- Moved to Chicago without a place to live because everyone I emailed/called never responded.
- Found a realtor who was supposed to be fantastic. She told me to get rid of my dog AND up my rent per month.
- Got rid of the realtor and found a company. Put money down on an apt, waited 3 days to find out I wasn't accepted.
- I was able to move into a dorm to get rid of the rental car I had. For keeping it 6 days, instead of 3, I had to pay TRIPLE the cost. Does this make sense to anyone else?
- Dorm room does not have hot water.
- Went and checked some more places out. Finally found a place and moved in but Roommate's cats do not love Ellie. We are working on this. Also roommate is messier than I am.
- When trying to get into said apartment, I have two checks that I put into the ATM but then can't use because they are larger than 500 dollars and need a day or two to go through.
- Bank sends me to a store to get the money order. I call ahead, yes they do money orders. I say specifically that I need to get a money order that night. They tell me to come on in. So I do. They close the register about 30 minutes before I get there. IE before I even made the phone call.
- Manage to scrape together cash for rent and my half of deposit. End up needing to pay roommate's 1/2 of deposit as well.
- Finally get keys, I don't get a copy of the gate key. So Roommate and I begin sharing keys, calling each other to get in and out.
- Toilet clogged when we first move in.
- Dishwasher running causes nasty black liquid to guzzle up out of the kitchen sink.
- Dropped my phone EXACTLY a week after having the screen replaced due to a (read: single) tiny crack. It SHATTERED. Pieces of the screen were missing. I cut my finger on it.
- A week later, I dropped it in the washing machine. Deader than dead. So now I can't call roommate to share keys.
- I wait a week to get a paycheck, then purchase a new phone off ebay in the at&t iphone section.
- It takes another week to arrive so I'm 2 weeks without a phone. And no internet or cable at the apt yet.
- It arrives on a Friday afternoon, a SPRINT phone. Not at&t.
- I go down to the at&t store where they play with it for awhile and then try to make it work. They put a SIM card in and tell me that as soon as it's unlocked/jail broken, it will work.
- I call all over the city to check prices. Every single store tells me they will jail break it. When I actually go to said stores, no one will jail break it because its a Sprint phone. Apparently those cause problems.
- So I go back to the at&t store because I have a partial upgrade that i can use to get a new phone and just enough money in my bank account to do it. But they canceled my partial upgrade because we paid the bill late. Once.
- Get a go phone. It says it has all sorts of capabilities, but it can only really handle texting and calling. Everything else takes an eternity. And its SO NOT user friendly like my iphone.
- Order something from Vera, they won't deliver it because our box doesn't have our names on it. I paid the 80 bucks to get that fixed over a week ago. Also don't have our call box updated (Included in same check).
- USPS loses 3 packages totaling close to a thousand dollars, including the new phone I bought.
- One of my former students died in a car accident. This is devastating not just because he was one of my favorites, but also because I know what his younger brother is now going through.
- My favorite Uncle on my Dad's side died. I'm too new to take days off work to go to either funeral. Boss would let me off but I can't. I have things that HAVE to get done.
***Edit 9/15/12 I woke up this morning ok with life. I have the money to take care of my sick dog, the money to go and spend the day with a good friend at a fun festival, and I can get my nails done.
