So on Tuesday I finally got the lady L on the phone. She said I was all set to move in, just had to get the housing manager D to sign something and I would be in by the end of the week. A little relief, but I will be relieved when I am all moved in and laying in my bed in my room. So I held my breath. Call me tomorrow after 3. Ok no problem. I call Wednesday after 3, can't get her on the phone. Call all day Thursday, nothing. Then Friday morning I call. She isn't in yet. I call several more times. Nothing. Last night inside the warehouse was hot. Uncomfortable. Outside is the perfect cool breezy temperature. But I don't have any windows I can open, and I can't stand the door open because technically I am supposed to be on the low. Some people leave their lights on over night so lights being on isn't strange. I try not to have them on super late. I wish I had just a lamp I could use. But Friday was blazing hot. The first really hot 90 something day. Inside the warehouse there is only one working fan. It's not enough. There is no way to put an A/C unit in because the windows don't open. So with the door closed it's easily 15 degrees hotter. I wanted to sleep with air or at least a window I could open. At 4pm I got someone on the line. It was D's secretary. She asked if she could have D call me back in 5. I said yes. I had to drive to pick up supplies, but I would be driving longer than 5 minutes. I take my phone with me into the place so I don't miss the call. I get back in the car and still no call. It's been at least a half an hour. I call back. D is gone for the day. For the weekend actually. Oh really? NICE! THATS AWESOME! It's not like anyone is homeless or anything. I mean SERIOUSLY?!!!! Sometimes I wonder if they even know what business they are in. I got overwhelmed with anger, and frustration. I just went limp. I thought about crying, but what good would that do? I felt hollow. Invisible. I pictured screaming and cursing at this woman. You have hot water, a shower, a toilet, air conditioning, a bed that isn't a blow up mat on the floor. I guess I should be grateful I don't have to sleep in my car. That my boss is cool with me crashing here. I just am starting to feel like people are figuring out that I am here. I didn't expect to be here as long as I have. Just a couple of days. It's been two going into three weeks. I feel embarrassed. Like something is wrong, and I can't fix it.
THis huRTS.
