MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
We were supposed to move the 20th. Over a month ago they told us that no, we can't move on the 6th when it'll be moved out of, we'd have to pay some bogus 'transferring early' fee or something if we did and it was like $250. So we planned to move on the 20th. Then a week ago they called to say that someone is interested in our apartment and wants in ASAP so can we move in on the 6th instead? ...well, ok. Short notice, we hadn't packed much, but ok!
So today, one day before we move in.. apparently the people in there had a dog and the floors are really scratched up. Instead of checking out the apartment before calling us they just assumed everything would be fine and they wouldn't have to do anything other than give the walls a cursory layer of paint and scrub down stuff.
But.
Oh, but.
But now they looked into the apartment and realized that the old tenant's dog scratched up the floors and they need refurbished. So hey, good news! We can move in next week instead!
..But we've got people coming from out of town to help us move who've already called off work. And we've got EVERYTHING FUCKING PACKED FOR THE MOST PART. And tomorrow is going to be in the low 80s and clear while next week? It's expected to be 90 degrees and there's a %60 chance of thunderstorms. Basically next week is a huge clusterfuck of storms and humidity and the worst weather to move in, ever.
Godamnit. Adam asked if we could just note that the floor is already kinda jank and it wasn't our doing and move in regardless, since we've got huge rugs to throw down over most of the hardwood anyway. That was an hour ago, the gal who called is asking someone higher up if that's possible, which I really hope it is.
I just really, really needed to vent. If we have to wait around in our apartment for another week I will be really, really fucking bent.
EDIT: Adam kept talking to them and they didn't budge. I spoke to them once and now they're going to rush order the floor refurbishing and we should be ready to sign the lease Saturday morning and move in right afterwards. So, awesome. Instead of a week long delay we're waiting one more day!
My powers of persuasion are mighty. Also I have a killer Grown Up Voice when I want to.
