So the good news is, we get to keep living in our house, because we cleaned it sufficiently to satisfy the landlord who was apparently under the (badly mistaken, IOHO) impression that we were trashing his property. So he gave us two weeks to clean it up or he'd give us 30 days notice. Obviously that was not cool because our job-hunting efforts went to hell while we cleaned frantically every day. Still, could have been worse -- at the first meeting, he said he had wanted to give us "provisional" 30 days notice, then come back in two weeks and rescind it if we had cleaned it up sufficiently. And that would've sucked b/c I'd've been like, give me the notice now. Can you imagine trying to clean the house to stay, but at the same time you have to *pack* the house in case you don't make it b/c there's no way in hell you could pack up and be ready to move in the two weeks after you got the notice b/c you failed? Ick.
Anyway the bad news here is that I've apparently lost a good chunk of fairly critical FIB maps and I'm not sure what happened to them. Neither Vicki nor I would have thrown them out, and we were pretty much the only ones making Executive Throwaway Decisions. So either my brother/SIL threw them out by mistake, which I don't think happened, or they're still here somewhere. But the house is so spotlessly clean that I don't have very many places to look for them and I can't find them in any of the places I've checked on. Much distress...I spent a lot of time on those and I doubt I could accurately reconstruct them from scratch :-\.
