Argh! it's me again griping about the whole roommate thing, now word from her and I'm forced to pay the rent in full!! I tapped into my swiss bank account a.k.a. my savings so that I could pay it. Oh well, I hope that she made it or else...Nino is coming tomorrow!! I'm so excited, we're picking him up from Reagan at 1 pm I still have to do a lot of stuff like pack and try cleaning the apartment I also need to pick up the aero bed from my aunt's place, because up to now I still don't have a bed, I can't afford it (but I can afford to go to NY for the weekend) a girl just have to know how to prioritize and so far having fun and being with my friends is on top of my list instead of a buying stupid bed heheheheheh bad nikki

Well, well it's been a while ince I've updated, my roomie is currently in Canada, getting her G4 visa from the American consulate there so now that I've got the covered let me give a sigh of relief *sigh* and the only thing that we're waiting now is that could she come back to DC in time, which I have a feeling that she might hmmm...so far my instincts are correct, so I'll think I'll go with that. I'm currently broke, and my friend from Michigan is coming to visit us on Saturday (then we'll be heading off to NY on the 4th of July weekend) and that means tapping my savings for some spending money and using my trusty old visa, this will set me back for like a couple of months, but hey we're only young once and it's just money right?? uh? right? *sigh* I'm just trying to convice myself oh well it's working *grins*

So the good news is I got the apartment, we already signed the lease and paid the first month's rent, me and my roommate were already discussing what to do with the decorations and stuff, how to make our place look more than a a dorm room but a cozy apartment, and then I got the bad news. She called me last night and told me if I knew anyone from the Canadian Embassy or the State Department, apparently she was denied a Canadian visa (she needs to go out to Canada so that could issue her a G4 visa), so now everything is in limbo and I could end up roommate-less and penniless hmmm..why does it always happen to me???? I know it was too good to be true...well weird thing is if confronted with this dilemma I would curse and whine and be a big baby, well that was then, now I feel calm, cool and composed well maybe because it really hasn't hit me (i might start to panic once July hits and she's still visa-less), I just feel that if it's bound to happen it's bound to happen, I really couldn't do anything about it it wouldn't also do me any good if I run around panicking I would just end up stressed out which I don't want to I'm pretty sure that everything will work out for the best. Just gotta have a little faith

Ack! I'm really stressed out right now, last Tuesday I went ot look at this place in DC, the location was nie it was near to the metro, restaurants and the church it was/is perfect and to top it all off I have a roommate so the cost of living alone will no longer be in an issue. However they still ned to verify my employment, and requested a letter from our HR department, anyhoo I asked the person in charge of that if she could make me one, and she sid okay--that was yesterday and today she is out sick and the manager of the apartment building called me up and asked me about the letter because they have to make a decision and that my roommate already faxed hers, so now I have up to 6 pm to submit it to them. You don't know how it is here in the office a simple letter could take like 1 week to finish all the red tape you have to go through, all the incompetent people you have to deal with. It's just one lousy, stinking letter! so you know what I did, I wrote it myself and know I'm hoping that our supervisor will sign it or that if there are any corrections needed to be made, I would be informed a.s.a.p so that I would be able to make any changes and fax it. It's sooooo frustrating!!!! sometimes I just want to scream at them, no wonder employee morale is very low and that people here at the office are not motivated to work this sucks ass! argh!!!!!! I'm hoping that I could beat the deadline or else I would have to forfeit the place why oh why did it have to happen to me??? I know it's a pretty shallow thing to be upset with but I've had it up to here with this people, they always do this to me I feel like I've been shortchanged oh well don't blame me if I slack off work I'm just unmotivated...
