And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hey, vw, good to see you back!

E's surgery this morning went fine, though the nurses were unbelievably obnoxious. One woman (who obviously didn't speak more than a few words of English) got screamed at for daring to visit her husband in the recovery room without permission, and even when the nurse realized that the woman didn't speak enough English to understand what she had done wrong, she kept on screaming at her. In front of the entire waiting room, which I'm sure was the point -- even if she couldn't get through to the woman she was actually yelling at, the rest of us would surely be too intimidated to dare peek behind the curtain to check on our loved ones. Hopefully, E will be able to change doctors to one associated with the hospital closer to us, and without the unhelpful screaming staff.

Mostly lurking...

Oh, Jessica, that is just ridiculous.

I'm doing research on our next step: [link]

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Welcome back, vw!

I called the realtor, and apparently there is no "early out" clause. All she can do right now is try to get the new tenants to move in earlier, but I'd actually asked them if they were interested in that at all when they came to see the apartment, and they weren't. I guess I'm going to have to keep pushing when she gets back to me, because I'm not paying thousands of dollars of rent for nothing. Surely, people must do this all the time. There has to be something, right?

vw!!! Welcome back!!! You have been missed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Vw! Welcome!

When I left my MI place early, I had to pay the rent anyway.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Fashion question: I really like this dress [link] but I don't like going sleeveless. Would this shrug (in black) [link] look good with it?

Well, that blows.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

E's surgery this morning went fine
So glad to hear this.
Hopefully, E will be able to change doctors to one associated with the hospital closer to us, and without the unhelpful screaming staff.
But, damn, I wish people were just a lot nicer to each other. I hope he can change to a good, close and surrounded by good people doctor soon.

Our wings are not tired

Yeah, your option is to just violate the lease and just stop paying. Usually it's more trouble for the landlord to chase you down than to just rent the place. However, they can report you to the credit agencies. Basically you signed a contract and now you want out of it. Unless you can sweet talk the other party in the contract, you're SOL.

Oh, and I am not ignoring you, PC, so much as avoiding the whole sublet / lease thing. Because I am still not over the trauma of taking over this place.
