Blah. Apartment hunting sucks.
Backstory: Our LL is having financial problems and is moving back into the apartment we live in. This is good news (we aren't fighting it) because we can get away from our hateful downstairs neighbors and hopefully find a better place. There is financial incentive to get out by the end of the month, but we technically have until the end of November. So I'm in a bit of a mad rush to find a new place . . .
Well, we saw the first place today and I'm just . . . . bummed.
The apartment looked so promising in the photos, but I get there and it's just . . . kind of a dump. It's gigantic (like 230 m2!), but it's all wasted space - like it has a giant great room with two dining tables (why?), but a dorm room kitchen. Supposed to be 2 BR, but the 2nd is really a closet off the kitchen. Plus, we're renting furnished and it was all this dated, inlaid Chinese rosewood. Construction going on right next door. Blah.
I feel like I'm never going to find a nice place to live.
Cross your fingers for me for Thursday. We're going on a whirlwind tour of apartments with another agent, so I hope I find something I can deal with.

So, was today the agent who never calls you back and Thurs is the cool swish new dude? I hope so! And he better have a clue and show you the awesomest of awesomedom.
Of course hubby can suck it up and get a car and you can move here.
You got it in one, smartie. I hope he's got his crap together.
BTW, we have a car (that we keep parked at the office and never use). I would SO want to be your neighbor (can you even imagine the craziness?). I would rid you of your JW doorknocker in a heartbeat, haha.
On the other hand, though, you have CIRCLE PARTIES. And that's just scary.

You are soooo Dutchified! I can't even handle the Celsius, LOL. People are like, "It's 19 degrees out."
And I go into a tailspin. "What's 19 degrees? Is it hot? Is it cold? Do I need a sweater? Or maybe a sleeveless shirt? Or long underwear? Or a hat? What does it even MEAN?!? TELL ME RIGHT NOW WHAT IT MEANS OR I KILL YOU RAAAAAAAAWWWWWWR!!111!!
PS - I think it's, like 66 in REAL temperature.
Everything is set in C (phone, thermostat on the radiators, oven, etc). I don't know what it means emotionally (like I know what 70 or 85 or 142 mean in F very quickly) but I know what it means sweater wise.
SNORT!!!! OMG, that is HILARIOUS...Zwigs, you are killing me here! I almost just peed myself reading that!

Oh my, you are too funny!
It took me ages to sort it out. For a quick conversion, you can double the Celsius and then add 30. Its only an approximate but at least it will give you an idea. So 19 x 2= 38 + 30 = 68. Not perfect but close, and easy enough to do in your head.
