Almost the end of week 2

[norsegirl]

Almost the end of week 2 of working for the city and all is going well.  I'm actually starting to pick things up and be useful.  I still very much like my co-workers and the environment here.  And of course I'm liking the increase of pay from any of my other jobs.

Only downside to my life right now is I'm kinda sick.  Not sure if it's the spores or if I've finally caught Jason's cold.  Either way, it sucks.

On the subject of spores... Jason called the landlord at lunch yesterday because they still hadn't been in.  They seemed unconcerned as usual, and instructed him to just clean the wall off with bleach.  He took them literally at their word... and wiped the wall down with undiluted bleach.  The wall now definitely requires replacement as there are sponge-shaped chemical burns on it.  Heh.  And the room now smells like a swimming pool.  We slept on the couch last night.  Ugggh.

You know, I'd be making a phone call to the local tenant's authority and/or health department. That kind of mold problem is a major health hazard. And where's the moisture coming from? an adjoining room? the roof? it's only going to get worse if it's not addressed from the source.

This would be like gluing cardboard over a mouse hole in your wall...

I agree- definately take some action there. I've had some pretty bad reactions to mold (I'm allergic to it, so I get the reactions faster), and you definately do not want to be exposed to it for very long. I wouldn't be surprised actually if Jason's cold is a reaction to the mold.

Another second to this -- get your landlord in pronto, or call the envirnmental health dept. Mold is very bad! And it can't just be fixed by spot-cleaning the surface (the evil lurks within!), so it has to be properly assessed. Be cautious, especially with your pups and with your asthma!
