I've waffled on back to staying for the debt repayment. 65% paid off before next week's payment goes through, & 75% of my creditors have accepted deals. I feel like being over the halfway point &, by the time this contract is up in July, I'll be past 70% paid off hopefully (still waiting on Chase to accept deal on remaining $6,000). I just won't be able to leave with the strong chance I can't continue the program & get those all paid off. Also, there's that whole difficulty of the job thing: how to secure a full-time or sufficiently paying jobs by March/April but not being able to start full time until July. So right now I'm working on getting a part time editing/writing job lined up to make faster progress on those payments, get more of my student loans paid off, & get that extra $2000 or so in pension when I leave. Plus I'll feel less worried about the remote job timeline if I already have something I'm doing & can add to the resume, that is likewise ensuring I have SOME income.
Today of all days (as it's the day before a long weekend, the Lunar New Year), Sue got it into her head to start getting shit on my apartment straightened out. You see, despite EVERYONE BUT ME BEING & SPEAKING KOREAN, everything has been a series of misunderstandings via miscommunications!
For one thing, the estate agent never did go into my apartment-- I guess the building maintenance/security guy did, & she took his word for what he reported. When she put in a request for a new fridge, her boss ignored it because we're close to a college, so lots of students live in our building, & they all wanted new appliances. Needlessly. So he's drowning in requests that he's not going to fulfill. So he thought my fridge was one of THOSE.
On the stove & fridge as well, we have been waiting for delivery or repair guys we thought were coming, whereas my building was waiting on me to say, "Nope, everything is STILL broken! Time didn't fix it, weirdly," before doing anything.
Sue & Anna confirmed the plumber came & taped the pipe under the sink, though both said that's not supposed to be a permanent fix & someone SHOULD fix that as one would normally expect it to be done.
Sue said she was sorry, & estate agent will either go in today or come tomorrow. OH! And the estate agent couldn't order the fridge anyway because, not having been in my apartment, she didn't know the dimensions.
The unbelievable, continuing saga of my broken apartment.
You mean to tell me that time did NOT heal the broken pipe and appliances? What kind of nonsense world do you live in? Everyone knows that appliances regenerate broken parts like lizards and their tails. Duh.
