APARTMENTMAN/ Government Budget Affairs Taken Over By Metermaids (Persons) In Effort To Control Budget Costs !

Description: As APARTMENTMAN (TM) stands behind the counter of his new day job pouring latte's at Starbucks, he watches the television screen and the reports from the newsrooms around the world. Government spending is rampant. The US Senate is being confronted with a demand for $3,000,000,000. to cover the cost overruns. " He hears the pleas of the government contractors that it is impossible to finish this job on time and for the budget originally submitted. Frustrated, APARTMENTMAN (TM) looks at his watch and realizes it is 8:02 AM. The parking meters have been operating for almost two minutes. Using all the skills sharpened through years of practice, APARTMENTMAN (TM) leaps over the counter in a single bound, dodges an airborne latte and sprints for his car. Arriving at his auto at 8:03 AM he sees the white piece of paper neatly tucked under his window wipers. In a flash he realizes the answer to the problem with government waste, cost overruns, and failure to finish government contracts on time. We must employ the most efficient, most time conscious members of the elite government employees to oversee all government operations-the metermaids! (Or if you prefer meterpersons) Satisfied with his discovery, he now returns to the ever present demands of apartment hunting in Boston. Here is what he finds. <br /> <br /> DIMENSIONS/ DESCRIPTION OF APARTMENT (The foyer is that hallway you just entered into. If you don't like the French, and there are many 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 an old fashioned metal sink. (Now you may realize why you felt surrounded by Boston's History when you entered. It is because this sink was probably there when George Washington visited Boston.) Not to worry, however, since the sink can/will be easily replaced when you decide to rent this as your new home. (I believe in the power of positive thinking.) However, while the sink may be somewhat dated, the new owners have already begun the renovations with the new 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 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 a huge 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 (2001-2010) (James V Castelli) <br /> <br /> <br />
