Introducing Audrey

Audrey is a Gryffindor through and through. 

We love to torment Audrey at work.  When she says that an owner has invaded her personal space, we must stand close to her.  If she tells us she needs help with something, we offer help the next time she gets post-its from the storage room or paperclips a document_  When Audrey walks by our department, we wave and say hello as if we have not seen her in years.  And then we repeat ourselves several times.  Audrey always smiles and giggles.  One of these days she will go postal and we will be sorry.  But for now, we must torment her. 

Audrey would like to write a book.  It will be a book about all of the ridiculous things that owners have said to her.  You would be surprised at the crazy requirements some owners inflict on their potential tenants.  Pets, for instance.  Many owners don't want dogs in their unit.  Fewer dislike cats.  One owner indicated that the "kitty" must "make the poo-poo in the box."  The vast majority, however, will accept small caged/aquarium-ed animals.  The comment that convinced Audrey to compile a list was the owner who told her, "I don't want pets in my apartment.  Not even goldfish.  Goldfish are nothing but trouble." 

I gave Audrey a gift certificate to a book publishing website so that her dream could come true.  That was only 1½ years ago, and I am sure she is hard at work putting the finishing touches on her magnum opus.  Hi Audrey.  How are you, Audrey?  Hi.
