Well, I just wanted to share some of our little issues with the office lately as well as our apartment. Right now, we have decided to look for a new place. We prefer something far from the main (read: polluted) roads and not on a high-rise apartment complex. We still want to stay within the vicinity though. The past few days, we have also been dealing with leaks in our office. It has gone to the point where the ceiling has holes now from the water damage. The administration here is not very helpful. They have only come here to repair one Saturday and didn’t finish the work. Today, something equally bad happened: airconditioner stopped cooling. When we called the engineering of our building they first told us that they will check from the outside. After a few hours we tried to follow up on them and this time they said that it is not anymore their responsibility (!!). At this point, we just called our local partner who usually deals with stuff like these. Tomorrow, the owner of the office unit will be sending someone to deal with it. Let’s see what happens next.
We have cancelled our plans to put partitions due to the fact that we no longer see ourselves staying here next year if not earlier. We are pretty sure by now we won’t be renewing the lease.

With regards to the work, MrC’s team is on a crunch time now. They even had to do overtime last weekend. So, it’s really quite sad that while everyone had to work a little extra hard these days.. the facilities are not working so well.

It’s hard to deny that the pollution is bothering us a bit. We have put a 3M filter and it turns black after one week. We also have an ionizer/air purifier that also turns black after a couple of days. It seems that our patience is running out also with regards to our apartment. We need a bit of order and breathing room and looks like the place just isn’t something we see ourselves staying for more than 6 months.
