yeah, another backtrack

sometimes days go by, or daze, even, and i pop back in time to put a few words into this blog cuz, after all, it's written daily, at least, ya know?... and today was yet another in a series of way too busy days at work where not enough got done and then jackson decided it was pizza night (and i almost never say no to pizza night) so two very expensive pizzas were ordered from mellow mushroom and we pigged out (seriously, an epic pigging out did occur)... then, the bad news...

arriving home i found a notice at the door that warned of eviction if the rent was not paid... so what happened to the auto-pay i had authorized for more than two years that the new office staff (and the old office staff and every office staff at every apartment community that was owned by Equity Residential) said "no problem, the auto-pay will transfer as soon as you sign the lease", i wondered... i rushed over to the office and found it locked, but one of the staff came to the door and did not have answers about why the auto-pay did not switch over and refused to take a check saying i could only pay with a money order and when i asked why a check was ok last month there was, again, no answer... meanwhile, they want $78 in a late fee... very curious way of extorting a late fee from a resident...

so i wrote a few emails to their corporate offices and hopefully will find some responses on monday and then, we can discuss what went wrong and why my rent check was refused and whether they actually want me to pay rent and how i can actually do that... they can also explain how they justify a late fee when they stopped my auto-pay and refused my check...

meanwhile, the night ended with a celebration as i consumated the price savings deal with sears and had $251 dollars (and tax) credited to my credit card so yay for saving money (and still free delivery)...

the pizza was insane :)
