I think that was vw's reaction to our landlady wanting us to decide whether or not we're moving in September so that she can start showing the apartment.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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?
in September so that she can start showing the apartment.
Now that just's craxy. Or, maybe it's a Boston thing, but around these parts, you don't show apartments that early. 8 weeks is typically really early. 4-6 weeks is more usual. 5 months? Just insane.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm so hideous nobody will ever want schmoop with me again...I guess it's lucky I have my rage to sustain me.

Health-ma to your mom, Calli.
Job-ma to Stephen.
Like Beverly before me, I had to skip about a thousand posts, so I retroactively am happy for the good, and thinking general good thoughts for anyone what needs 'em. (And also hope this will suffice for having skipped).
Today, I had lunch with an old friend and caught up on all kinds of stuff, and then we went to Bath & Bodyworks and split one of their 5 items for $25, so I now have some lovely gardenia-scented product. Love gardenias.
Oh, and...

Not that I've ever heard of. She's claiming MIT students like to look at apartments before they leave for the summer, which... well, maybe. But I'm thinking she's not going to have any luck renting this place as is four months in advance. She'll have better luck with the last-minute desperate people.

Job ~ma for Stephen.
Feel better ~ma for Calli's Mom.
Pfft for vw & Emily's landlady.
I think I remembered to pay the rent. I hope I remembered to pay the rent.
How happy will I be when this crazy loop I'm stuck in at work ends? Very happy!
A school in Toronto called me for an interview, but I don't want to go to the trouble of doing a song and dance for them if they're really only going to offer what they've quoted as the salary, because I wouldn't accept it. I'm job cranky. Good thing my DH is picking me up in 25 minutes to run to the grocery store so we can have time to take our Monday night hike in one of the parks around here.
