So last October, my kitchen sprung a leak. Well, the bathroom above my kitchen sprung a leak and water drained behind the paint in one of my kitchen walls, making the paint bubble as it drained.
My landlord's wild idea of a fix? To put a slit in the paint so the water would finish draining.
Unfortunately, the leak is still present, so that entire wall is now covered in mold.
Not just any mold.
Black mold.
So I reported to to the landlord, and he still hasn't made any move to fix it. So I took THAT to the city's Health Department.
They called my landlord.
I can't put my rent into escrow either, because he told the city that he's "fixing" it. So I'm getting the hell out.
The funny thing? That leak isn't the only leak in my apartment, but it's the only one that he's not actively trying to fix, so I spend a good chunk of my days absolutely irritated about it. And I'm tired.
Oh, hell no... the movie sucked. I'm certain some higher power would stick me with something so gawd-awful that it's hilarious with a bottle of tequila.
*Because clearly they spent tens of dollars on those sweet special effects...*
You sound like you're having fun :) I'm glad--rough about the long work weeks, but the promotions sound wonderful! Sounds like you're steadily getting things in order <3
Congrats on all the changes (especially that promotion-yay!) and good luck adjusting to your new roomies. I wholeheartedly echo the whole "holy hell I've missed a lot" statement, but then, I haven't been on LJ in ages so I have no idea what's going on with anyone, anywhere. (Am totally absorbed in other things right now.)
Not dead either. And I promise to someday update plainrea. At the moment, I have cramps, so I'll leave before these sentences start to fade into incoherency...

Hence the #2 item. I move in November 1.
