Default A gentle newbie rant

Consider the context....I might buy a home tomorrow...so, the pluses far out weight this complaint...and honest feedback isn't a bad thing.

So....I went out late to get a bite and some cat supplies...coming back, in the dark, my regular gate was unavailable with a note that said use the Morse Drive entrance.

Error 1: No directions to said entrance. This is on the visitor's gate...guess what - visitors don't know the streets, yet.

My dinner (post gastric bypass) is quickly moving through the pipes. One hour later I find the Morse entrance. The young (sic) lady at the Morse entrance doesn't even know the street I am living on...she finds a card with directions...but, the card is bereft of distances on the directions and the street signs are tiny, not well lighted, so...I miss the important turn.

That was error 2. We are now over an hour into this adventure and the pipes are screaming.

Error 3: The next gate I come to...again, the guard has no idea about the street, he tells me to go back to guard no. 1 as he can;'t read the card due to age and has no idea about the streets. I beg the guy...call someone..police, a guide dog, a genie....he just points and says "go that away." I will stop talking about the pipes at this point...

Finally, the GPS kicks in and I get back to the house...1 1/2 hour into a return from Walmart.

Upon entering the home Rada, the kitty, who was forced to spend 6 hours in a box due to the flight...rolled over on her back and with 4 paws in the air, started to laugh. Very hard. Do you know the meow translation of "Karma?" I do now.

Rant over...
