What’s going to happen tomorrow?

Let’s see. Where did I leave off? Ah, yes. Office Space in real life. Ok, so like, I think I told you I’d found an apartment in downtown Seattle, so that was exciting. I was going to get the paperwork on that started last week, but because of the snow, the apartment stuff got pushed back a week. But, like, today...well, no, yesterday, I started filling out the paperwork and the apartment manager started doing the background checks; the primary two being a verification of funds with my bank and a verification of employment with my employer.

Well, the bank stuff came back just fine. But for some strange reason, my employment verification didn’t come through. I asked the manager on duty yesterday if he’d faxed the verification to the apartment manager and he said he had. But when I checked today, I found that no fax had been sent.

So, I called again today and got a different manager saying that the fax had been sent. Since none had been received, I asked if another could be faxed. She said she would.

I waited...and none came.

So then the apartment manager called my employer to ask for the fax and he (the apartment manager) got lectured at by my manger that she was “trying to run a business” and didn’t have time to send the fax right now.

Umm...ok. So it looks like I’m not the only one that these managers don’t want to talk to. What I suspect is what I said in my last post; that they hired me as a seasonal but didn’t bother to tell me. I guess that’s fine, but the thing is, if they don’t send the confirmation, then I won’t qualify for the apartment and I’ll be looking for both another job and an apartment. If that ends up being the case, then I do have a Plan B. But first I’ll see what happens tomorrow...
