I was living in Manzanita Court and so I had to go through check-ou- t procedures. I have heard many complain about the employees who work in the office, but I never had any trouble myself until now. I needed the directors signature on a form and so I went over to the office at Juniper to have this taken care of. I went over at 10:30 a.m. and was told he would be in before noon. I returned about 11:45 p.m. and was told he wasnt there and that I should come back at 1 p.m. I went back at 1 p.m. and was told I had just missed him and that he would be back around 3 p.m. I returned at 3 p.m. and had to wait 40 minutes before he showed up.
