This house is a cancer

As if I didn't have enough bullshit to deal, the fuckin house just won't away. Very much like the garlic aftertaste, or better yet the persistent aftertaste of a cigar after you've already finished it a day or two earlier. No amount of brushing or rinsing fully gets rid of the leftover notes that linger.

The house was supposed to close on January 14th. Everything had been cleared out prior to that, so it was more than ready for the new owner to move in. That day passed because the banks were dragging their asses. No one could get a straight answer from anyone. I'm sitting around here, with the "what the fuck," attitude the whole time.

The realtor tells me, it'll be another week while the bank approves the 2nd loan. (This is a short sale, I'm not making anything on it, so the bank is taking it in the shorts, basically.....fuck'em I don't care).

So that week goes by, with the understanding that the hard out date for all the docs to be signed was on the 24th. I'm expecting to have everything ready to go, and ready to get over this.......uhh nope. Bank still dragging ass on the 2nd loan.

Finally get an update today. Finally got the approval, it was faxed over to my lender, now the lender is saying that because it went beyond the hard date, that it needs to go to a special committee, for the decision. I've got news for you, committee, "FUCK YOU!!"

Realtor calls back and says that we may have docs in hand to sign tomorrow, and that this could close by this Wednesday or Thursday, he also said that he called the bank to get an extension, for next week. What the fuck for? If you have the docs, why would you wait another week, asshole! I responded by saying that I will be out of town on vacation, and that I will not be standing by any f'n computer, fax machine, none of that. We get this shit done now!

Absolute bullshit! I just want to f'n carpet bomb the place. I've absolutely had enough with this shit.

So..................how was your day?

Crossroads

I haven't posted here in a while. I've gone through a lot lately, both personally, financially, and professionally, and it has taken some time to get back into the swing of things and get back on track. Everyday that I get up the path gets clearer, and things just happen to drop themselves into place, unlike 2010 which was a struggle all around.

In summary, I lost my job, started the process of losing my house, and my close relationships have suffered. The house as it stands is a cancer that refuses to go away. The bank is holding up the sale. It was supposed to close on Jan. 14th, it's now Jan 30th, and I really could give a fuck about it. The house has been empty and cleared out for almost a month now.

I've been going to counseling to cope with all the shit that has been thrown at me, and most recently started going to church again. It has helped, though I'm not entirely comfortable with the setting still. I've been out of the church for so long. I was mainly a wedding/baptism/funeral guy. I haven't been to any of those in a while.

Though it has taken some time, everything is back on the up swing. The tail end of 2010 started to show this. I've passed a few exams, for my job, I'm moving up pretty quick, and soon I'll have a project management spot under my belt.

I've met some cool people at the church that I've been going to. I've been going alone so far. There are quite a bit of young adults that go on their own as well, close to, if not just a lil older than myself, aside from families and the regular crowd. We'll get together afterwards and talk.

Funny how the right people come into my life at the wrong time. That's it for now.
