should have seen this from a mile away

So here I am at work, sore from the move-a-thon yesterday, when I get this text from my Realtor: “Just funded!!! Recording tomorrow!!! Praise God“. Finally some good news! I guess they decided not to take me up on the urine sample I offered. So I ask if that means I’ll get my keys Tuesday or Wednesday, to which she responds “Tomorrow or late tonight“. Awesome, right?

/sigh

Yeah, I know. I shouldn’t have bought it either. What can I say, I was tired, and I wanted to believe. Just four and a half hours later I get a new email from her – “Looks like we will not be recording tomorrow as planned…” Turns out the close date, the same problem that screwed me up last Monday, is back for more. I guess they didn’t know how optimistic they were being when they picked the 23rd for the extention, and not knowing the full extent of their duncery I agreed that five days was certainly reasonable. “What happens if it takes longer” I even asked. “Don’t worry, it’ll be before Friday anyways.” Ha! And of course no one thought about the evaporating deadline as it whizzed past, it would have been far too easy to send an updated extension with the report waiver getting signed.

Shoot me. Shoot me now.
