Yes, I'm being fecicious.
I was supposed to get my keys today. I called the Super. Needless to say, the apartment is not ready.
In fact, he did not even know until today that the apartment had been rented. People showed up to work on the cabinets and countertop in the kitchen, and that's how he found out the place was taken. They still have to work on the stove, clear out the clutter, sand and polish the floors, paint the walls, etc. I think I have realized that 'cleaning' and apartment by New York standards is not even close to cleaning a place by Santa Barbara or Los Angeles standards, and I am expecting to still have to give the place a thorough scrubbing before Ashley arrives.
Oh, but Ashley left TODAY on her cross-country journey. She arrives on Sunday. The Super said I would be able to get in by Friday at the earliest. The EARLIEST.
So tomorrow I get the privelege of calling my broker, my landlord, and my Super and yell at them until they understand that they are breaking my lease before it even starts! Grrr. I just want to settle in to my place and feel comfortable in the city. Is that so difficult?!

make sure you get a reduction in rent for the few days that you aren't going to be in there... (i'm supposing that you were paying a pro-rated amount for the 1/2 month)
that's just bullsh*t!
I can't wait until your internet is up and running and you can write about all the "fun" we had these past few days! It was incredible, great memories for me, thanks for the hospitality- I love you! Button
