third time is not a charm
so much for the old adage about the third try.
this is so stupid.
we had the perfect apartment for us, for a perfect price. but due to not wanting to move until the end of the month, he is leasing it to a guy who wants to move in this weekend. i even had an idea that this would happen. i was calling this morning to tell him i wanted to move in sooner. but he already made an agreement with the guy because he didn't know this.
what the hell? he didn't check criminal records or credit, obviously didn't even check to ensure we were actually working... the place was perfect. in her school district so she could ride the bus even if we have problems with her mom giving her the car or getting her license. it was close enough to work to walk. it was close enough to a laundromat, grocery store, everything.
back to the drawing board. call, call, call. i really don't know when to schedule appointments, but i guess if i have to i'll go by myself. it just kind of hinders my ability to say that she's the one moving in if they check on credit. i'll think of something, though. i was a salesman for 4 years, and i used to give my mom excuses in the blink of an eye when i was in high school and on drugs or alcohol all the time. i'll figure it out.
i'm going to try to get appointments for today so if i like it i can go to her house and get the money for deposit. although we're going to have a lot less money with other places because this place we just lost only needed $100 deposit instead of the equivalent of a month's rent. oh well.
can't dwell on the losses of the past. must push on and work toward our goal. i shall stop typing and get back to it.
i am dreading the time when she wakes up and i have to tell her. she is going to be heartbroken. i don't think she knows how not to get her hopes up about things like this. i can understand, she really, REALLY wants to get out of her house. i will do everything in my mortal power to make that happen.
