As I was walking up the stairs of my apartment building today while I was coming home from work, I noticed that there were some flowers in front of the door of the neighbor underneath me. I know she’s a woman, so I figured she must have some boyfriend (I know, I have such heteronormative thought processes) who sent her flowers for some occasion. Then when I made it to my floor, I noticed that there were also flowers in front of my door and the the door across the hall.

It turns out that they’re from the landlord. Now, I’ve lived in a lot of apartments over the years and I’ve never gotten anything like this from the landlord (maybe a card once, but that’s hazy). It doesn’t surprise me since the staff and landlord all seem to generally care about the building and the satisfaction of its tenants. It’s a very nice gesture!
