I spent a week in Seattle getting trained in useful things. Spent my evenings exploring. Went up the Space Needle for the first time. Ate excellent foods. Didn’t get to play in the Pier 59 Aquarium because they close early on weekdays.
On the way home I got on the volunteer list for bumpage in the event of an over-booked flight. I did get bumped and thereby upgraded to “Economy Plus” - which is the seat at the front bulkhead or exit row - and a voucher for a round-trip flight anywhere in the contiguous 48. So I get to visit somebody soonish, yay. The best part was that my itenerary took me through Chicago O’Hare where no flight is ever on time and half are canceled. As a result of being bumped, I was moved to a connecting flight from O’Hare - one of three such flights that weren’t canceled. So I wasn’t stranded and thousands of people were. Hahaha. I only laugh because it wasn’t me this time. I’ve spent enough nights on an airport floor to feel mirth at their pain. Especially since I got home and got perks. So great.
Upon arriving home I learned that I would be evicted on Monday. This is the last month in my current lease. When I asked if this month’s rent was prorated until the 23rd, the Resident Services rep said yes and told me how much. I thought it seemed low, but she confirmed the number three times so I finally wrote it down and went to Seattle. Seems she was mistaken. I got it all cleared up yesterday, but I still have to get to the accounting office tomorrow before they bring the Sheriff around. Fun fun fun! I’m signed on for another year with these folks, but I think it’ll be the last. Time to look for landlords who will call me when there’s a problem.
Update complete.
The cats smell the same as they did last time I mentioned them. I wonder what they were rolling in to change their scents.
