Apartment woes

[richardoson]

A mountain of paperwork later, Cynthia and I had finally signed all the necessary documents saying that we wouldn't run a meth lab in our new apartment or start ripping out walls. It is understandable that an apartment complex would do their best to cover their ass, but my hand started cramping just from all the little signatures and initials that

Ack! That sucks. I tell ya, when moving into a new place of residence, there's always some unexpected twist. This is moreso true than the homebuying process. My scare was when I was told I wasn't going to be able to withdraw the amount of money from my investment account to pay for the downpayment of my home due to some obscure regulation. I found out a loophole, however, and was able to make it work, but it was a scary moment involving several thousand dollars. Yes, the first year of ownership was more of a "top ramen" year than I had desired, but it all worked out in the end.

And yes, you sound like you love a good challenge. If life didn't throw you obstacles to overcome, it would be boring indeed.

Keep up the good work in this installment of, "Adventures in Adulthood!"

"adventures in adulthood", the title seems to fit so appropriately. :) I hope you don't mind if I steal that for the title of a future post.

I figure that the best way to look at this whole debacle is like a challenge. A test that I am being issued by the universe to see if I will turn back into that angry "the-whole-world-is-against-me" kinda guy. I intend to pass.

Thanks for the encouragement, and I hope that you are finally past the Top Ramen stage of house buying. I did that for the first two years of being a bachelor. Good god, it was terrible. I can't even stand the sight of the things now.

MMMMMMMMM.......Ramen is goood! hehehe, remember to smile, and that you have friends. Both thoughts will help you immensly and I'm sure Shireen wouldn't be too against you staying with her for a few days, thoough she might exact some sort of payment, Wink, wink.

Feel free to use it as a title! Good phrases are made for sharing!

Yes, I'm well past the Year of the Ramen. Homeownership pays off well, given the tax write offs. I'm now rather comfortable, and find myself able to spend way too much at a bookstore.

Thank you for the invitation, i've been too busy for my own good. But once I get this move all situated, I will be a much less busy Richard. Then shortly afterward, school will be over, and I will be a summer vacationing Richard. :) Party time!

that sucks dude... make them pay for the u-haul or something???

[richardoson]

They gave me a "courtesy discount" on the deposit, and are prorating the rent for the month of june. So all in all, they are doing pretty well by me as far as money goes. I still wish it would have been a smooth transition, but they have fixed it to the best of their abilities once the mistake was found.

So did you get my voicemail? What, not a fan of the Rivercats? :)
