Attached is my response, what you do think? Appropriate?

I can tell you from personal experience when they get a little ice in Dallas they flip out, shuts the town down. I worked in the Facilities Dept. of a company that had 25.8M sq. ft. of space, 19.5 owned the balance was leased. I've heard it all from lizards in the lobby in Phoenix to a bum sleeping in an elevator in Brownsville to rats in the kitchen in Ballston Spa to an alligator in the parking lot in Winter Haven. It would feel great to send a nasty note back when someone complained with their hair on fire but my reply most often said I'll take a look and get back to you. After I hung up I'd go get a coffee and flirt with the girls in the call center.
I'm certainly enjoying retirement and making fun of people on a silly forum
