So, looks like the cookbook's a go? I will help collect recipes and such, put them together, do the layout, whatever's needed. I can't promise I'll test all the recipes (at least not right away).

Yeah, I think so. I'm all excited! And I'll put you on the list of willing helpers. Yay!

Our landlord is currently walking through the apartment with someone. We got absolutely no warning about this. I am FURIOUS.

edit: He was taking pictures and everything. I want to know what the hell is going on!

vw, WTF? Don't they HAVE to give you notice?

Vibing for a healthy Toto!

vw, WTF? Don't they HAVE to give you notice?

Supposedly, but we've been pretty lax with that. Not any more. I've HAD it!

You should be furious, what's with that?!

vw, are you leaving? Did I miss something?

vw, are you leaving? Did I miss something?

Leaving? Our apartment? No. Hence the problem.

No, I still understand why you'd feel a bit thrown by it all. Do you think he's telling the truth (or whole truth) about the electrical issue?

Very difficult to call, and I've been asking myself that too. It could be a combination of factors - maybe the building isn't close enough to being ready after all, maybe they've had trouble with recruiting, what with the Sharm bombing (although afaik, based on advertising, they're only still looking for one teacher), maybe they've not got enough prospective pupils. All these possibilities. But I don't think they'd lie outright about the power cable thing. I think that's liable to be part of it, at least.

But it sounds like your employer is really working hard to make sure the employees are covered, one way or another. So I'm glad you've landed a good boss, especially after the last one

Yeah, it does seem more positive, doesn't it? Fingers crossed.

Damn, girl. That isn't even legal, is it? Is this a proposed flatmate? Or someone to take over your lease?

Were you dressed? I have days where I don't get out of my jammies until noon. If someone from my HOA showed up unannounced, I'd be pissed too.

eek, vw! I don't have any advice how to fight back; I could have used it on my landlord once we gave our notice to quit the premises. I knew that her coming without notification/permission was wrong, but I made myself suck it up because of the knowledge that buying a house meant that such invasions were soon to be a thing of the past.

But give him hell! perhaps a strongly worded letter, referencing the appropriate parts of the lease, with a cc to a name that ends with ", Esq."?
