aaack!

so we finally got approved for an apartment. that in itself was drama, since most complexes out here require verification that your income is over 3 times what the rent will cost. which sucks because it's EXPENSIVE to rent out here, and the YMCA doesn't pay a bajillion dollars an hour. so we had shaggy's boss write a letter that said, if we moved closer, he could take on more clients, thus earning more money... and the complex decided that was good enough. so i happily call our manager here to let them know, and make sure everything is going fine with someone from their "list" of people being able to sign a lease for our apartment - thus enabling us to move out before october. "oh, well we don't have anybody yet."
excuse me!?! and now there's another one bedroom apartment coming open, so unless somebody signs here by friday, we can't sign for the new place (and risk paying two rents for four months).
so then we would lose the new place, and i so do not want to go through this whole process again. how do stupid/lazy people get apartments?
on a more fun topic: last night i was introduced to the game left, right, and center and won a cool $30. i can buy a half-tank of gas on that moola...
