Upmteenth Re Inspection Revisited

Upmteenth (re:) inspection revisited... I experience dread-nought until April 19th, 2022 becomes yesterday when troubles with management here at Highland Manor hoop fully temporarily alleviated. Yours truly and the missus personal living space otherwise known as Unit B44 encroached, obtruded, and violated predicated upon fruit fly infestation justifying purported request for entry into our one bedroom apartment. Anticipatory anxiety put on high alert when the warden gave less than a week courtesy spluttering tone of voice she did angrily blurt nsync with her usual persona being wickedly curt treating us (myself and missus) like dirt gloating in our writhing adversity poor, sharecroppers, no matter yours truly indigent no matter exhaustive effort I do exert to secure living income/wage, thus flirt with visions of illusions grandeur analogous to taut pulled belt girt tightly around psyche whereby temple hurt with unbearable agony rendering these lovely bones inert. Grosse and Quade Management at 2 Highland Manor Apartments with Jackie Geiger at the helm finds yours truly afflicted with weak praise, cuz she left us (meself and the missus) in figurative darkness, whereby I electronically soulfully bellow and shriek seize the day silently critiquing as if writing op/ed for Time magazine and/or defunct Newsweek perhaps under heading summarizing healthweek, which hypothetical issue possibly considered virtual collector's item and subsequently unreal antique. Stress unrelenting linkedin to pesky of Drosophila melanogaster. Fruit flies undergo three stages of development before emerging as adults: egg, larva and pupa. At room temperature, fruit flies can develop into adults within one to two weeks. The egg and larval stages span approximately eight days, while the pupal stage lasts six days. The adult fruit fly lives for several weeks. Said pesky situation warranted extermination services to the tune between $100 and $175 for professional services cuz countless instances arose regarding swarm of itty bitty teeny weeny insect thus aforementioned tab relegated gifted as responsibility to yours truly as threatened courtesy no nonsense aforementioned heiress to the throne of owners Grosse and Quade. Methinks eviction in the offing, though I will assertively contact Fair Housing if figurative push comes to shove and broadcasts plea for alternate place to reside (ideally within Southeastern Pennsylvania) including affordable low income rent.
