MOVING DAY!! (repost)

As my first post I thought I would clue everyone into what's going on in my world here in Los Alamos. This is a repost from my MySpace blog from last week.

MOVING DAY!!! Current mood: irate

"Some people think a lot more of themselves than they really need to. I'm just sayin'." - Julie Green
I don't think I could have said it better myself. We have one of those people in our current apartment building & that is causeing a HUGE problem. A little background: this building is very old & was former military housing with very thin walls. For the most part this building is quiet & most everyone leaves to go to work during the day. That is the really good part because I don't have to worry so much about how much noise we make during the day. I know my oldest is LOUD. We try to curb it as best we can but he's 4 & has been stuck in this small apartment for most of the day. And that is where part of our problems begin, I guess someone has complained about his noise level. I totally understand the complaint. Well everything came to a head yesterday morning & it really was not pretty. First of all, our landlord knocked on the door @ around 11 am & asked to speak to me in the hallway. He had several complaints that he wanted to talk to me about.
1. The dirt that comes off of Danny's boots is all over the hallway from the entrance door all the way to our apartment door. (Well, he's not the only one that tracks dirt in & should not be singled out for it!) (Also, if he noticed this before, why wait, why not say something sooner?)
2. Eric's noise level. Like I said I guess someone has complained. (I soooo understand this one & can't believe it took so long for someone to say something.)
3. (This one is the kicker!) Aparently Danny is "intimidating" another tennant in the building. (How the hell is he doing it?) (I think the person that is making this complaint also complained about a neighbor whose little girl was crying ONE night, when she had an ear infection. She & her mother were here visiting for a few days & this guy made a big old stink about it!! A$$HOLE!)

I was told Danny "stomped his feet in front of this person's apartment like a 5 year old the other day." WTF!!! The landlord went on to tell me that "he was not going to loose a good, long term tennant over a bad tennant." Again WTF!! I've known Danny for a long time & if he was having a problem with anyone, I would be the first to know. Oh yeah, I was assured that I wasn't the problem, I was "as sweet as can be." Well DAMN, this guy doesn't know us at all!!!!!! He went on to tell me that he would document our conversation & put it in our file & that we were put on notice. What is that supposed to mean???? Well, when I called Danny & told him what was going on you can guess he had a few choice words that I won't repeat. After we both vented a little we decided to find a new apartment & just get the hell out. Luck was on our side yesterday, I found an apartment, signed the lease & got our keys all by 5 pm Friday afternoon! Well newsflash landlord: YOU ARE GOING TO LOOSE GOOD TENANTS OVER A BAD TENANT!! The more I mull everything over the more I think the a$$hole could have handled the situation better. Rather than attacking me & calling Danny a 5 year old, he could have tried to figure out what was going on. The man didn't want to hear a word I had to say, he had already made up his mind. I stood there & listened, in shock. Oh well, his loss. Our new apartment is MUCH bigger & a lot quieter. Yes, it is more per month but it's a 2 bedroom & a real kitchen. And yes, it is unfurnished but we are closer to the library, the pool & the movies!! I really am trying to see the good side of all of this but this has irked me quite a bit! Oh well a-holes will be a-holes, right?
