DISREGARD EVERYTHING, EVER

[thene]

because apparently I need to start appending a note to all my IRL entries saying 'nb may change without warning for no fathomable reason.'

So. Previously in the Adventures of Thene Fails At Everything we went to try to extend our lease to the end of the month, were told 'hahahaha no maybe an extra couple of days at most' and had therefore planned on being out by next Tuesday, as we'd originally planned. Today Dee turned weird and started passagging us about the whole Tampa situation (this turned out to be related to her other son, the klepto shithead drama-addict with the wife who is appreciably worse, but never mind that), and we went to find out if we could indeed get those extra couple of days, and they say 'yeah you're good until the middle of February.'

WAT.

NO REALLY, WAT.

sigh sigh sigh, we have said so many goodbyes at this point and I was secretly looking forward to Tampajob because it would have got me out of having to work for D.M. again this year, BUT HEY. so. we're here, and we're staying here until shortly before we leave for London in late feb, at which point we will indeed go to Tampa, if only for a few days to visit & stuff. I get to call Tampadude and tell him how sorry I am to have bothered him, I'll call D.M. too and see if she still needs me (and if she doesn't then Dani K will but the commute up to hers is hella annoying and they watch Fox News in the office all the damn time), and then I'll presumably do what I was doing this time last year and work a few shifts a week at each job (if job a still need me at all, anyway.) M will probably have a lot of work here in February but not so much right now. The money isn't that important anyway, I just like the feeling of not bleeding to death kthnx plus complete employment records look kinda nice.

now I am going to go hide in my bed and write porn until it is safe to come out.

holy crap on a fucking cracker, Thene. :/

With so many misadventures, something has to turn out right and shiny, right? Right. ♥

[thene]

idk seriously, the fail train is heading merrily over the failcliff and I am just sat in the back abusing the wifi or something. :( It would definitely be nice if I could turn this all around within the next month!

[lindorie]

lol, best way to put it. I really hope it gets better for you two within the next month!

[lassarina]

I am just going to assume that Karma is saving up shiny kisses for you. o_o;

[thene]

have you met me

Seriously though things could be an awful lot worse, and now I have more time to write porn fix everything. This isn't that far down on the 'bad things' scale compared to most people who live in America. I am just tired of being dicked around & I want things to go my way for freaking once, etc.

[stealth_noodle]

Ugh, ugh, ugh. You are owed the BEST landlord on the other end of your move.

[thene]

I would settle for a landlord at this point /wants to get OUT aggh ffff

[aihal]

YOU SUCK ALL THE COCKS?

youuuu. I keep forgetting you will be here in Februaries. May it last long into March!

[thene]

All of the cocks. Allllllll of them.

yesss! We'll need to sort out timings asap; I think the BA sale's already started. I need to get you an xmas present and have not yet come up with anything ;__;

I seem to be in parallel universe. (Not the first time. lol.) But this is good news, isn't it? You have been saved from being jammed into a tiny room and going crazy. It's as if you've invented a machine to turn social embarrassment into space to live in. And, anyway, real friends would be happy you're still around, although I can see how the bigots would be upset. And I know that, having made the mental preparation, it can be tough to switch back; but if the cons outweigh the pros, you could still go to Tampa. However, to paraphrase the Stones, I think you got what you need, not what you want.

Sorry for not being more supportive.

Naah, you are completely right. I am just tired of being messed around and thus having to mess other people around in turn. But at least I got to spend this weekend destressing a bit instead of packing!

[1000kindsofrain.wordpress.com]

Y'know what? I never get tired of hearing "You are completely right" ;)

But I can understand being tired of being messed around. And "Yea!" to destressing. (In fact, today is my weekly destressing day. Yea!)

And I really hope you find somewhere decent in Boston. Given the climate, I bet all the good properties become available in spring - last year we had to move my sister through an inch of snow, and that was horrendous.

[thene]

Yes, hopefully will make it easier! On the other hand, I'm told they haven't had a whole lot of snow up there since the random blizzard at the end of October; just speaking online to people everywhere from here to Eastern Europe it seems like the northern hemisphere is just not getting a winter this year? Idk, there's a month or two left to prove that wrong.

I am a little worried about costs going up in spring; Feb/March tends to be the housing market rockbottom and for obvious reasons real estate and rental have opposing cost curves - whenever demand slackens on one it increases in the other (which is why rent has spiked in the US in recent years). But eh, this is going to be expensive as hell anyway, and with any luck Boston's student infestation will mean rent is worse in summer than in spring.
