What did she actually do. I don’t care that there were a lot of complaints. I don’t care that people feel like she created a “hostile work environment.” I don’t care that complaints were ignored by SPS. Frankly, people turn up the volume on their indignancy for every damn thing so I don’t trust any of it. So I want to hear from someone who actually knows - what decisions did Anitra Jones make at Rainier that actually made things worse?

Plumbers came by to inspect sewage ejector pumps. They opened the basin and quickly closed it because apparently the basin walls were basically moving. Absolutely crawling with drain flies. It’s a huge basin. Hundreds of flies escaped even in the brief second that they had it open.

I dread the day I have to repair or replace the pumps. What do you think I should do to avoid unleashing millions of flies in my house? Just take the whole basin out and nuke it? Can I throw some sort of bomb in there to kill them all before working on the pumps? Should I try to shop vac them all somehow? Ugh, so gross. Any suggestions welcome.

I was thinking today “man, it sure would be nice to have a water feature in my yard.” But then I thought, “I bet there are downsides to that I just don’t know about.” Maybe the liner has to be replaced every year or something. I’m sure there are hidden downsides to a lot of things that people wish they had. The water feature thing was just an example.

Do you have a house feature (or even property characteristic, like living lakefront) that you know others pine for, but that actually isn’t all that great? Tell us!
