die neighbor die (not really) teacherwriterguy: Alright,
This isn't a major life issue, but still. Here's what happened today:
After lunch, I come back and check my mailbox to find a note from my school's superintendent's secretary in it asking me to come see her.
Heart-rate rises. Not good to be called to the super's office. Not that I'm really expecting anything bad, but still it's out of the ordinary.
Anyway, apparently my next door nosy neighbor, during the 4 days inbetween when my wife moved out and when she notified me that she'd moved out (we were separated), decided that the house was abandoned.
So she CALLS the school where I WORK to complain and find out if I'm working there.
This is the same neighbor who, when we had first moved into the house and were doing a bathroom renovation, called city inspectors because SHE couldn't SEE the building permit from her window.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Ok, I'm better now.
Things I will not miss:
-my next door, nosy neighbor

Re:die neighbor die (not really) tupsie: Why cant people mind their own bussiness?
Re:die neighbor die (not really) LostTeacher: ok.... can totally relate to how freaky that message might have been.
was there a reason that they thought it was abandoned?? and did you come right back to live there after the 4 day period? and really, what was there to complain about (a really big problem for no one to be in and out of the home?)
and... on a more curious note, what was the conversation like with the super??
(maybe my name should be nosy teacher instead ;D)
Re:die neighbor die (not really) teacherwriterguy: I think one of the reasons they probably thought it was abandoned is because we WERE separated from Xmas to beginning of February, when I moved back home after she left. Since she doesn't drive, when we had heavy snows, she didn't bother to shovel the driveway or sidewalk.
And, of course, during the 4 day interval before I figured out she'd left, the mail was piling up in the mailbox.
But, that was 2 weeks ago. I've cleared the driveway, cleared the mail, been there every night. Even had pizza delivered a time or two.
The conversation with the super was more humorous than anything. He was like, "Err.. why is this ending up on my desk? Who is this lady?"
Actually, as soon as I'm done writing this one, I am going to go knock on their door and tell them:
-The house is not abandoned.
-My business is my own.
Not combative, just clear!
