I don't know who I pissed off...
... but it seems I did so rather royally.
So, back in June I tripped on a suitcase, in the dark, while drunk, and sprained my left ankle. It hurt like a bitch, and is still not entirely healed. It sucked, but hey, it happens.
Cue roommate drama- dude that's already been acting like an ass for months and who personally hates me suddenly bounces two consecutive rent checks and doesn't tell us, rewrites the checks and bounces those too. Finally the landlord called and told me (senior tenant), I told the dude to beat it, he serves us some letter saying he'll sue for harassment if we kick him out, says he'll pay the money he owes and then gives 30 days notice since he doesn't want to live in such a 'hostile environment.'
Enter partner drama- the less said on this the better, but I will say it was extensive and unpleasant.
Family drama- Marcus (fiance) had been having plenty, then his mom's husband suddenly goes from having 6+ months to live to a week, it's his mom's birthday, dad is tanking AND getting a second divorce, in the process of moving out of the house he shared with his wife, and suddenly we have to help with it all. And then I managed to so deeply offend his chauvinist brother by using the 'wrong tone of voice' that he still refuses to be in the same room as me.
Work drama- I got laid off, and am now completely and immediately unemployed with only a measly severance check to show for nearly 3 years of hard, faithful work with no raises, no thanks and no vacation time.
And full circle- yesterday I decided a walk was truly what I needed to get my mind off things, tripped going down the stairs at Land's End and sprained my other ankle, so now BOTH of my ankles are fucked, and I scraped the shit out of my left shin.
Tomorrow is my first day of class, I have to go to the student building and wait in line for hours to get a partial tuition refund which won't go through until October, and then I have to buy all my school supplies with money I don't have. This morning I wake up to a text from the asshole dude saying "surprise" he wants to have two french guys stay with us for a few days, when he's supposed to be moved out no later than next Monday.
For now that's all, but considering my luck lately (or lack thereof) I get the impression there will be more to come. God damn.
