Aims, I'm sorry things are so wacky with the house. Definately contact the owner if you can. And if you need to move a few days past deadline TELL YOUR UNCLE TO SUCK IT THE FUCK UP.
What's he going to do? Be a bigger prick? Jerk you around more? Just tell him the house isn't ready yet and you might have changed your mind at the last effing minute just as he moved cross- country town and then be super nice and say, "ok, just two weeks." THAT'S MORE CONSIDERATION THAN HE DESERVES.
The landlord offered to lower the rent because of the mistake. So there will be no net gain or loss from living here - same rent, same bills. So, maybe not a great financial decision. But at the same time, Joe and I can't see ourselves going back to a big, corporate, huge apartment complex - pool or no pool. Hard to do after 6 years of living in houses. But! If we need to, then we need to and we'll deal and enjoy it.
We called on a house in our neighborhood that Joe and I saw on our walk. If the rent is lower than what we're paying here, I think we'll take it. It was totally a coincidence that we saw it today.
One of the questions they seem most proud of is "Do you have a best friend at work?" The reason, I was told, was that people who have a BF to complain to and let off steam with are less likely to carry around a "negative attitude", which would bring everyone's morale down.
Hah. Half our management challenges recently have come from some people who are friends outside of the office and then things get busy and strained and they can't quite make the switch from friend-interaction to colleague-interaction and the whole thing escalates into fits.
I've made some good friends at work, and of course it's better if things are cordial, but it ain't a fix-all.
Hmmm ... it seems to be renting only month-to-month depending approval of a short-sale.
Next!
