Real-life soap opera

Since I'm unemployed, I thought maybe I'd pick up a daytime soap to watch. After much deliberation, I decided on Passions, because I've heard it's weird and the kids seem to like it. As it turns out, I don't need to turn on the TV to get my drama fix. I just need to read my email.

Months ago, a bunch of tenants in my building decided we needed to get organized and fight The Man, and by The Man I mean the evil slumlord management company that neglects our building and its inhabitants on a daily basis. Naturally, I was delighted.

Things appeared to be going well until we had our first meeting with the building management. All was going well until one tenant loudly told another to fuck herself. This was probably not the wisest move, as it's important to be something of a united front in situations like this. Anyway, Mr. Go Fuck Yourself sent out a nasty email to the building afterward resigning from the tenant association.

Things heated up as the TA started negotiating rent abatement for tenants who were without gas for months on end. When all was said and done, the figure decided upon kind of sucked, and today everyone received a note under their door from one of the TA officers resigning because she didn't like how the negotiations played out.

This prompted another building wide email from Mr. Go Fuck Yourself. It was sarcastic. It was nasty. It was a bit surprising, actually. Then Rachel from 4 replied all and told him to keep his nasty emails to himself. And then Mrs. Go Fuck Yourself sent out an, "Oh no you din't just call out my husband!" It's awesome.

Are the building problems getting resolved? Nope. Am I thoroughly entertained? Yep. I'm also wondering if anyone who lives in this building actually has a job, because they all seem to have a lot of time on their hands. I can't wait for the next episode.
