Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm sure that you've thought of this, but you are liable for the place until 30 July. Plus, if they are trying to move in, that makes a mess for the professional cleaning bit, and any damage that might be done during the move.
Yep. If we agree to hand over the keys now and vacate, the PM will most likely keep our deposit (which is a full month's rent) and possibly sue us for the cost of the cleaning.
Not a surprise, frankly.
No, really it isn't. Neither is the fact that they apparently did not tell their attorney the truth. They told her that we'd asked to move out July 14.
This is why I do everything via gmail with the PMs. I want it all discoverable in case of a lawsuit.

In better news, the new house has a hot tub, and it seems to be the one thing that's in perfect shape. Housewarming hot tub party!
Raq, that's craziness!
I don't like today. Can I have a different one?
Yes, sj. As soon as I find out where they keep the spare days.
Raq, eesh. Such maroons. But, yay, hot tub!
Cooling temp-ma to Liv.
I don't like today. Can I have a different one?
Yes. When you find a different version, let me know.
Raq, I am just agog at the whole saga. But yay hot tub?
I should wait until after that trip, yes? The airport won't take a paper license, will they? How do they handle folks that have temporaries?
Oregon gave me a scannable paper license and the real one arrived in well under a week. Different states, different weirdness.
I did have to take the written (shutupshutupshutup, yes I failed the first time because I hadn't even looked at the booklet. Who goes to the DMV and gets called up two minutes later? I am from California, I figured I had a couple of hours...) but not the driving because I was swapping from one validly licensed state to another.
Um, and I might have waited two and a half years until my CA was expiring. But I would have been mildly in trouble (fixit ticket) if I'd been pulled over during that time.

That said, I flew a couple of days later with my passport. But I rented a car easily enough with the paper.
I did have to take the written
In NC, everyone has to take the written, and it's a constant refrain from new arrivals that they (a) failed the first time and (b) didn't think you'd have to study for such a thing once you'd been driving for a while. IOW, I'm not about to laugh at you.
On the plus side, they do make you a license on the spot, and if it's a really slow day they might even let you have a do-over on an especially bad photo.
Raq that is messed up. Hope you enjoy your new house (hottub!).
So I went crazy with the shopping this weekend. Want to see my haul? Here goes:

I told you I went nuts!
CA makes you take the written as well, and they make you RE-TAKE it if you're there for any sort of state change (new classification, new address) on your DL and it's been over a year since you took it. Got ambushed by that one last year when I went to take the motorcycle written.
Nicole's bf said that it is a basic trade in, no written automatically necessary, but I forgot to ask if I got instant license or not.
I'll encourage mom to go get hers and have her be my guinne pig informant.
