(no subject)
I've ended up doing bounce-trips* to Auckland twice in the last two days, to deal with one specific real estate personage. On Monday, I went to view a property which was NOTHING like the pictures, was less than amused, and was going to let things lie. Neha (my roommate) didn't know I'd gone to see that property, called the agent, and the agent told her I'd been there, and was asking if she could ask why we didn't go for the one I saw on Monday. We told her, and then were told that WELL, ACTUALLY the property that looked like the pictures was a different apartment in the same building, and I could see it on Tuesday. So I went. It was LOVELY AND WE WANT IT. But the agent says someone else has applied for it, and she'll call me today (Wednesday) and let me know if I should still apply. Two hours later, when I'm still driving home, I get a text, asking me to send in an application. I fill it out over the phone when Neha gets off work (at 10:30, ick, after teaching all day and then driving to and from Auckland in the pouring rain and eeewww city traffic), email it in before midnight, and crash.
Cut to this morning, when I get ANOTHER text from the agent saying that she's decided to offer it to us, and can I please come sign papers and make the deposit this afternoon, at 2.
ONLY I AM TEACHING THIS AFTERNOON. I reply, explaining this, and ask to move the signing stuff to tomorrow.
AND NOW SHE HASN'T REPLIED AND I'M TERRIFIED THAT I'VE SCREWED THINGS UP AND THIS IS A BIG DEAL BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY DECENT PLACE WE FOUND AFTER SPENDING THREE WEEKS SOLID SEARCHING.
