Weekend or No They're finishing up working on the house, getting it ready to turn over to the broker to sell. They came into my apartment yesterday to work on the ceiling above my bathtub (with my permission, no problem there), but they left taking the bathtub plug with them leaving bits of plaster and dirt inside the tub itself. The plaster and dirt I can clean up. Life is short and I don't want to waste it being upset over the little shit, but taking the plug pisses me off.
