I park at a distant location from the unit. It’s been months since I closely monitored the operations. I usually receive reports from the “runners”, a term I came up with while drafting the plan for their formation.

Every hand-in comes with a few challenges that I kept ignoring til today. I came to see the infrastructural deficiency because it kept reoccurring in every submission. The request for a renovation was a concern raised on every occasion.
