Every day here I wonder if it could be more beautiful. The sun is always shining, the sky is blue with scattered clouds. Occasionally it will rain, but not for long and just enough to cool things down a bit. So, with all the perfect weather, why am I still feeling so completely unmotivated, tired and lonely? Because I'm just that, tired and lonely. I miss Ty and all my friends and I'm ready to come home. Besides, I'm not learning anything new anymore. Now, I'm just doing everything I was doing before but for a different cafe. A lot of good that's doing. Wow, this is already rambling. I'm rusty.
Let me tell you a story about the most disgusting creatures on the planet...real estate brokers. They are the scum of the earth. My lease is up at the end of the month and I've been looking for a new place to live. I've been using craigslist and rent-direct and a few other options to try and avoid dealing with brokers. Yet, without fail, like roaches, they infiltrate every viable option leaving me no choice but to work with them in order to find the perfect place. Bait and switch...that's what they're all about. They lead you to believe you're going to see a no fee apartment, then when you get there they tell you place is already rented, but they have another place that would be perfect. The catch: the new place they show you always has a broker's fee. STOP LYING TO ME!!! I hate it. Always an excuse and always some other option. So, the perfect apartment I thought I had...not going to happen. The broker fee was outrageous, the owner kept raising the rent when he recieved my salary information and all of a sudden utilities were not included. BULL SHIT! This is after we already put a deposit down and signed a bunch of paper work. Here's the real kicker. After we did all that...we saw the apartment listed on craigslist again and for more money. WHAT THE HELL!
So, I'm back to square one. No apartment and no more ideas. I'm going to need a miracle.
