Oh my god I have been sooooo busy. I'm on Spring Break, but it's not really a break, I'm still really busy!
And the apartment people are being soooo dumb. OK, I'm going to try to tell the story quickly:
We went to their office two weeks ago to fill out our applications. We paid our deposit and the application fee. The manager there said that the apartment we wanted to move into was ready, and he would give us a call just to check up with us.
And we didn't hear anything from them. So my boyfriend called them and asked if we could move in on Friday, the 25th. And the guy said he would find out and call him back.
And we didn't hear anything from them AGAIN.
So we called to double check, and they said that the apartment wasn't ready, that the carpets needed to be cleaned...Even though they told us when we filled out the applications that we could move in whenever we wanted, basically.
So we were like, "Well, we were told that it was ready." And the guy was like, "Let me call you back in 10 or 15 minutes." And so he didn't call me back. I called him back half an hour later to check up with him, and he said that the apartment was ready, he thought we wanted another one, and that we could move in on Friday.
I'm like, "Perfect! Sounds great."
So then we realized we weren't sure if we needed to pay the rent when we signed the lease or what. So I called them again today and they said, "You should pay the rent when you sign the lease, and it would be best if you could do that tonight."
I'm like, "Sure, no problem, we'll be there."
Then he calls me back and goes, "Actually, I can't find your paperwork, and I don't know what you paid when you filled out your applications, so I was wondering if you could come by tomorrow."
And I'm like, "NO! I cannot come tomorrow! Because it's not our fault that you've lost our paperwork!" (I didn't say that, as he had left me a message. =P)
So I had Jeremie call him back to find out what was going on, because I was sick of it. And Jeremie said the guy said that the manager was the one who had the paperwork, and they couldn't find our file, and so he didn't know exactly what we paid and what we didn't pay. And my boyfriend told me that the guy said he had only been there a week and a half, and that the manager was only there like two days a week. (How ridiculous is that?)
So we have to call him tomorrow morning again...He doesn't know if we'll be able to sign the lease tomorrow and move in tomorrow.
And that really pisses me off. It's not our fault that THEY lost our paperwork, or that the manager, who is only there 2 days a week, has the paperwork and no one else has access to them. And that they didn't call us back when they said they would. That's not our fault either. And the fact that they have no idea what's going on, and that Jeremie took time off work tomorrow so he could move stuff, and that I'm going to work at 7am tomorrow morning so that I can leave early to move my stuff AND not lose any money by working less hours.
And the guy that we talked to (not the manager, the other guy) kept saying to me before he answered a question, "I just talked to Kim and...blah dee blah." Well then why weren't we talking to "Kim" whoever that was, if she's so smart and knows what's going on? Why is this guy who's only been there a week and a half handling this?
It's just so fucking stupid.
But we only have like 5 days before our leases are up on our current places, and we have no time to look for other places, and it's going to be more expensive for our current places to prorate our rents so we can stay a bit longer while we find another place.
So THEY JUST NEED TO DO THEIR STUPID JOBS RIGHT so we can fucking move in.
OK, that was longer than I intended it to be. But SERIOUSLY.
