Like Pulling Teeth

Dealing with the superintendant is like pulling teeth. To date I still have not been paid for the hotel or for the laundry. Last word I heard is that I can take it off next month's rent but I am not holding my breath on that one. Guess I don't want to count on something and have it fall through. Supposedly the landlord from Ottawa is going to be in town soon so we'll see if that makes a difference. I just want what they promised me... well and maybe for them to cover the cost of the cable reconnection. Is that really so much to ask?
