About to blow a gasket

I am seriously ticked off with the post office.

 

I ordered prints from Snapfish a MONTH ago. Still haven’t received them. Because I had not yet received them by June 4th, Snapfish resubmitted my order at no additional cost to me. Still haven’t received those either, so they’re putting the order in AGAIN. I double checked my address in there – it’s correct.

I also bought a new AC adaptor for my laptop on eBay. The guy shipped it on the 12th. Still haven’t received that, either.

And today, there were two items in my mailbox that belong to someone two doors down from me.

 

Oh, and Meredith, they sent your package back to me because apparantly they couldn’t find your address. *rolls eyes* I sent it back out today, and TYPED your address in a big ol’ font so they can very clearly see it, lol.

 

How flippin’ hard is it to deliver mail in a prompt manner to the correct address?

 

And my air conditioner is on the fritz again. Joy.

 

In other news….another opportunity has presented itself to us. One of the guys that Jake works with is a courtesy officer for one of the local apartment places, but he and his wife are buying a house. Jake could take over his spot and we’d take over their actual apartment, too. It’s a three bedroom place, and Jake looked up the calls for service for the area and there were maybe four in the past 9 months, and none of them were anything major. Jake says the outside isn’t much to look at, and the roads in the complex aren’t so great, but we’re supposed to go over there on Thursday to take a look at the inside. Another bonus is that Jake would be a tiny bit closer to work, and I’d be a little bit closer to some of the places I do our shopping at. We’d also actually live in Jake’s division.

The downside is that they’re looking to move out in like, August or September, and our lease isn’t actually up until the end of October, so I need to find out about breaking our lease early.

But here’s the thing – Herrera (the guy Jake works with) talked to the property manager about us and all that, and they’re willing to let us pay – get this – $275 a month. Herrera’s paying $450 a month! Jake says maybe they liked that Herrera mentioned we’re both ex-military or something. Anyway, that’d be a savings of almost $500 a month, which could be used towards either paying down remaining debt and/or saving towards buying a house.

As long as the inside isn’t crappy, I think we ought to go for it as long as we can get out of our lease here. Guess I’ll find out on Thursday!

That’s about all for now. Guess I’ll go find something to eat for lunch….
