First Encounter with My Landlord


Today, I decided that I don't really like my landlord very much.  I know I am breaking my once a month trend, but whatever, I just felt like venting a little.

I mean before I was kind of apathetic, since I didn't really know the guy, but now I can firmly say, I don't really like him.  Anyways, here is my story:
This afternoon, I did some studying, and some other stuff.  After getting off the phone with my friend, and arranging to eat dinner with him and a group of people in another hour and a half, I still felt a little tired, so I took a nap on my sofa.

An hour later, I woke up with this somewhat aged, white-bearded, thin man standing over me.  I am a little confused, and groggy.  He talks to me cheerfully.

"Hello? Hello? Hi, I am here to show some people the apartments.  I put a notice on your door this morning at 8:30.  Did you see it?"

"I'm sorry, no."

"So you did not leave your apartment all day?"

I didn't really have a reason to leave my apartment today.  I had leftovers in the fridge for lunch, and I didn't have any errands to run this weekend.

"No, I didn't."

"Oh, well, I am showing some people your apartment today, they may move in next semester."

Wait... so you woke me up for this?  Couldn't you see that I am sleeping?  You could have at least slipped the notice under the door.

So, immediately after that, four girls walk in behind him.  He turns to them.

"Hey this guy didn't leave his apartment all day.  He just slept." (laughs)

I kind of like how he refers to me as 'this guy'.  Names aren't important as long as you have a number to tag on them.

I felt a little awkward, and he just laughed at me for staying in my apartment all day, or assumed that all I do is sleep (Man swift justice should come in the form of lightening).  I didn't know what to say after that, I mean, he is my landlord right?  So, I assume I should be respectful and let him do what he needs to do now.  I really want to kick him out, but well, he is my landlord right?

So, after that, I didn't talk much.  He basically came in, showed them the rooms, and then decided to show them my room in particular.  In fact, of the 4 bedroom apartment, with only one bedroom actually occupied, he decided to choose my room to sit in to talk to them about the state of the apartment, and answer other questions they had.

I called up my friend to tell him I would be late, because really, these people are just strangers to me, and I don't want to leave them here with just all my stuff lying around.  I really didn't have time to clean up, or put my checkbook and other items in a more secure place.  I am sure they wouldn't take my stuff, but having strangers just in my apartment makes me feel a bit uneasy.

So they continued to talk for about 45 minutes, and walk around the apartment, poke around and all.  I was pissed.

I tried not to pay attention to them most of the time, but still kept an eye out to see what they were doing.

After they finished, the landlord, still cheerful, says to the girls, "Well, I guess we should let the tenant get back to his nap."

He turns to me and says, "Thanks for letting us look around."

Yeah, thanks for learning my name and respecting my space you asshole.

I ended up not eating with my friend, mainly because they spent so much time in my apartment that by the time I left, the group of people I was suppose to meet up with already finished eating.

I was pissed.  I didn't even get a proper apology out of this.  Why are people such a disappointment?

My Summer

Well, I have been living in an apartment in champaign, and programming for this professor, while I do some personal studies.  That is essentially my summer in a nutshell.  The weather has been real nice, its not too hot lately.  Although, the past week it was blazing hot, 90 to 95 degrees, though feeling like at least 100 because of the humidity.

I live in a four bedroom apartment by myself.  I don't see people around as often as I would like to.  I guess it is 'cause we don't all live together that close.  I should put more of an effort to visit, though I guess I am afraid of making people feel like I am clingy.  It has been awhile since I had a roommate I guess.

Another interesting conversation I had.  This beats out all the other conversations.

These are just a couple of random conversations I had with a couple of friends.

My parents say I joke around too much, though I don't really think I do.  Generally, I am fairly serious unless I am in a good mood.  It helped liven up my day after all the pressures of work and such.
