My So-Called Internet Based Life

Friday. Finally.

I am insanely busy at work. Last week I finally got sick of trying to call agents and bankers and get things scheduled, so I sent out 14 faxes saying basically: This is when your file expires. If I don’t have documents by X date, it will not close and you will have to pay HUD $325 for an extension for the buyer. I am missing the following documents. Please contact me in order to schedule a closing.

Well, contact me they have and so the last three days have been a nightmare of phone calls and paperwork all over the place, and next week I have a bunch of closings scheduled, and I don’t even want to look at the week of the 26th again until I can get through today. Gah. I guess I was asking for it when I sent them all on the same day, but I was so fed up. They wait until the last minute and then call me screaming that things are going smoothly.

No kidding, dipshit. You had 45 days to do this. Why are you doing in now, when you only have three days left? Didn’t anyone teach you to plan?

I’ve also been house-sitting for the world’s most annoying 15-year-old cocker spaniel this week. Their house is 20 miles farther from where I work than my parents’ house is, effectively doubling my commute. Driving any more than a few blocks here is a nightmare, so a 35 mile commute does not exactly make me rosy-cheeked in the morning. At least I have garage parking at their house. And curt has been staying with me, because their house is about 2 minutes from where he works. This is also nice because he can go let the dog out on his lunch so she doesn’t pee in the house.

I was supposed to be doing some stuff the weekend of 1/31, 2/7, and 2/14 for which I was going to get almost a thousand bucks. I can’t do it now because my grandmother’s 80th birthday party thing is 2/7 and my family would shoot me if I don’t go. However, I really need the money and I wish I could still do it…I would be able to pay off my DUI and my lawyer and then I would be able to start saving for an apartment. So sick of living with my parents.

Maybe something will work out. Sigh. Cranky & wish I hadn’t had to come to work today, so I could have lay in bed all morning and then made some eggs and watched a movie or something. I’m in one of those laying around sort of moods.
