Day #8. Sucks.
It's been a rough 5 days. I'm tired of water problems and torn up carpeting. My bathroom, hallways and closets in my apartment flooded Saturday while I was at work. Thought maintenance had the problem fixed, carpet dried out and reinstalled monday evening. Tuesday, my only day off this week I spent my morning trying to fix the disaster created by having to empty out my kitchen pantry closet, all 8' ft of it and 75% of all my food and dishes. No sooner do I get it all back together and I feel MORE water coming up through the carpet. Maintenance comes, pulls up the carpet, again, snakes the drains, again. Now I still haven't gotten half of the pantry closet off my kitchen countertops. I'm angry that I have to do it at all. I am angry that I can't just sit and think about Erin, write to Erin, worry about Erin. That was my plan, ya know. Just doesn't seem fair that I have all this other stuff to do, that wasn't even my fault.
During all this I am trying to keep tabs on the boards here. I saw that other girls who arrived the same day as Erin, well their boxes came 1-3 days before I got Erin's, some of you already got your form letters. No luck here. Her recruiter said she is in div 217. I haven't seen any other posts with 217 mentioned yet. I don't want to join the 7/13/12 PIR group yet because I don't know if I belong there. I was so hoping Erin would be in the same division as your girls that left 5/16. Very bummed about that. I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out why she isn't in the same division.
I hate not being in control.
Thanks for letting me vent. Now I am going to finish putting the rest of my kitchen stuff away and hope I don't have to drag it all out again.
