Peoii’s Place

You know, it seems like such a simple thing buying something… but then you buy something like a house, and you’ll never think the same way again. Yea, I know it’s a big purchase, and yea, I know I’m a first time buyer. But I expect certain things to simply happen without when they say they’re going to. Allow me to explain:

About a month ago, I signed paperwork to purchase a house. It was time, and I needed to do this for myself. “WOOHOO!” I was thinking, hey, I’m gonna have my own place under my own rules, and on my own time. That’s a major accomplishment knowing that I could actually do this. Then came the loan thing, and yea, I needed a co-signer, but you know what? So do 90%+ of the people who purchase their first house. So yes, I needed one, and my grandmother volunteered to do so almost immediately (even while I was asking others). We got the paperwork they said they needed in, and then a period of silence came about.

Now see, it’s this silence period that is the fuel for my anger… There were, I kid you not, 2 weeks where I had almost 0 contact from my realtor or my loan officer. That would have been absolutely fine, except for the events of the last week. Then all of the sudden, like a wildfire finally getting fuel, they asked for a TON of paperwork, most of which they knew would take some time to aquire. So here I am, on Friday, the day I was supposed to sign and take posession of the house, and I’m at the same house I’ve been at for a couple years now with nothing accomplished. I changed my work schedule to sign today because I didn’t get to pick the signing time, and no one could even have the courtesy to tell me that it was cancelled.

So I come to find out, that not only is it delayed because of that additional paperwork (which I got in the day it was requested by some miracle), but the owner of the house isn’t even OUT YET! What the hell is going on? People sign into agreements then don’t follow thru on their end of it? This is, for lack of a better term, bullshit, and I’m really getting tired of it.

If I’ve suddenly dropped off the face of the planet with my emails, now ya’ll know why… I’ve been dealing with this crap, and right now, I’m probably not the best company in the world. At any rate… does this happen to everyone? Or has anyone else dealt with something like this? Please share, I’d hate to be the only person in the world having to put up with this.

Anyway, before I explode, I’m gonna go log into the World of Warcraft and kill some stuff. Who knows, maybe it’ll relax me.

More later.

Okay, yea, you have GOT to see this one. I’m a firefox fan, and you should be too by now if you’re viewing this website. This was one of the great submissions for a Firefox commercial over at Firefox Flicks, and is most certainly worth your 30 seconds to watch. So go ahead, click away, and laugh your heart out.

Just thought I’d post a quick update as to my disappearance. I’ve bought a house, and am getting ready for the closing/etc of it. What’s the best part about it? I have a house. What’s the worst? All this pre-junk. Packing, sorting, dealing with various amounts of misc crap. And to top it all off, I wasted today, because as I was heading out to work on the garage, I rolled my ankle, and it’s been throbbing all day. Eh, such is life, and I’ll find another time to get this stuff done.

Happy Easter folks! I hope everyone had a great day, and if nothing else, atleast didn’t become a boob and hurt themselves like I did.

I’ll be posting more once the move is complete. Til then.
