Day 2: NaBloPoMo
We had a busy weekend which is very unlike us.
Saturday, we took the Scion in for an oil change, tire rotation, and its yearly state inspection. While we waited on the car, we went to the commissary for the first time in two weeks. No, we don’t go grocery shopping every two weeks normally, we were just too lazy to go last week. While we were in the commissary, I got a phone call from the car place but reception is really bad in there so I couldn’t hear what they were saying. I thought they were calling to tell me the car was ready to be picked up so I had the Mister drop me off and go on home with the groceries. Turns out they were calling to tell me they were done with the oil change and were getting ready to start the inspection and they hadn’t done the tire rotation either. As a result, I had to sit in the shop with nothing to do but watch Dinotopia, or whatever that show/movie is called, on TV. Luckily, an elderly gentleman loaned me his landscaping in the south book to read while I waited.
Saturday afternoon we had to take the oldest child shopping for a birthday present for her friend and then to the friend’s house for a sleepover. Once we got her dropped off, we went and did some shopping of our own and then headed home.
Oh. And somewhere in there, we cleaned out the Mister’s car from all the stuff we had left in the back when we moved. How lazy are we? Funnily enough, all of our liquor was stored in the underneath storage compartment. We’re such party animals that I didn’t even realize it was missing. Good thing he never got pulled over for anything because that would have been a LOT of open container charges.
Today, I was repeatedly called by my tenants despite the fact that I told them not to call me anymore. I ended up turning off my phone for four hours and then when I turned it back on, they called ten minutes later which tells me they had been trying to get a hold of me that entire four hours my phone was turned off. My lawyer told me not to take their calls since I tend to be soft-hearted on the phone. Well, we’re to the point that the reason why I won’t take their calls is because I’ll end up yelling and cussing at them. Either way, I’m not talking to them on the phone anymore because it’ll end up being bad for me. Also, if I get everything in writing, they can’t accuse me of anything else like they did in their e-mail yesterday.
The oldest child also had volleyball today. The way it works is that they play two games every Sunday. Today, they won one and lost one. She had a couple good plays too. We were very proud parents.
Now, I’m working on my homework. The topics for my Lit paper have me a little stumped so I will be putting in some hard work on it tonight.
6 days until we leave on our vacation.
Are they just calling to harass you? or are they begging for you to reconsider?
ReplyDeleteThe messages have had a little bit of everything in them. They started out basically saying that they think "e-mail is too slow" and they'd rather talk on the phone. Then they progressed to "we might be able to buy the house in May so could you wait to list it for sale until we know." Yeah. I'll get right on that. Then the last one was more aggressive with the excuse that they "have to protect" themselves. They're complete and total idiots but they're not stupid at the same time and they're also careful with what they say and how far they push things. Kinda makes me think they've pulled this crap, or something similar to it, on someone else.
ReplyDeleteI hope that it all works out with the renter....I hate when people do not take responsiblity for their own choices in life. They choose to spend their money on other things now they need to find a new place to live. I hope that the person that they rent from next checks them out,they may have a hard time finding a decent place to live.
