Spike's Bitches 25 to Life
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Huh. Is this actually the same as subletting? Because usually if you find someone to sublet from you, and they flake out and don't pay or something, then you are still responsible for the unpaid rent.
No. Well. Per that link, there's one type of subletting, where you find the new renter, but then the landlord transfers the lease to the new renter. Then there's the type you're talking about, where you, the original renter, are responsible. Then there's breaking a lease. When you break a lease, it is in cooperation with your landlord, who advertises the apartment, and if he can rent it out for the same he's renting it to you, he lets you out of your lease, and just gives a new lease to the new tenant. If he can only rent it out for less, or if there's a gap between your tenancy and the next guy's, you are paying the difference, so the landlord doesn't lose out.
Not to my understanding -- subletting is a relationship with you. Re-leasing is a relationship with the landlord.
Hmm. It seems that if you're pretty confident the landlord can find someone to replace you, that you're better off not even finding someone to sublet, because if the landlord finds someone then you're completely off the hook.
eta: somewhat x-posty....

True. But if you can find someone to sign a new lease, you're best off.
I have memories of those roads. Not fond, but memories. Of the crack-addled roads of Sorrento.
Yes! And for the fact that there's been Massive Construction in one form or another going for how-many-years-now, and yet nothing has improved (or, as far as I can tell, even changed)! If not for the fact that it's 15-ish minutes from home, with zero-freeway needage...
So it's the entire Valley, not just the USPS...interesting.
Good luck + good recall - nasty surprises = -ma for Stephanie
Recall~ma and getting-it-over-with ~ma, Stephanie!
I think you're fine to continue the lease without worrying too much about what to do if and when you need to break it.
I agree. Plus, as everyone had already noted, there's lot and lots of good advice here. As hard as this, you may have reached critical mass when it comes to living your life independently. You can love them, you can be a part of the family, but you *don't* have to let them make decisions for you because you're afraid to hurt them. Remember, it's *their* decision to hurt or not, to support you or not. As everyone said, their actions and reactions are *their* responsibility.
All kinds of ~ma and punctuation, P-C.
Good luck and recall~ma Stephanie!
with zero-freeway needage..
Unpossible! Unless you mean the road that hits the coast. I know about that one.
Hey Cass, Steph, anybody else working in an edit-y field?
I'm really wanting to try to transition more in this direction career-wise. Any advice for someone with a degree in Liberal Arts (and zero urge to acquire one in English) looking to aim in a more edit-y/proof-y direction? (ie software I need to learn beyond being excellent in Word already, resources, etc.)?
Thanks in advance for any and all advising. Profile addy's good if anyone feels long-winded.
(Really hope I don't look like I'm trying to bogart the attention, I've just been meaning to ask for an age, but never remember when I'm online).
now the time for my bitch about life.
Tomorrow I will be going to the doctor and will be put on high blood pressure medicine.
3 daily meds for allergies/asthma
1 2x a day for allergies/ asthma
1 for b/c
1 for cholesteral ( working - yay HDL is very high)
1 2x a day for diabetes (a new one - that isn't working any better)
I am so very pissed off. 4 years ago I started really takeing care of myself. More exersize, , better eating habits, and goodbye to 20 lbs.
I feel betrayed by my body. I feel betrayed by me. and a little scared.
I feel betrayed by my body.
Beth, that sucks. If it's any comfort, I take two diabetes meds a day, too. Still, exercising and eating better *is* paying off, if it doesn't seem like it right now.

This may depend on what kind of experience you have now, in terms of transitioning. I worked in editing, but in book editing. Are you wanting to go that route, or more in-house technical editing, that kind of thing?
