Natter 74: Ready or Not  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have never heard of a renter's resume before. Yikes! Maybe don't mention wanting to set things on fire on it? Just a hunch.

I do not know how to feel about the Honda commercial with the family singing Weezer.

-t, it's just that our music is now classic rock?

Also, shrift, USF has a renter's resume template if that's helpful.

I guess, Kat. Weezer being in an ad is somehow stranger to me than, like, Push It.

So I got my water bill today. I hadn't thought to check my water usage: I used an average of 12 gallons per day over the last quarter. Which is ... very little. Wish I got a discount on my rates for that!

Well done!

Gah, I am having trouble winding down and going to sleep because I am all keyed up from finding an app that will link my pantry inventory with my recipes and meal plan and shopping list. WTH, self?

Renter's resume sounds onerous. Who thought that was a good idea?! Just meet the dang applicants in person.

It's a little difficult when 40+ people show up for an open house, I suspect...

shrift, it's worth looking into particular landlords. My niece got her apartment by finding a particular landlord/property manager that had a bunch of buildings, and just doing their application process: they didn't advertise publicly because they didn't want to get overwhelmed in the Craigslist madness. The down side is fewer apartments; the up side is way less competition inside a walled garden.

Renters. Resume. Good grief. That is a terrifying notion.

So this morning, I almost killed myself choking on a breakfast taco. Early morning keeps getting earlier.
