Not many of years ago, I accepted a new task position that required me to move across the country.
I had honestly little option to put in notice at my former task, pack up my possessions & relocate.
There was no time to tour apartments or be certain about my living situation. I went on Craig’s List & found someone who was looking for a roommate. The location of the condo appeared to be less than a ten minute drive to my new task, so I signed a rental agreement. The pictures of the living space were quite misleading. I was surprised by the age & condition of the property. I didn’t realize that I’d need to climb a steep set of stairs every time I came & went. It has taken me a while to settle in & get accustomed to my new roommate. While he’s a honestly nice guy & fun to hang out with, he’s a slob. He leaves dirty laundry & dishes everywhere. He spends the majority of his time sitting on the couch, watching television. However, my roommate comes in honestly handy when there is a concern with the heating or cooling system. Because the packaged machine is seriously aged, it has some complications. Calling the property manager is pointless; No one responds & repairs are never made. If not for my roommate, we’d be without heat in the winter time & without air conditioner in the summer. In the middle of December, when nothing but cold air pours from the vents, my roommate heads outside with his toolbox. Within a few minutes, the condo is toasty hot again. The a/c likes to quit completely when the heat & humidity of June are honestly brutal. Whether the malfunction occurs in the middle of the evening or first thing in the afternoon, my roommate never complains. He just fixes the problem.
