and I'm sitting at home....I had today off of work and was supposed to get a whole lot of stuff done but spent the morning looking for a new roommate.....
So yesterday I decided to drive my car to work instead of take the train. I parked at a meter and went out 25 minutes late to 'feed' it and got a ticket 10 minutes earlier ...so the dude must have been standing there just waiting for my time to run out....So anyway my fault I shoulda been on time. I take the ticket off the window put my dollar in for another two hrs. So I made sure to go out on time and I walk out and there's a boot on my car...WTF????
I paid all my parking tickets in Dec so I could get my car inspected because I think you won't pass if your in a nonrenewal status, so I call up and I had 3 tickets from last April and may.???? I swear to god I've paid these already but it doesn't matter I have to bring them proof that I paid them, still pay the full amount to get the boot off and if they decide I did in fact pay the tickets they will issue me a refund.... So I scrounge up the $325 to be able to drive my car home.
I get back to work after going to pay the fucking City of Cambridge and decide that since my roommate did not respond to my text message on Sat, requesting that he pay the other $220 he owes me for the bills, I would send him another txt message.
"U absolutely NEED to leave the rest of the money u owe for bills tnite or first thing tmorrow am."
I wait half an hour but no response. So I call up and leave him a voice mail.
Adrian its Jess I'm calling you just in case your text messages aren't working today......
...side note the first time, about a week and a half into his residence here, I asked him for money, the $400 last months rent that should've been paid before he moved in, he told me he didn't get the message his phone was broke....and oh yeah the check bounced and I had to drive to his work to get cash...
to ask you to bring by, no you NEED, to come by with the rest of the bill money. The oil bill was 2 months overdue and I had to come up with the money because we needed more and they wouldn't fill it without it being paid. So my personal bills are on hold right now. I made it perfectly clear how much bills were before you moved in and that they needed to be paid on time. If I could afford to pay them myself I wouldn't have got a roommate. If you could give me a call I'd appreciate it.....
So apparently this message did the trick...I finally got a response out of him...he sent me a text message...
Obviously this is not working. Neither one of us is comfortable at all. I'll have my stuff out by this weekend. Use my deposit for whatever I owe you.
Okay asshole the only thing I'm uncomfortable with is someone who doesn't pay their bills. Had you not ignored my requests for money from day 1 and then the very first check you write me bounces and you don't even apologize for it when I have to drive to your work to get cash so the checks I sent out, after I deposited it, wouldn't bounce. Then had you not ignored me and told me your phone was broken every time I tried to communicate with you I wouldn't have a problem at all.
I stayed in my bedroom all the time so you had complete run of the apartment. I hung out with you and all your friends on super bowl. I invited you to play poker with me and my friends. I was the only one that cleaned, not just do my own dishes but actually cleaned, swept up and cleaned the toilet and the sink, vacuumed. We hardly ever even saw each other. I wasn't home when you were and you weren't when I was. It was a pretty good arrangement except I had balls enough to keep on you for the bills (especially since every time I saw you you had a new Banana bag in your hand so why couldn't you pay bills)...and apparently that made you uncomfortable. FUCK YOU!!!!
So after all that looking for a roommate which sucks because I think I scare people off with my honesty and straight forwardness Amy called me with a favor so I spent lunch with her and got back around 3:30 then I vacuumed my car and went to get it washed came back did the dishes separated the recycling and then came on here and saw a comment on my ex's page from the new hang out buddy. So now I'm even more pissed off and depressed and instead of finishing my cleaning I did nothing. Woo hoo things are great right now
So really this is good I'll be spending time with my new nephew and my old nephew tomorrow(so pics soon) and then plan on drowning myself in booze at the St Pats parade in southie on Sun....
Arrgggh!!!!!
Hang in their sweetie! Good for you toget your money, the ex-roomate sounds like an ass.
