I'm so stupid it hurts

Post by haltz »

I went to check out an apartment today that's about 50 feet from my job and a good price. That's the kind of convenience that I'm looking for in life. So I stood there in the bitter, bitter cold for about half an hour, looked up the name of the realtor I was waiting for, called and left a message at the office, sent an email from my phone. You name it, I tried it.

This had been set up over email, and when she suggested the time, I replied: "That sounds great, we'll plan on Wednesday at 4:30." She didn't reply to confirm, but that didn't cross my mind as being all that weird until I was standing outside today wondering if every woman that walked by looked like a realtor or not, and what that even means.

Of course, when I get home and get on a real computer, I see that there's the draft of the reply I remember sending, but I never sent it. Or it didn't go through or something.

To make matters worse, the DVI cable I bought on the way home has a male and female end instead of two female ends like the one I needed. Now I gotta go return that.

On top of all this, I don't think the apartment is going to last long, and I may have just inadvertently screwed over my friend from work that was going to split it with me. Good day for me.

You angered the Gashouse Gang. It's payback.

I'm sure I don't know what that means, but I'm definitely starting to think that I've angered someone.

The apartment search up here was a tough one, especially coming from something so much comically cheaper in the Metro East. We had a place to stay at least, but didn't necessarily know what areas to look in, where deals were, what was a 'good price' etc etc etc. Our place here is probably much better than what we could easily have ended up with, so I gotta be positive about it.

Man, I thought it was crappy looking in October. Right now must be a nightmare. Heart goes out.

Apartment hunting sucks, that's all there is to say.

Good luck, indeed.

When one of our brightest posters has a day like this, strangely I feel better about myself.

Everyone has bad days...all that varies is the level of irony involved.
