Moving, More Work, My Friends

So I've lived in this apt. for almost a year and a half. In this city since 2001. I'm now about to move south to find something closer. I've stalled because of money, time, & laziness. Reverse that. Laziness, time, & money.

I just wanna make sure that I find a decent place. One close to work and the gym. Big factors for me. I'm going to re-start my search again this weekend. Monday, most likely, because I can look on-line Monday, then actually go see the places on Tuesday (I took a day off).

Then I came across this:

...my mom drove me to the apartment in her overstuffed Volvo and we found a parking place directly in front of the building. I'm secretly going through a phase where I believe in things like karma and "letting go," so this random piece of luck seemed important. I was concerned about using my new set of keys—Rita totally breezed through the explanation—but I didn't have to worry. A woman I'll call Mary opened the door and told me she lived there. The floor had recently been finished and the room now looked bright, spacious, and wonderfully out of my price range. Mary said I was the 17th person to arrive. Shortly after, a man banged up the stairs, carrying a laundry basket of shoes. He was the 18th. We had identical subleases, which clearly stated how much we had given ($2,850) to Rita—who had never lived in this apartment.

Ugh. That's why you never search for apts. or dates on Craigslist. The Psycho percentage is WAY too high! But it is fun as hell to read.

But time has been such a bitch this past week. I wish I'd have stayed more focused. And I wish I hadn't have caused a rift between me a co-worker/friend.

FWIW--I can't apologize. I won't. I did what I had to do. Business is business. That's hard and mean and callous, but it's also the truth. If you took it personally, I ask that you take a step back. I don't let my personal opinions of people conflict with my professional views of them. I can't. If I did, I wouldn't have many friends at all. I'm not mad at you. I would hope you're not mad at me. I don't wanna douse the flame of what I saw as a really good friendship that could grow to be a great one.

Even though you knit. ;)

Can't believe I just put a smiley in my blog. How homo.

I must find a way to man up this entry now.

Hmmm...

Much better.

Have a safe friggin 4th of July!
