Yikes! Work today starts at five and I'm supposed to meet some dude at 722 Connor Street in Joplin today to look at an apartment at freaking FOUR! Which means I may be cutting my timeframe a little close. I'll keep a good watch on it though, the time that is. I have a good internal clock and keep track of time pretty well (just buy a watch you dunce. I did... and I lost it, or it broke... one of the two, maybe both) ANYWAY. Even if I didn't have a great internal clock, I do have another gift that proves useful in such situations. I have the most amazing ability to sense when people are looking for me. Not the most common of supernatural attributes, but very potent. And a very responsible one come to think of it. I'll know the exact moment a customer at work becomes tired of waiting and moves to find me. I'll know the exact time that my mother wakes up and wonders where I am in the middle of the night. (Doesn't happen anymore, we came to an understanding about that. Simply- I come home whenever and lock the door, she doesn't wake up and drive around the nieghborhood looking for me at two AM. It's a wonderful system. Used to be I'd be out and somewhere around just after midnight she'd wake up and wonder if I was hope, make an ordeal out of it, and check to see if my car is outside. That's when my radar goes off, tells me that I'd better book it, and I get in the car and drive home just to pass her going to the other way on my road heading god-knows-where-she-thinks-she's-gonna-find-me in the middle of the night)

However intriguing my extra sensory perceptions may be though, its hardly the point. The point is that I have an appointment in less than an hour to see some guy at an apartment with two bedrooms. The basics looked good... I do hope they allow pets. How else will Arby be allowed to stay? The reason for this most ospicious adventure includes the retrieval of my paycheck from Best Buy. That happened today. I recieved the funds for all of my efforts in the past three weeks and it totalled to around 200 PER week, ending finally at some $610. Booyah. Not rolling in it of course, but enough to scrape out a decent living for my demographic. Which means I start apartment shopping. I called several residences and one very old guy told me I had the wrong number. I checked it, sure enough I did. Thank you and sorry. Click.

I do hope there's no tangle with credit. Being that I don't have credit and all that... I pay for everything in cash. Which only means I don't buy things that I don't have money for. Believe it or not, that isn't exactly normal these days. The best way to attain leniency in any monetary situation, is to develop a good natured and strong relationship with the guy that you owe. Like if I ever owed Arby money and I couldn't come up with it on the spot. Just a guess, but I don't think he'd evict me. Just as I would not evict him. Obviously. So, just a tip. An obvious one I think. Become good friends with everyone, and sooner or later, when you owe them something (not like anyone intends to fall into debt) at least then you'll get a little slack. ^_^

I'm off to see the apartment! Cheerio!
