A different part of town

Today they had me in a completely different area of town, which had me in parts I swear I haven't been in before. My first job I was let in by a rather attractive younger woman in her bathrobe. She went upstairs and about 10 minuets later came back down dressed with her screamo looking boyfriend in tow. The house was really weird, there were all these slopes going in different directions I even tripped at one point.
The second job was the house of a very old woman. She was very apologetic about how slow she answered the door, for she had only recently had her hip replaced. It was her brother's place and apparently he has Alzheimer's disease. He wasn't around at the time, but she was telling me that he has become very mean since he started suffering from this disease. It took me forever to figure out what the problem was, which unfortunately threw my whole day off.
After that I was in a neighborhood that didn't look all that great, but this house was nice. The was a young guy there with his girlfriend. They spent the time playing video games. Someone had cut their cable, which really pissed me off.
The next job was in a town home complex, nothing too out of the ordinary.
After that I had to pick up some equipment, from and old lady. Looks like she went with Dish.
I worked through my lunch so that I could get caught up. The next job was exactly the home I would want. I don't mean that in some unrealistic way, but someday when I buy a home I want it to look like that. It was just well decorated. Apparently the family had been working on it for 5 years, from scratch from the sound of it. They also had the friendliest, most beautiful chow I had ever seen.
My next job was cancelled so I went on to a this rather quaint home. The woman had an accent that was somewhere between Spanish and Native American. After a while I had found the problem to be behind the entertainment stand. Her husband came home shortly and began to move the entertainment stand but it broke and things came flying off. I felt really bad for asking him to move it, but sure enough that was the problem and I got their cable to work.
The last job was in another town home complex. The woman there was nice, she said she lives with her two cousins and nephew there. She told she works at the local mental hospital, while her two other cousins work for a lawyer and work with children who have emotional problems. So their dinnertime conversations are always interesting.
