My cat loves to play in boxes . I like to set them up all over the living room and let him run wild. I sometimes feel bad because he has no other cats to play with, but he does a good job of keeping himself occupied. It boring to play with him all the time, so I'm glad he can play with himself.
I think it is sad that some people try to live in their storage units . It scares me to think that when I go in to get to some of my things at night, there could be someone inside that might attack me. I believe there should be more security to prevent this from happening.
I don't think it is nice to talk about people behind their back. One time at my storage unit , I heard people making fun of an employee. He was mentally disabled, and they were mocking his voice. I didn't say anything because it was not my business, but I felt it was mean. I went over and said something nice to him on my way out.
I have no idea what a storage house is. I have never heard of this term before. I think it is a place to store your things, but I am not completely sure about that. I guess I need to look it up. I think I will after I finish this blog, which is right about now.
I dont like to brag, but working for the storage industry is pretty easy. Basically, we help our customers get what they need. Thats about it, really. I like to brag about where I work because all of the people are really nice and cooperative. I wish other people could work in such a fun and upbeat place.
There are a lot of moving supplies associated with packing up a 4 bedroom home. That is just what I have had to deal with for the past week. I have a friend moving out of his home, and I offered to get his supplies. However, I now realize I should have never applied for this job.
A lot of my friends are stubborn. I have told them many times that they do not have to pay for storage . They insist on paying over a hundred dollars a month just to keep boxes of junk. If they would just go through them, they could fit the remainder in their homes. I will never spend money on a unit unless I have to.
I have a cat. While I am not allergic, I do still sneeze more than before I got one. I try to keep his hair picked up, but it still manages to make me sneeze. I even went to my storage unit and found my cats hair on my winter clothes. I feel like I am swimming in hair.
Sometimes I get really cold in my unit, even though I have a climate controlled storage unit . I have asked the manager of my property what the average temperature is, but he always says about 75 degrees. It sure doesn't feel that warm, but sometimes I feel like I am cold blooded.
I have begun to wonder if storage units are really as safe as people say. In the last few years, I have heard more and more reports of incidents at different facilities. Most place have good security, so I'm not sure what the issue is. I believe it might also be the economy. As more and more people struggle, they turn to crime.
