Go get 'em . vw!
and Sail, it sounds likeit was going to be awkward anyway. I'm not sure you can say more thenI'm sorry we argued, but it is my job now to make decsions about X.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

I have no time for fandom. I feel like a bad girlfiend.
I SO did not want to get out of bed this morning. I need to take a day to myself.
I used to consider myself a social person, but I have had no downtime and I just want to hide under a rock. Staying home for a day does not help - mom, CJ and K-Bug are at home. Work = people.

VW, Emily, don't take this the wrong way, but...why do you let them in?

They usually just walk right in. No more, though. NO MORE. She's gonna know that before I hang up. I'm gonna tell her I've been keeping a log of her and the agent's behavior over the last month and that I have no problem going to file a complaint with the city if I have to add even one thing more to that log.
She thinks we're not cooperative? She's gonna SEE not cooperative. And then I'm gonna throw out a proposal. So, we'll see how it goes.

What is even happening?
Emily and vw, I'm sorry your landlords are being so inconsiderate of your privacy. I bet you won't miss that when you move.
When are your last days in your apartment?

They usually just walk right in.
It also helps that, while she's an inconsiderate bitca, he's an incredibly sweet man, and he's the one who comes to the door.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
vw and Emily's landlords suck, and they shouldn't be allowed to get away with this crap. When they walk right in, insist that they leave, embarass them in front of potential tenants if necessary. If you were going to be there longer, I would suggest putting a secuirty chain on the door so that they cannot just walk in.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Sucky landlords suck.
Hometown: Born in teeny town in Georgia (on an Air Force base). Never lived anywhere longer than 3 years when I was a kid, though we lived mostly in the South. There was a time I would have considered Greenville (SC) my hometown. There was another time I would have considered San Diego my hometown. Now I think I have no hometown. Home is where the GF is, you know? IOW, I could leave LA and be okay with that. Where I'd go is another question.
Good luck on your first days, Aims and Nora! I'm having major (stress and effed-up responsibilities) issues with my workplace right now so I may be joining the job hunt. Won't that be fun what with school starting up in September. Ain't life grand? I'm feeling dragged down lately what with the work probs and the fact that stats is getting really hard. Not sure what the solution is, but sometimes putting feelers out helps even if you don't end up taking a new position.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Now, I don't want to do that. I don't even want to threaten it. But, if she doesn't make some changes, I sure as hell will.Good. This is making *me* snarly and I'm not the one being walked in on.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm in the "not sure I have a hometown" category. I was born in a small city in Wisconsin. Lived just outside of that city from before I can remember until just before my 14th birthday, when we moved to a larger city in the same county.
I used going to college as a socially approved version of running away from home. NOLA was very different from southern Wisconsin. I learned that the world is a very big and diverse place, among other things. But NOLA wasn't where I really belonged, either.
Chapel Hill was where I really bloomed. To the extent that I have a "hometown," it's there. Life wasn't perfect there, but it was right.
DC is where I work. It doesn't really feel like home, though that might be because I've always lived in the suburbs, and not the real, real close-in ones. I don't see us staying here after retirement.
