Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So it turns out that SHOUT Wipes do a fairly decent job at cleaning blood stains.
Dammit! Quit bleeding on stuff. Stand over there.

I'll remember this for the next all-staff meeting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. Calling various tenant organizations, lawyers, etc. I just want some vague idea on how much it might cost and how much trouble it might be to go to court. Trying to decide if it's worth fighting to stay until my lease runs out in 4 1/2 months.
But it sounds like things could drag on for months, which means I could stay until close to when my lease runs out anyway....

That's exactly what will happen. There's no way they can evict a paying tenant for this issue in a short period of time.
They can always pay you to leave.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know about other places, but I know my next-door neighbor has had a couple of eviction notices on the door when she's been three months past due with the rent, and she still lives there!

Heh.
One guy I talked to at the Metropolitan Tenants Organization said it sounds like my landlord is trying to get me to panic.
Well, it's more like they got me to be really depressed, in a "I don't wanna go to court, I just wanna stay curled up in the corner" kind of way. But I'm feeling a little better about it now.

That's exactly it. They're trying to bully you out. But there's no way they can make it happen before your lease is up.
And I wasn't kidding about having them pay you. It happens all the time.

I think in many small-issue situations, "We're going to sue you" is only used as a scare tactic. Because it sounds so scary! I had the collection agency trying to collect a fraudulent charge on my Macy's account threaten that, and it sent me into a total tailspin (including totally inappropriate emails to bon bon...). Of course we worked it out without lawsuits. By which I mean, I stood my ground and insisted that they were wrong, when they were.

Yeah.
The woman at the rental office sounded so unhappy with me when I told her I was gonna find out what my rights were and get back to her (when she asked me if I was going to move out).
