this is where i mention that it’s STILL FUCKING SNOWING out there.
despite the waking up at all hours during the night, once to start reaming out my cousins for doing something stupid in my dream (need i mention my cousins weren’t there, so i was talking to an empty room), or the getting up at five a.m., or the leaving for the bus stop at six and only getting to work at quarter to eight, or even the fact that the only shoes i have with snow tread make my feet scream and blisters to appear from thin air, it’s kind of pretty out there right now.
it was actually nice walking in the snow to the bus this morning. so quiet, only the crunching of my feet, the gentle swish of my bag swinging against my hip and my gasping for more air to disturb the blanket of calm the snow covered the city in. that’s not to say i’m glad i had to take transit to work this morning, but hey, you’ve got to find your silver linings where you can.
considering that the weather may ruin any chance of getting up to m&m’s tonight and my hopes of hitting the blockbuster on the way home, silver linings are in short supply for a festive new year’s eve this year. good thing i had low expectations!
the apartment people phoned me back yesterday! i now need to phone some guy named mike to arrange to view the suite and start the application process. i’ve left him a message and, hopefully, he’ll phone me back today so that i might stop by on the way home since i most likely won’t be going anywhere once i hit my house. unfortunately, this is all happening a little too late to give a month’s notice to my currently landlords if i should get this other place. i hope one or two or three days aren’t enough to make them all bitchy about it. anyway, i shouldn’t think too far ahead. i haven’t even seen this place yet. it could be really scary on the inside or worse, smell like cabbage.
Maybe the upstairs neighbors run a spider breeding program. Things you need to ask about. ;)
We’re scared. Our landlord is likely selling the house to our current upstairs neighbor, who has been her handyman for ages. I know he could easily get twice what we’re paying in rent for our apartment where it’s located. :( I’m trying not to stress about it, but it’s not really working much.
You may want to suggest an arrangement I came to with some previous landlords when I was a few days late on giving notice: If the suite doesn’t rent out for the 1st of the next month, they can keep your damage deposit. If it does get rented, you get the deposit back (minus any actual damage etc.).
It’s a bit nerve wracking waiting to see if you will actually get that few hundred bucks back – but it keeps everyone happy.
pfft. judging from the crap heather’s put up with there, they should be glad she’s giving any notice at all. I say tell ’em to cough up the deposit. Ur place is in awesome condition. if they give ya any shit, let me know. I’ll pay ’em a visit ;) By the way, how are you moving ur stuff? Need any help? I’ve got access to a rather.. large moving vehicle ;)
BTW.. this isn’t snow. Have you seen the top of the coke’ yet? Bwaaha. now THATS snow ;)
never say no to a man with a big truck.
and that’s a great idea, jen. thanks! although, i’m with the fizz in that i think they should pay me when i leave for putting up with what i’ve put up with over the last five and a half years.
