7/17/07 - Gross Guy

11:30 - Gross Guy (who shares his first name with a crazy comedian on a current NBC sitcom and a formerly anorexic actress who appeared on a 1980's ABC sitcom, and whose last name is a type of ring that changes color to reflect its wearer's current disposition) dropped off some stuff today. He reached across the counter and tried to hold my hand (I jerked it back, like I normally do) and asked, "So are you going to give me a kiss?" to which I gave him a very mean stare. Then he said, "So I guess I'm not getting a kiss?"

This guy is gross. He's asked me out and made comments to me before, and I question his sanity. He's 34 and drives a big red truck and has a red cell phone. Normally wears a backwards baseball hat and sunglasses. Claims that he has four sisters and therefore understands women's boundaries but his actions would suggest otherwise.

7/16/07 - Tenant's check bounced

10:38 - Mail carrier JUST arrived. Received notice from Chase that Tenant's rent check (which I deposited a week ago on the 10th, as per his request) bounced. Tenant is currently not present in the store.

Current status: awaiting deluge of excuses.

7/10/07 - Deposited check

This morning, I deposited Tenant's rent check, as per his request that I didn't deposit it until at least Monday. I waited until today in case he wasn't able to deposit Saturday's funds until Monday morning.

7/07/07 - Tenant's rent check via RK

15:05 - JUST received rent check from Tenant. (I got it from RK who went to see Tenant to talk about liquor license stuff.) The check is the full correct amount, but it is dated 7/09/07. Tenant told RK that since they were closed on Fourth of July, there wasn't enough business (which IMHO is ridiculous because it's not like they should make up one month's rent in one week). Tenant told RK not to deposit until Monday because he will then have deposited enough... which is strange since banks are usually closed on Saturdays, so when will he be able to deposit enough cash?

Also. Junior asked me last Tuesday if we were going to be open on Wednesday (Fourth of July). I said no and asked whether he'd be open. He said, "Yes, we're always open. No vacation for us!"

Somebody is lying here.

16:10 - Asked Manager soon after if Next Door was open on the Fourth. Manager affirmed then laughed when I repeated Tenant's story to him.
