lunch break

I'm just a non-posting machine, these days, innit. What's been going on lately.

Last week was Monday-Thursday in my current pattern of working four tens instead of five eights; and I Got Things Done, oh my goodness.

...you still live in the same place, right? How are you on the hook for the rest of the year's rent if you leave early? When I moved out E was going to go to month-to-month, until the person in the office pointed out that yearly was a million times cheaper, and when she asked about breaking the lease early, I'm pretty sure she was told the only reprecussion would be possibly losing the deposit or being charged a month's rent. That place never has vacancies for very long, either.

In order to get the reduced rent for the moderate-income program I'm in, I can only sign a twelve-month lease - neither the more expensive shorter terms nor the slightly cheaper twenty-four month lease is available to me. And the terms of the lease specify that if I vacate before the end of the lease term I'm responsible for the remainder of the rent for the rest of the year, but I'll get some of it back pro rata if they find a tenant to replace me before my lease would have ended. Which, as you say, would probably be pretty quick, but still, one would rather owe first/last or lose one's deposit than be liable for many months' worth of rent. Feh.
