Description: APARTMENTMAN/ Superhero Cape Arrives By UPS. With Cape In Hand "A" Man Can Now Find You A Home !!! <br /> <br /> As APARTMENTMAN (TM) sits at his desk he bemoans the fact that he cannot go for a flying journey around Boston until his super hero cape arrives. I can hear you asking, Where is it ? Well, APARTMANTMAN (TM) ordered it from the super hero 'cape warehouse' out west and they promised to send it out by UPS ' ASAP'. Did it get here ASAP ? Of coarse not which is why APARTMENTMAN (TM) is telling you this story. After waiting forever for the cape, APARTMANTMAN (TM) came home one day (Tuesday) to find the famous UPS sticker attached to his door. 'We attempted delivery. Next attempt will be after 5:00 on Wed. How much after 5:00 is the wonderful mystery of the UPS System. Thinking he could find a better way, APARTMENTMAN (TM) calls the infamous 1-800 number since he knows his satisfaction is paramount in the mind of Corporate America. After 20 minutes of being told that his call was important to them, a mechanical, emotionless voice tells APARTMENTMAN (TM) to just enter the bar code number and his package will be held for him at the station. Jumping with glee our hero follows the directions and smiles to himself as he anticipates picking up his cape on the morrow and resuming his airborne antics, cape in hand or, actually, on back. Arriving at the UPS station as instructed, our hero approaches the counter ticket in hand. The clerk takes the ticket, punches in the computer and voile tells APARTMENTMAN (TM) that the package is out on the truck to be delivered today. <br /> <br />"Wasn't it requested to be held here says our hero? " <br /> <br />Looking at his computer screen the clerk replies, "Yep it was but our communication system is not terribly good. Is there a customer service number I can call here ?" <br /> <br /> " Well actually you can call the 1-800 number and maybe they can help you. ' <br /> <br />So there is no local number or person I can talk to to help me get my package ? <br /> <br />'That's correct.' comes the response." <br /> <br />Knowing the importance Corporate America places upon individual consumers and customer service APARTMENTMAN (TM) decides to forego the quicksand like swamp of the 1-800 jungle. Frustrated, but not yet beaten our hero takes to the streets and what does he see but a UPS truck. Pulling up behind the truck he warily approaches the driver and asks if he has the package sought. No replies the driver but here is a local 617 number to call. Like magic, the number is dialed, a human answers the phone, and within an hour the package is located and delivered by the truck driver who took the time to give him the phone number. Is he the head of human resources ? Is he the head of customer service ? No, just a driver without a title, trying to help. With cape securely on his back APARTMENTMAN (TM) can now fly over the apartment you have been patiently waiting to hear about. <br /> <br /> <br />DIMENSIONS/DESCRIPTION OF APARTMENT <br /> <br /> As you enter this home and see the newly refinished hardwood floors you feel the history of Boston surround you. Why you feel the history of Boston surround you is a mystery to me, but it makes for a good beginning. To the left as you enter the foyer is a closet and to the right of the foyer is the kitchen. (The foyer is that hallway you just entered into. If you don't like the French, and there are many at this moment who don't, you might prefer the old fashioned English version and just call it the entrance.) Anyway, on to the kitchen. The kitchen, which measures 8 feet x 10 ft, features new wood cabinets and dishwasher. Next to the dishwasher is the gas range. Not a wimpy little toss out the window gas range that you see in so many apartments, but a full blown eat your heart out turkey basting gas range. There are also two windows in your new garden of gastronomical delights. (These may come in handy for tossing any less than edible creations as you test your culinary aptitude against the fortitude of your hopefully devoted significant other.) Next as we leave the kitchen we pass by the bathroom. (This may be just a fortuitous placement of rooms depending, again, upon your mastery of the mysteries of fine dining.) As you enter the bathroom, you are presented with a color I have chosen to call Sherwood Forrest Green. (If you wondered how I arrived at Sherwood Green tiles it went something like this. The tiles are green. The cabinets are wood. I think wood and green I think trees. Trees are found in a forrest. I used to like Robin Hood stories as a kid. Robin Hood hung out at Sherwood Forrest. Hence the tiles are now Sherwood Forrest Green. So there you have it,) Further along and to the right is the bedroom which measures 11 feet x 12 feet with two windows. To the left of the bedroom is the living room which measures 20 feet x 11 feet with 2 windows facing northeast. This is a truly large room with newly refinished hardwood floors which along the north wall features two Marie Antoinette wall mounted flame flickering light fixtures. There is no reason to call them that except I like the way it sounds and the lights actually do look nice on the wall. Great new management company/ownership. Laundry in the basement and steps from the T. Call ASAP to see. Copyright (2004-2010 ) (James V Castelli) <br /> <br /> <br />
