Just needed to vent...this week has been a very stressful one. Naturally, the week itself has included some of the usual at-work stupidity with SCs, although they haven't been awful enough to really make me all that upset on their own. No, the worst parts of this week have been the parts I found out about while I was at home.
First, on Thursday, I found out about a news story about the place where I had a townhouse rented for about 5-6 years. Apparently, some of the high-rise apartment buildings in that complex have had to be evacuated and shut down because they found asbestos in them. I would feel ok, since i never lived in those buildings, but the management company there is being extremely dodgy, and so no one knows if there was asbestos in other buildings or not. Which means that, potentially, I spent years in a townhouse with horrible shit that contaminates things, and causes cancer. Yay.
So, that was annoying...but I could reasonably put that to the back of my mind. InFamous Second Son came out on Friday, which was a nice distraction, and I was gleefully playing it before work when my fiancee came to come talk to me...and he said the most unexpected thing ever.
"Our landlord was just murdered."
Yeah. Apparently, he was indeed. Now, these days we've been renting a house with a group of friends, so now we have to worry about all kinds of stress items: when/how will someone contact us in the house? Was he still married, or had his divorce gone through? Is someone inheriting the house, or is it going to go to the bank? How long is it going to be before we're told to pack up and move?
So yeah, this week's been weird. I really just want to call off work tonight and break things to relax, but I guess I'd better stock up on extra cash now, just in case we have to move in a hurry...I want a cookie
