Two Steps Forward, Three Months Back

Typical for my luck. Just typical.

Remember I was gonna move to a new unit. All nice and dandy, and all. I was actually very psyched about it, and everything (well, 87% done) is in boxes, but my clothes, a few plates, and my computer.

Then...

I get a call from the landlady...

Seems the landlady I go though just collects the payments and owns the building, and she hired someone to rent out the units. And it also seems they don't talk to one another. They rented out the last apartment. My apartment. Just a few days ago. Nevermind that I've been saying I wanted a unit for months. Nevermind that the landlady and her husband promised me that. Nevermind that I even had a walkthough, took measurements, made plans. All for naught.

Yes, they screwed up big time. And, I once again suffer fools.

She did say I was "welcome" to stay in my unit...For 3 months. I'll be living on boxes and bags for three months. It'll be like living in a freight train. Any other units available? Nope...they forgot to serve an eviction to two units, so those units will have to be served in February. Then the occupants leave. THEN, they have to refurbish and tear out the whole unit. Another month. Hopefully, in April, they'll remember I need a place to stay, too!

Somehow...I don't have much faith in that.

If you see an empty appliance box on the side of the road, could you tell me if it's furnished?
God, I need more cowbell right about now...
