Waikiki Update - 5

Upon return to the “old folks home” in Waikiki yesterday, the discovery was made that the primary security fob no longer opened the lobby entrance door of the new building. Earlier, the second security fob (that was obtained a couple of weeks ago) had been returned for recoding because it did not allow access to the older building (which is necessary to perform laundry chores). Apparently, the primary security fob was deactivated during the recoding process.


After some amount of nonsense to gain access to the older building, a phone call was made to the resident manager. The resident manager reluctantly responded and subsequently attempted to recode the primary security fob, but the level of incompetence with respect to the associated computer software became blatantly obvious. Fortunately, the numeric access code for the new building was provided. No security fob necessary.

Upon finally entering the newer building, the second security fob was found packaged and taped to the mausoleum door. The second security fob was apparently recoded for the new building, so a return to “square zero” was painfully evident. In other words, still no easy access to the older building to perform the laundry chores.

The laundry rooms on each floor of the new building are empty, the same as it has been for months. There appears to be no indication that any laundry appliances will be installed anytime soon. How do the other senior citizens tolerate that shit?

There is no question that the staff of the “old folks home” is most likely overburdened and underpaid. However, there appears to be a lot of resentment towards the senior citizen tenants. In empire, people are indoctrinated to despise the weak and the feeble. Why not have more compassion for decrepit senior citizens at the twilight of their lives? The case for motorhomelessness grows stronger by the day.
