6/6/6
entry by tick 
6/7/2006 2:36 AM

So I get home from work today, and find a white envelope stuck in my doorjam. Ok, I knew it was from the apartment complex, didn't know what for. So I open the envelope, unfold the letter... and my jaw goes right through the fucking floor.

My lease is over in 9 days.

Fuck!!! Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!!!

I'm pretty sure everyone in the building could hear me screaming.

Now, I know that I have no right to bitch, because it's not the apartment complex's responsibility to warn me that my lease will be ending soon. And I know that I should be on top of things, especially stuff like, you know, where I fucking live.

But on the other hand, have you ever tried to find a new place to live in just nine days? AND move there? Without missing any work?

So right now I'm calming my nerves through gratuitous application of Highland Park. Yes, this is a waste of a perfectly good single-malt scotch I know, but I'm out of gin, beer, and well, everything else. If I had some weed I'd be baked off my ass now though.



Sooo... Here's the plan:

Plan A ) Negotiate with apartment complex. Try to stay here, even if it means moving down the street to a new apartment or something.

Plan B ) Find a new apartment. Move there. Easier said than done.

Plan C) Stick all belongings in a storage locker. Become homeless. Live in the woods near my office building. Shower in the excercise room at work. Live off of Ramen noodles amd Dinty Moore beef stew. Put the $625 I used to spend in rent each month into the bank.



Suggestions?

UPDATE:

Plan A failed, moved on to Plan B.

However, I'm experiencing difficulty, since NO REALTOR OR RENTAL OFFICE IN THE FUCKING CITY EVER ANSWERS THEIR PHONE.

UPDATE:

I found an apartment, woohoo! My new joint is a small apartment in a very nice historic section of town, near the river. My apartment actually was once the company store for the abandoned textile mill in town, back in the 1920's. Very cool.

And the best part is that the new place has a washer & dryer, with FREE water!

UPDATE: So apparently, the road that my apartment is on kinda leads to a housing project nearby. I had no idea, until there was a FUCKING RANDOM DRIVE BY SHOOTING TWO DOORS DOWN FROM ME.

So now, I keep a loaded shotgun next to my desk. Because unlike all the liberal-ass hippies in this town, I shoot back.

Correct on both counts, I was at the rifle range because I was shooting slugs. Also, I was standing well forward of the firing line because I forgot to bring earplugs, and that stupid roof just reflects the gunshot sounds back downward.

UPDATE:

Number of black dudes I had to bust the sawed-off shotgun out on because they woke me up at 2:30 AM to try to buy weed:

1

And that's one too many.

If you spot a terrorist arrow, pin it to the wall with your shoulder.
