so i'm moving tomorrow. yay! but here's everything that's wrong in a nutshell:
my roommate and i had planned to pack all day and go to the new apt in the evening. but her bf is also moving today. so what does she do? she's helping him all day and doesn't even tell me. it's not 10:30, her bf says her phone is dead, but she hasn't been here or called or texted me all day.
so i'm left all by myself. i was still planning on bringning a few things to the new place. i talked to the building manager and he says that the workers just finished the floors and they need to dry for 24 hours. so not only can i not take things over there, i have to ask the movers to come later, to give the floors enough time to dry. but the work is all done and i can go get the keys.
so i head up to harlem, a long trek from sunset park. i've told the super for the past few days that i would be getting there between 5 and 6 to get them. so i went out there call the super no answer. i walked around for a while, called again. no answer. i called the building manager, no answer. someone let me in the building, since it's cold outside. i kept calling and calling. no answer. i did that for an hour and a half. i knocked on his door. the manager said the workers left the keys somewhere in the basement. so i looked all through the basement, even though it was weird and scary. nothing. kept calling both the super and manager and no answers. it's been an hour and a half now. i was waiting in the basement and decided fine, i'll go to the basement one more time, look EVERYWHERE and if i can't find it, i break into the apt and unlock the door, so i can at least get in tomorrow. i get in the elevator and it gets stuck. i was getting really frustrated. i was sitting there like, should i call someone. should i call the fire dept? or wait for someone to push the button? I was so frustrated a started crying. after 10 or 15 minutes someone came by and pushed the button and the door opened. i walked up to the 5th floor and decided just to break in. i'm not as good at it as the realtor was. so i went back down to the basement. the people that opened the elevator were there. it was the super's nephew. he called the super, and the super's mom. but no one knew where he was, but they said he would be back soon. so they told me to wait in the lobby and they would let me know when they heard from him. so i went to the lobby. a few minutes later, the guy's friend came up and said are these your keys? i found them on top of the meter and i had to climb a ladder. i tried them on all doors and thank god they worked!
so that was my day. all MY stuff is packed, the living room and kitchen still need some packing, but willa will just have to help me with that tomorrow, along with whatever else she has to pack. i'm not doing it just because she decided not to show up.
phew. packing is stressful.
