I’ve been flaked.

So, in an attempt to find out when the new person is moving in (since, for those of you keeping score, Zombywoof moved out), I tried to call her a few times.  No answer.  My patience was being tried, but I made it clear the place was hers if she’d just tell me

1.)  when I should be here to help with move-in and give her a key

That’s it.  The communication was sucking hardcore between us.  I had to tell two people (one was someone I knew) that they couldn’t live here because someone else had taken it.

She called me and said for "personal reasons," she wouldn’t be living here.  She was getting kicked out today, doesn’t have a place, and isn’t living with me for "personal reasons."

Well, screw it.  If we couldn’t communicate on how to handle the phone or when I had to let her in the apartment, how were we gonna discuss who was gonna clean or how we’d share various bills?

I immediately called the guy I knew, he’ll check out the place Thursday.  He wouldn’t stay a whole year, but it’d be a quick enough stay such that he moves out at a good time to replace him, and Z will still be around to switch everything over to the person "post-that guy".  Basically, if he takes it, that’s ideal for all parties.

The circumstances of the "flaking" today were a little weird, but if the new arrangement works, I’ll be glad not to be living with her.
