Just waiting

June 2nd, 2009 at 11:33 pm

I was supposed to hear from the apartment complex yesterday about the applications my boyfriend and I dropped off. Still no word from them. If I don't hear from them by the time they close tonight I am going to call them tomorrow morning.

I am terrible at being patient. And I'm getting myself a little worked up over the application and how long it is taking them. Why is it taking them so long? What if they don't accept us? We need an apartment by the end of July- what if we can't find one? All of these "What if?"s are running through my head and driving me crazy. I am worried.

I'm driving my boyfriend nuts because of my worries- he's even telling me to stop worrying (he has OCD and worries about everything) about it and relax.

Ugh. I hate waiting.

Ok, onto other stuff. I've been doing some online window shopping of stuff I would like to get for the apartment but I really need to get my mind off of that right now.

Today I took my car into the mechanic. I got a lube,oil, and filter and tire rotation for $60. They also checked the brakes and the steering and everything else. Everything checked out just fine.

Payday is Friday. That's also the only day I work this week. I have an essay due next week so I am glad I can devote the weekend to working on it. I believe this Friday is also boyfriend's first payday at his new job. He likes working there. I miss him, especially when I'm studying for a test and I want to cuddle while reading. Oh well. It's worth it.

I've been wanting to go on a bike ride the past few days but have been unable to because of the weather. Our weather is unpredictable and the past few days we've had a lot of rain. Half the time it's drizzling and the other half it's pouring incredibly hard. And it changes every five minutes.

    yeah waiting is no fun, but sometimes we have no choice. maybe they are running a background check. hope you get the apartment.

    lol - you remind me of me and my friend. she also has ocd, and cometimes tells me to calm down. it's an odd role-reversal.
    i completely understand the anxiety over rental applications. the whole idea that you may be out on the street stresses you out big time - it made me sick to my stomach and i could not eat or sleep, i would just sit there stressing about it.
    real estates (here anyway) take their sweet time about it, and can be such A-holes. but, from experience, everything will work itself out. i can't tell you to stop worrying because it wouldn't have done anything if someone told me that a year ago, but just know that it WILL be ok. even if you don't get this one, you WILL get another.

    Thanks, whitestripe. Smile I know that everything will work out fine and that we'll probably be approved but there's still this nagging feeling. It's hard to hush that voice sometimes. I have no idea how long applications for an apartment usually take to go through so that's a major reason for my worry. I think I would be considerably less worried if I had done this before and knew what to expect.

    Casssandra applications for apartments can take anywhere from two days to an entire week or two just depends on the turn around time for you verifications. Sometime's your job's payroll department can be the problem or sometimes your bank (depends where your moving) It took my apartment complex two weeks to be approved. Usually its a good thing most of the time if your not approved you'll know right away as they won't proceed any further in processing and verifying your information on your application.

    That is a huge relief smiley2009! So the longer the better... I can accept that. I think I will call sometime today just to check on the status though.

    Why would they have to contact the payroll department? They have our pay stubs. Do they need to verify how much we make a month or something else?
