Always and Never

The title is a joke and has no actual relavance to this entry.

I had a *crappy* week a few weeks ago.

My parents came into town. Usually a fun and fantastic thing as they always come bearing money which changes into clothes and food that i need. Except, they didn't know that someone was living with me. Well...not living with me as in 'hi, we're living together' so much as I had a roommate of the oposite sex that they didn't know about. So, I had to break that news. To my astonishment, they said i'm old enough to make my own decisions. They weren't as forgiving about my cat. I've had a cat for a year. They HATE cats. They met my cat. They warned me about the evils of cats. I'm keeping him. They were supposed to be here from Thursday night to mid-day Sunday. Saturday they asked me what i'm doing on Sunday. "well, i'm going to church, and i'd really like you guys to come" *insert hopeful smile*. "No. That's ok. You do what you feel you need to. We're Catholic. We'll just go home". Our church just split. Drama on that non-stop but it had JUST happened, the kids in my youth didn't even know about it yet, we were going to use this sunday's lesson to talk to them about it. It made me feel alwful. Beyond awful. But I let them go, it's their choice and they're beyond mature enough to make their own choices.

Monday.
I get up, get ready, head off to work. A little late, yes, but only by minutes. There's an envlope on my door. It's from my landowners. Grab it and head off to work (Barnes and Noble) that's the important thing. Before I go inside, I open it up. YOU HAVE 3 DAYS TO VACATE. In big bold print. They say I owe 1000 dollars. I run inside B&N and ask if I can come back because I need to speak with my landowners, something isn't right. "No, I'm sorry. You asked off the other day and we simply cannot be having this". "But, I have the letter RIGHT HERE. It's an emergency". "I'm sorry, you can't even punch in now and work your shift. Just leave. Please, stop talking to me - I can't even talk to you anymore without another manager present". I leave in tears. Elessar257 almost went in there and ripped them to peices. I went to the leasing place. They saw my cat in the window. Twice. That's 400 dollars that I owe.

Now, I have until August to figure out what to do. I could move in with Elessar257 and his mom, pay a small fee for renting out a spare room in the garage and get a job somewhere in Fort Worth, OR I could move in with a friend whom I love, but can get a little....annoying....once in a blue moon. But, she has 3 cats, a dog and it's a 1 bedroom apt in Dallas.


I'm tired of working two-bit little jobs. I want to finish school and I want to teach. I want a better job. I almost don't even care where it is anymore. I know which side God is pushing me towards. Perhaps that is simply the better solution. He knows better than I do and I should just give it up and allow Him to do what it is He does.

It was a somewhat lonely weekend.

Why did you have a cat? And welcome back

So you weren't allowed to have a cat? They charged you $400 each time they saw the cat in the window? Or $500? wtf? How did it all add up to $1000? And why didn't they warn you before evicting you?

Does it say that they'll do that in your lease? Because if it doesn't say that in your lease, I don't see why you have to pay it, or leave. Plus, they should have told you the first time they saw your cat in the window. It isn't appropriate to keep charging you a fine without notifying you, even if it is in your lease. There must be somewhere for the cat to go, eh? No reason to put huge stress and thousands of dollars in fines in your life when there must be some sort of solution for the cat. It seems like if you (or someone who is emotionally detached from the situation) went in and had a really reasonable and even-tempered chat with the leasing people that you would be able to strike some kind of arrangement.

My parents hate cats, too. My roommate has two of them. They make our house filthy, but they're amusing.

As side info.
Helena keeps blaming it on her cat, but I'm quite certain it wasn't her cat that they saw on the window in the first place. While I was working one day (I was a security gaurd at a shopping center), I found a stray kitten walking around in the shopping center, underneath cars, skinny & frail, covered in grease, and trying to get people to pet her. She couldn't have been older than 4 weeks old or so. So, I asked my supervisor what we could do. He basically told me that there was nothing we could do, because animal control couldn't come pick her up 'till tomorrow morning. So, after much thinking I called a mutual friend of my and Helena's to come and get off the property so it wouldn't get run over or die or anything like that. She came, picked it up, took it home, bathed it, and fed it. But she couldn't keep it at her place for a while so Helena took it into her house for about a week. The week that she got those fines.

Also, she never actually received any notices and when we told that to the property owners they said that it's not their fault and that maybe somebody else came by and took it off her door, but in either case it's not their problem.


I wanted to rip everyone into shreds that day.
The only reason I didn't was because Helena kept pleading me not to.
