slipjig3Talked to landlord this morning, who said that we actually have until the end of May to get moved out, provided we pay the back amount on the heating bill by the end of the week. We can do that. (This is the heating bill, by the way, that: (a) they started charging for a year and a half ago, saying it was a temporary winter thing in light of increasing fuel costs, then added it to the lease as a permanent item; (b) does not reflect actual heat/hot water usage, but rather is prorated from the building's total heating costs; and (c) is therefore a variable amount per month, but one which we do not receive a bill for unless we have fallen behind, thus making it our responsibility on a monthly basis to hunt them down and find out what we owe, which was rather difficult when the office was only open 6 hours a week at inconvenient times due to the birth of the clerk's child. But I digress.)
So the situation has been downgraded from PANIC to merely panic, which I can pretty much live with. Still need to find a place to live, but at least we don't have to go diving at something imperfect and overpriced simply because it's available now and will accept our cats. And the place still needs to be cleaned from stem to stern (becuzz it are disgustipating), but this can be done in more manageable steps. We're already discussing which items can be gotten rid of in the de-cluttering process, so watch this space for offers of Free Junk in the coming weeks.
And now to the showers, and then back to coughing into the ears of customers. The fun, it never stops.
