So, on Sunday, he gives me $45 dollars, saying he&#8217;ll give me another $5 later.  I just looked at him, then told him I thought it was supposed to $600 total, of which the $45(50) only brings it up to $300.  He told me there must have been a miscommucation.    He apparently thought I only wanted him to pay for 1 of the months he owes me, instead of both.  He said he gets paid on Friday.  Simple mistake, I&#8217;m sure.  <\/p>\n<p>My ass.  Just another &#8220;1984&#8221; style re-write of his mental history.  And this on the heels of the Big Apoligy.<\/p>\n<p>This is the last week for that nonsense.  I left a note for him to call me today so we can go over some last details for Thursday.  I&#8217;m going to contact the landlord to get the locks changed on Friday.    I&#8217;ve got one little glimmer of hope left, but I&#8217;m pretty sure anyway that he&#8217;s going to be an ass. <\/p>\n<p>For the record, if the situations were reversed, I would have been out of there by September 5th. <\/p>\n<p>In other news&#8230;   Got home from dinner on Saturday, with plans for movie watching and a hot cup of tea.  Unfortuantly, those plans were put on hold for a bit, since my first step into the apartment was right into dog-crap.  Yep, a whole heaping, steaming pile of it.  The dogs were banished to the basement for the duration of the clean-up &#8211; took us a while.  Carpet, shoes &#8211; and as an added bonus, a puddle of dog piss at the top of the stairs.  Number one reason I don&#8217;t have a pet.  Put me in a really bad mood for the rest of the evening.  My room-mate&#8217;s girlfriend was apoligetic, but not nearly enough so.  She took the dogs out for a walk as soon as we explained what had happened &#8211; which is a nice gesture, but clearly too late.    The dogs may be mad at me &#8211; since I yell at them when they try to come in my room.  Good thing I keep my door closed.<\/p>\n<p>And so this doesn&#8217;t end up an entirely bad blog, I&#8217;ve got some good news.  I finally figured out what I&#8217;m wearing for my Halloween costume.  Not scary this time, but it should be cool.  And it shouldn&#8217;t be too complicated to set up &#8211; though I&#8217;m still short on time.   I won&#8217;t say more about it &#8211; I want it to be a surprise, but it should be cool.<\/p>\n<p>Back to work&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-109749715521329350?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All weekend long, my room-mate kept telling me that he hadn&#8217;t forgotten about me &#8211; that he was going to pay the rest of the rent he owned me on Sunday.
