a person who works for the landlord is at one of the properties talking to four of the tenants. she brings up the topic of female blondes, specifically the one on a well known game show who turns letters on a board, she mentioned how they were talking on the show about how the blonde female turning the letters had beaten out so many other applicants for the job and how the reason she got the job is how well she can do it when it is because she is a sexy white blonde, while if it was an asian turning the letters round wouldnt be made anything more than it is, it is something anyone could do.
she says how being an asian-canadian married to a blonde caucasian-canadian they will often talk about that sort of thing at home, and sometimes with her family but rarely with his family who all have an issue with that racial stuff.
a few weeks after that incident one of the tenants calls the land lords office and the employee who had been talking about vanna white answers. "oh we are understaffed so we take the receptionists place when she goes for lunch rather than have the answering machine turned on." she says.
the tenant says he is returning a call from another employee and if she is available to talk to him, the first employee says she will forward him to her phone and then disconnects him. he calls back and she's laughing when she answers the phone saying these things (phones) are more complicated than people think they are and then on the second try connects him to the person he wants to talk to. the first thing that comes to his mind about her not knowing how to forward a call, were her comments on dumb blondes several weeks earlier, that and secondly they would be better off with the answering machine.
