House inspections
I hate them... our property managers in Canberra were the most nazi-esque, anally retentive women on earth... the one down here is much more relaxed, but for the first couple of inspections I didn't realise this and was freaking out in a bad way... all my housemates down here were being very blase and thus I stressed even more... I spent hours in the dark ripping out handfuls of green from the garden beds that were probably weeds, but I couldn't really tell in that light...
Turns out the lady just wandered around the house and glanced at things... I spent all that time cleaning the windows and washing out the window tracks and weeding the back garden for nothing...
*also ends rant* Scarred for life, I tell you...
Arm sounds owee, but it looks awesome
Today there needs to be shopping for a wedding present for some friends of ours... other than that, SFA for the whole long weekend
my flatmate bron was getting a bit stressed about this one, because a) the owners were coming & b) the last time the owners came (without warning, mind you - totally illegal, which we didn't realise at the time) they tore us apart, not because we'd done any damage - mainly because we thought they were wanting to get a family as tennants or because they were going to sell. so yeah, poor bron was freeaking out a bit, but it's logic right - if we keep this house & garden well and the place is tidy and we're not inflicting any structural damage then we're in the clear.
yeah - a lot of our rent inspections are like that, literally 30 seconds in & out to make sure we haven't burnt the place down
i'm hanging out with a couple of friends this afternoon who didn't know i was getting it (tattoo) done, so i'm not going to say anything - just wait until they notice
can't wait for their reaction!
cool! long weekend...must be a victorian one cos i don't think we have one...more and more i appreciate having SFA to dao - i think it's living in the city. ah, wedding presents - no pressure there
