I pushed my sister Edie down the stairs...

judecorpI am a bad friend and ended up skipping out on the Reacharounds reunion show. It's not that I didn't want to go and see all of the lovely people, it's more like I was concerned that all of the cigarette smoke would make my throat swell up again. I really don't want to risk that right now. Instead, we dragged Former Coworker Sarah to Japanese Oriental Restaurant for a sushi boat, and then had DQ Blizzards. Holy crap, I am so stuffed right now. I have gotten into such BAD eating habits. I always end up hanging around people who eat way more than me, and then I stuff myself. Must. Stop. Doing. That.
Today was a pretty mellow day. I was out of court in a record 45 minutes (sometimes I'm there for several hours), even though I got chewed out because I couldn't find some documentation in the case file. (I inherited the case last week.) Aah well. I got my visits done and am as ready as I'll ever be for Court Of Doom on Monday. La la la.
Did I mention I was stuffed? Oh god.
I had a phone chat with the potential landlord this afternoon. He's a really nice guy and we had no problem having a conversation, we're just way too alike when it comes to not wanting to take financial chances and being planners. He has to tell his current tenants if they can break their lease early by April 15th, and wants some kind of rental commitment by then. I'm not terribly comfortable making a commitment on an apartment I haven't seen. He wants guaranteed jobs, but I know that's not realistic 2 months before we actually move there. I don't even know if I'll have a job when I get out there, but I /do/ know that I've never not paid a bill. I offered him a credit report and can furnish bank statements, but I can't promise a job I might not have. I know he's trying to protect himself, and in his place I would do the same thing, but it's so frustrating. We're not moving to change jobs, we're changing jobs to move. But he sounds like a cool guy and I think we would get along no problem - I just don't know if this need for set plans is going to mean we're not a good fit for the place. He ended up telling me he wanted to think about it over the weekend. I ended up telling him that he needs to do what's best for him, and if we're not what's best for him, we'll find something else. No sweat.
I personally know he has nothing to worry about on the financial front. (I would drain my house savings before letting a bill go late.) But I'm a total stranger to him so he has no way to effectively know that. But I think if he knew how much money is squirrelled away, he would feel better. @set me=money_hoarder
Remind me never to eat that much sushi and a Blizzard again. Holy crap. But I haven't laughed so hard as I laughed tonight, not in a long time. Former Coworker Sarah is the funniest shorty in Columbus. Good god.

How're you doing? Have you been doing well? Sorry about your hands... and the poor wedding gown.

Date: 2004-04-13 02:06 pm (UTC)I've gotten several apartments without having jobs. I don't think it's that uncommon. I just think this guy is more nervous because he's not really a property manager, just a guy who owns one apartment building (that he lives in).
