By this, I mean feeling like I've put a lot of effort, time, energy, patience, and compromise into something only to find out that said effort, time, energy, patience, and compromise just wasn't enough; particularly because things weren't happening as fast as planned.
But what I hate worse is the fact that plans had been set, signatures had been signed, and we had been put on a waiting list for a place that was already hard enough to get into... and suddenly everything just had to fucking change. I hate it when plans have been set and suddenly changed. Not because I don't want to put forth the effort to adapt to the change, but because all my time and effort, which I could have spent doing something more productive, are now all wasted.
You know that feeling you get when you're about to step into the realm of sleep and you suddenly feel like you're falling, so you jerk awake? Or when you're standing on a carpet that someone yanks out from under your feet? That's a lot like what this feels like.
Why does it have to be so hard to find reliability in situations as these? Actually, that's wrong. I guess what I should ask is why can't I find anyone that will put forth the same effort into something as I do? Is it really that hard to find that kind of reliability these days?
Now that I've vented, I'd just like to say to persons unnamed: thanks for making this situation so much more complicated than it really needed to get. I'll especially be thanking you when I can't get a lease because there isn't someone to fill your spot.
