Having your moving plans fall through at the last minute, that's what!!!
I could scream, but I doubt that would make it any better.
We were supposed to move this weekend. We're almost all packed up; everything but the computer, bed and cats are good to go. For the last 2 weeks, I've been playing phone tag with my soon-to-be landlord's daughter, who lives in the house currently, about setting up a time that I could start moving stuff over into the garage.
Finally got ahold of her and we agreed we could start bringing stuff over today. She and her sister are supposed to move out in 48 hours, and we'd move in the following day.
Got there with an SUV full of stuff, and lo and behold...they have not even begun to pack. The house is a disaster area. There is old furniture (which was not there 3 weeks ago when we looked at the place) tossed out in the backyard. The landlord's comment? "It will be there for a few months until we can get a place to store it." She has delusions that her daughters will be able to pack up the entire house and move it in 2 days. It would take an army of movers to accomplish this.
Ok, end of rant. we'll be staying in the mountains, land of dial-up internet and no cable TV, for at least one more month. All this trouble and we haven't even signed a lease yet! Who knows what would happen over the course of a year lease?
Back to the drawing board.....
