Does Cgy hate me?
July 30th

ok talk about a crazy and wild few daysafter the whole bashing incident and getting beaten up on Sat... I finally found an apartment on Monday... right downtown.. really amazing.. and relatively cheap..I gave the apt dude a cheque for the security deposit, but we I wasnt able to sign the lease because the office was closed... he was jsut the site superintendent and they have a main office that handles the leases... so anyways... I was like wow.. things were really improving then a lady at work was going to sell me a mini dachshund.. and I got all excited about that....so after work I went down to sign the papers... and when I get there... the apt dude just looked at me as if he didnt know who I was... and I said I was here to sign for unit 204... and he said.. "who are you?" and at this point I could feel my neck get red ... (I have huge visible veins in the neck now from living in Cgy for 3 months).... he then said..." oh right.. someone came in today and outbid you for the apartment by $200...sorry better luck next time" OMG at this point I freaked....I said " well we shook on it" but that apparently doesn't mean much in these parts..so he told me to leave his office.. and I then demanded my security deposit back... and he refused.. saying that I should trust him that he wont cash it well it's needless to say where my vein went after that statement by the apt dude... I then got very angry and demanded he hand me my check that instant otherwise I would put his head threw the desk..** i have never been so violent before moving out to Alberta*** anyways... after that I calmed down.. and then drove around the city for 3 hours.. calling every building that had a phone number on it to no avail...I even started to go up to different apartment buildings and ring the superintendent...and with the biggest puppy dogged eyes asked them " will you let me live here?"/// but nothing..... :( I will keep on looking for a place... but at this rate oh well?.. I know I promised not to give up on Calgary... but maybe .. just maybe there is a fat lady somewhere getting ready to sing...
