Training Day 102 - The System is Down

Language: Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. That's class right now.

Apartment: I ran down to the office during lunch today to go over the lease. Wow. Stuff. It took a lot more time and even more signatures than I was anticipating. However... It is done! One kink in the plan, however: AER made the check out straight to the company and they already sent off my money orders. I'll get a credit but not the refund I was counting on. Now, I can still feed myself but it's going to be tight until payday. I also picked up my rental stuff from the loan closet so that I can move in...

Oh! Wait! The power's off and the landlord didn't know about it until we did our walk through. I can forgive her for last night because her phone died (but she left the charger in the office...) but not knowing the hows, when, and whys of her power in her own units? Not encouraging. As I need a machine to breathe I can't move in without power and PG&E told me to fax over a lot of personal information and check back tomorrow.

Personal: I hate relying on other people (see above). Every time I do, I get shafted. It's because people aren't up to my speed. They don't do what they say they will when they say to do it. Now, I'm not perfect but I at least make an honest attempt and deliver more often than not. This is getting ridiculous.
