Triumph!

I feel like I've come 180 degrees today. When I got the hotel today I was really frustrated. Frustrated with so many things that I couldn't do anything about. The main two at that point were our old apartment complex and my employer. I've been playing phone tag for about 3 weeks with our old complex. They said we owed them money. They sent us a letter about it. Tanya went over there. They said they'd get back to us. They never did. Collections started calling us. We went back over there. They said they'd call us. Collections called us. The apartment never called us back. Even when we called. And called. And called. So I got really mad. Molly talked to her lawyer boss. Confirmed that what they were doing was illegal. We were running out of time. They weren't calling us back. I wasn't paying money I didn't owe. Finally today, after a million unreturned calls I yelled (as much as I can) at two innocent receptionists. One finally decided to stop being stupid. She finally called me back after 2 calls today and said they weren't charging us the rent for when we didn't live there. That's awfully nice of them. It's really said when you have to be a complete jerk to get anything accomplished. But I am very, very relieved that it's taken care of. I'm still going to call the collections people to make sure it actually happened. I don't want to have to go through the hassle of getting it taken off my credit.

I also decided I have to do something about the way I feel about work these days. I'm still not sure what to do but I went for a walk around Lafayette. I don't know if it was the physical activity, the nice scenery, the sun, or the awesome sandwich I ate but I feel better. I have to get up at 4:10am tomorrow so I'm going to watch some tv and go to sleep soon. I'm too much fun. At least I'm not a grouch now.
