Well, for the most part the issue with my old apartments is straightened out, aside from the fact that I owe them $1,617.
What have I learned?
1. Don’t be lazy and always put everything in writing.
When I was still going to school, I was working a job where Amanda and I were living in a group home for 2 weeks out of each month, basically taking care of 8 mentally handicapped adults. Boy, was that interesting. We had to take a handful of classes on things that I don’t even remember anymore, considering I can’t think of any of the classes we took. One thing I do remember learning, though was that if you didn’t WRITE IT DOWN, it didn’t happen. When it boils down to it, signing papers and putting things in writing will save your ass, and your wallet, too.
2. If you have any money to your name, people will find a way to make you spend it.
I’ve been blessed with this problem. Someone always has their damn hand out. It’s getting old, you people are going to make me go broke.
So what’s the deal with the lost keys? A week after I moved into my house, we moved into a new office at work. This was well over a month ago, and for some reason my boss never asked for the keys back. Yesterday he sent us an email saying he needed to have our keys back by noon. I checked my keyring and, of course, they are not there. I freaked out promptly. Have I lost more keys? Is this going to be a big deal to my boss?
I worked late last night so when I got home I frantically searched the house for the keys. How could I have lost more keys? Come on Kelley, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? I never found them.
Turns out I’d given them back already. Yeah, I’m really stupid…
