MOVING SUCKS. Could Be Worse Though.

For reasons that don't need exploring at at this juncture, I moved today! GUESS WHO HAD ONE WEEK'S NOTICE ABOUT HAVING TO LEAVE MY LAST APARTMENT? THIS GAL. It sucked. It was, y'know, definitely sketchy and not legal. But a few weeks back, there was a leak/flood from one of the upper units, and it leaked into my roommate's room. Now, my room was undamaged and after they brought the fans and the paint and repair dudes in, I assumed that was that. IT WAS NOT. My roommate had to make a fuss to have even that much done, and an alarming blob of mold continued to grow. So the property management company was all "lol okay, guess you complaining about this counts as your 30 day notice!" a fact which they failed to inform us about in a reasonable manner. Roommate went to give them our rent check and they were all "uh, you're supposed to be gone in a week." Anyway, long story short, after a blessedly short period of apartment hunting, I found a new even better living situation so. All's well that ends well I suppose!

Seriously though, new living situation is a nicer apartment, cheaper rent, washer/dryer in unit, and I can park in the building's garage. Also it's about five minutes away from my old place, so my commute isn't duly affected. So while it was stressful getting a move together on such short notice, I'm also super grateful. (I am however definitely sending/having my boss send a strongly worded letter to old property management company about what bullshit their kicking us out was.)
