...as some of you may know, when it comes to LJ, I am the worst lurker ever! But I'm curious.... I haven't seen a new post from any of my LJ friends in almost a week. Has everyone really gotten that quiet or is LJ just not letting me see your posts?

Nov. 3rd, 2009 @ 06:51 pm A house at last!! ...we hope...
Well, hopefully we have jumped through our last flaming hoop and will be closing on a house next Monday.  So the rest of this week and all of next will be a flurry of Pack/Clean/Move/Repeat....   While I am grateful beyond words for our hosts patience and infinite kindness in allowing us to live in their home for well over a year, it truly is time to move into a place of our own.  I never expected our stay with friends to last as long as it has... heck, we started house hunting in June!

So here we are 6 days away.... I'm holding my breath!  Saying a prayer! ...and hoping that nothing goes wrong!!!

Feel free to join me.... we can use all the help we can get!

Current Mood: worried
A while back a decision was made at my work....  it was a shortcut, it meant that something important wasn't being done correctly.  I agreed to abide by the decison and to perform a task incorrectly.  A couple of months later upper management finally noticed that the task in question was being done incorrectly and ordered me to do it right.... and so now I am doing it correctly.  

On Saturday, upper management decided to blame me for the decision and thus write me up....   I informed them that, I was not the source of the decision and that I was only following my supervisor's orders.  So tonight my supervisor gets to state his case... if he tells the truth, I'll be fine... if he doesn't, well we'll see.....

Isn't life grand!

Well, our second attempt at buying a house has ended in failure!!  So back out we go to find something to put a bid on while we still have time...

It's fustrating! It's annoying!  We are doing everything that we a supposed to do- but we keep getting screwed over.  I guess the only people that are allowed to buy houses are those that can afford 60k and up!!! 

What makes it worse is that we are on a deadline....  we only have so long to find a house before we run out of time to get the special tax credit...and  the clock is ticking on our current residence.

(Did I mention that I have some truly wonderful and patient friends!)

Anyway, wish us luck!!!

I have come to a couple of conclusions:

1.  Banks are Jerks!
2. Realtors are useless!
3. ....and I'm never going to find a good house in my price range!

My wife and I shared a wonderful, romantic and candlelit dinner this evening.  There is nothing quite like spending time sharing life with the person you love.

Tonight I take the Wal-Mart management aptitude test... wish me luck!

That's all, take it easy!
