It’s 12:23am, just past midnight.  Technically it’s February 3rd.  I worked my work job since 8 am (on the 2nd) and then went to an extra job until 11:30pm.   Essentially I worked 15 and a half hour day.  I walked up to my apartment and found a note scotch taped to my door.  It was the Manager leaving me a note, telling me I’m fired because, while they “appreciate all your hard work and everything you have done for the property, the property will be adjusting its needs.”

See, I don’t pay rent here, and in exchange I am their courtesy officer.  I walk the property at night, I do their monthly light check reports, I handle all the parking issues.   And, every time a resident calls the answering service to whine about a dog barking, a car alarm going off, an upstairs neighbor “walking too loud” or loud music and noises I get called.  3 to 5 times a week, sometimes twice a night, at all hours.  I’m woken up constantly with this stuff, all in exchange for rent.

Now I’m fired, so as I don’t work here I’m also essentially evicted.  she says I ‘still have the option of residing at Huebner Oaks,”  I just have to sign a lease and start paying rent (at a ridiculously overvalued rate) I just can’t afford right now.

As I plan to quit my job and leave the state in April you would imagine I wouldn’t care much, and I wouldn’t but a few Major problems.

#1 It’s February and Rodeo so I’m going to be working 15 hour days for about 20 of the next 27 days, leaving me almost no time to look for a new place, pack and move.

#2 Even if I can find the time (and energy) to do it, I need to find a month to month lease, which will probably cost me as much as staying here, but I can’t sign a 12 month lease here.

#3 I am already behind budget financially since the NBA cut half the season, and thusly my pay. Now this unexpected expense 56 days, no 55 days before I’m going to be unemployed is going to hurt.

I’d like to say I can’t believe this Bitch didn’t have the audacity to call me and tell me face to face, but I’m not.  She’s a total bitch, and her entire staff hates her.  She’s fired several maintenance men, and at least 10 different leasing agents in the 14 months she’s been here.  She has never responded to a single e-mail or safety issue I’ve raised since she came.  I’ve been on pins and needles thinking she was wanting to get rid of me for a year.

Sigh… I don’t need this right now.  At least it’s another sign telling me I DO need to get the hell out of this place.  San Antonio has had this awful, negative cloud over me and my family for quite some time.  More motivation to pack it up and find a new chance at life.
