As for the $$$ situation of where you live/your building/and all that other stuff...look, I get how expensive it can be where you live. My husband is from NJ and we have friends and family up and down the East Coast and we regularly visit and spend time w/those friends. Hell, my husband just got back from DC last week! We also have friends in CA...another very expensive area of the country. So, yea, I get it, I get, I geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet it. I think we all do. What I don't get is why your Mother didn't teach you that droning on and on about these topics is really rather crass. Not to mention...tiresome.
So, YES, I was laughing and I was serious about that fact in my first comment. I honestly thought you were joking about that Diva/Goddess BS. Sorry...I won't make that same mistake in the future.
FWIW -- I am happy...very happy, actually. But, I will admit that ill mannered boasting really does rub me the wrong way. Sorry. You have my permission to call me old fashioned.

I paid nothing. The building pays. This is a famous, landmark building. Pre war. And, penny wise, pound foolish in some things..is not why it is. WITNESS THE EXAMPLE OF the project I was given to replicate/replace the shattered ceiling shade.
Jimmy is also famous in my City...and the sharpest, most meticulous manager/owner, best businessperson I know. And time is money: the vendor in question is literally half a block from us; am sure Jimmy cut a deal with him and everyone wins.
If you still don't get, given what I took the time to share about myself to illustrate it clearly, that my calling myself what I did in that exchange was sardonic and self abrogating and FUN.....that I am the ANTI diva of all time.....I give UP.
I am not the assaulter here (nor was I previously or ever), nor the one who doesn't get things clearly and accurately.
Finis.

Which is why, I think.....the giant, also pretentiously presented phals are not that happy there.
Plus, at this time of the year, the lobby is like a meat locker freezing/no humidity. U think they like that? No, they hate that!
I only hope, when I get her, I don't discover all her roots are rotted. We all know, despite what is visible above, it's what you find when you knock it out and remove the medium....that matters.
We just make honest efforts, and, I think, that's the privilege. I hope I can save her!
