East of Eton

I've lived in the same building now for four years. Seen a lot of tenants come and go. But I have a good location within my building. I have a corner suite. The patio has been unused since my last room mate left, but it's pretty decent. Very private. Why, you could scream your head off out there and no one would even notice. And I'm not joking. Very wide cross section of people here. But we know we're high class by our street names. Like Oxford Street and Wall Street and Eton Street. And we have both the Waldorf and the Astoria hotels in the vicinity. I've been lucky so far with the latest arrivals to my building. On one side the young Chinese couple I heard through my bedroom wall every night for a year and a half mercifully departed. I put up with a lot of crashing and slamming. And laughing and grunting. Then, yes, sometimes, the sound of me flipping and shouting and smashing - but I can do that all by myself! If it really bothered me I might go right to their door and yell something like, 'Hey! Wear some knee pads in there!' But they are gone. The tenant on my other side also changed. But I had no problems on that side. And I continue to live comfortably with the tenant over there (from over here.) And the new one in the bedroom wall is very considerate, I think. And they all have pleasant voices. I have chosen a smaller building to avoid the usual problems with other tenants. Anything under twenty units seems humane to me. Last year we changed to a new floor here. I helped out in my suite. Looks great. My mailbox is broken and I don't care any more. I'm just letting it jam and jam now. And I hope it swells up and starts breaking the other mailboxes. Until they fix my mailbox.
