It looks like we're not getting the house for rent because the old owner can't seem to get in touch with the new owner to get him to agree to our terms. It looks like we're likely going to take our second choice, aka the apartment I kind of don't want to live in. TCG and I just had a fight, which is rare for us. I'll be hiding in the comfy corner.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, sorry to hear all of that, SJ.
ita, have you tried Ultram. It's very lovely.
That's Tramadol, right? My cohort was prescribed some after a car accident, and he's still mortally embarrassed about how he behaved while on it. The lovely part is that what he did is completely unremarkable behaviour, for say, normal people, but there you go. He's only ever had the one pill. If only taking his medication weren't illegal...

{{sj}} I'm sorry, hon. Any chance of taking another quick look around and finding something you both like?

Doubtful. I think the real estate guy we have been working with has pretty much had it with us. I'm going to ask him if he thinks there is anything else new that is worth our interest before we sign on the other one and see what he says. I'm difficult because of the first floor and because I want to be in a nicer neighborhood in a clean apartment.

{{sj}} I'm sorry that finding a place to live has been so difficult. I'm also annoyed that you don't get the place you want because people are dorks. If you're going to be denied, it should at least be for a good reason.

Thanks, -t. It's just confirming my "All people that aren't buffistas, suck" suspicions.

There's a lot of data in support of that theory, I'm afraid.

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?
{{sj}} and it's just ridonkulous that this
because I want to be in a nicer neighborhood in a clean apartment
is a tall order. Because hello? Shouldn't we all be able to live in a clean apartment in a decent neighborhood? I mean, really.

What is even happening?
sj, I'm so sorry. I thought it was a done deal. Stupid new owner.
Teppy, I'm glad your doctor gave you reasonable news about your back. Take it extra easy. For reals.
Suzi, congrats on the raise.

Teppy, I meant to say that I'm glad that you back is just a muscle thing and I hope you're feeling better soon. Also, thank you for the information. I wouldn't have bothered you about it if I had read about your back first.
