anyways I first went to the office at 11am to request the key at 2pm but the secretary informed me that both of the keys were out of the office and that I had to track them down if I wanted them. Needless to say I finally found the keys and was able to do my laundry. I finally got done with my clothes at 10pm. (I only did 2 loads of laundry) Yes it was a long day and I’m not exaggerating. I managed only to get my laundry done for the whole day. Lol… glad it’s done though cause I was really running out of clothes.
