Worst Valentine's Day-After Ever

Feb 15, 2006 15:27

Ok, I'm annoyed. I talked to my dad a little while ago. Apparently that apartment we were gonna get that he told me he was signing for this morning was taken. Not only was it taken, but it was taken before they even showed it to him. Yeah, real nice.

But there was a second apartment, pretty much the same as the first and just a block away. So fine, my dad's like "We'll take the other one, then." So they're like "Ok, fill out this application and do all this paperwork and write us a check and blah blah blah." And my dad's like "Well, I have to catch a plane. I was with you for 5 hours last night, you couldn't have me fill this shit out then? What, were you not aware that I might actually want an apartment? You think I was touring dingy studios for my health?" So now my dad's on a flight home, and he'll send the application and check in the mail first thing tomorrow (sloooooow), but he'll actually use FedEx (faster) so it gets there on Friday. Unfortunately, by Friday the apartment will probably be gone even though they know we want it and have a check in the mail. Assholes. So we're both pretty annoyed that this damn company wasn't up-front with us (though neither of us is surprised). They were like "Yeah, come sign the papers and have an apartment tomorrow" but when he got there it was all "Ooooooh denied! In yo' face, chumps!"

I was pretty pissed, especially because I had my hopes up. So called my mom and was like "This sucks, make me feel better" and she did. And then my dad called her so she had to go and I told her to make sure he knew I wasn't mad at him because I think he might have misinterpreted where my aggression was directed during our conversation.

BUT, my parents are going to New York together just for fun on the 9th-12th of March. If this doesn't work out, I'm going to meet them there, and we're getting this shit done. We'll use the same company because even though they stink and are mean and stupid, we'll have the application done already so we can look at places, sign the papers on the very kitchen counter upon which I will later be preparing much tuna helper, and saying here's your money now get out of our lives dickfaces!

The downside is that this would move my projected move-out date to April 1st. But hey, free trip to New York! I might as well get one more New York vacation in before I move there and it's not special anymore.

So that's the sitch. Don't tell my hot coworker because I told him today I was moving and we had the longest conversation we've ever had. I don't want to make him think I was lying just so I could chat with him. He was wearing his nerd glasses that look really bad on him, but I didn't care.

Anyway, I wrote this entry once before I talked to my mom and it was an irrational rant in which I hated the world and wanted everybody to die especially my kitty because she broke a glass while I was typing it. After I got off the phone with my mom, I deleted it all and wrote this instead. I don't hate the world. I'm just disappointed in how other people do business.

And I'm still mad at kitty, she's in her box and she's crying to get out and I'm like hahahaha foolish kitty you can never escape!
