Oh nerds, I have had a week of a week. Frist off; house keeping. I got the job in Vancouver and my last day at Camel Town was yesterday. I start in Van in 7 days.
Now for my week of weeks,
While still interviewing find the Perfect Place to live. A 2 bedroom condo in my price range available in time for my start date. Stop looking for other places.
Get job offer, tell new landlord to move forward, get emails from his rental company, look up rental company and see it is a real one that exists.
Make plans with Sister to transport Ianto and I to Vancouver. Sister's partner takes a day off work to help.
Send deposit of 3400CAD to rental company [deposit consists of 1 month rent 1700, and two damage deposits - one for Ianto -totalling 1700]. Normal and legal in Canada. Most places just ask for one of the deposits but not illegal.
Do all that by Friday [9th]
Walking Ianto at 6;30am on Monday 12th - 4 days before planned move in date - and get email from rental company asking for another deposit of 3400 as 'insurance' because they have been 'having issues with transactions from Canada and the United States'. Will not send keys and paperwork before getting the additional funds.
Think for a minute and reply something like 'Landlord and I agreed on 3400, which you have just confirmed you received. Please send the keys etc asap.'
Alarmingly quickly Landlord [not company] emails me to say company got in touch with him and this is their policy. He will give me 20 per cent off rent for first 6 months if I just send the money. [This is the first red flag I actually notice]. I replythat I am moving in 4 days and if the transaction takes as long as the first one, I won't have anywhere to live but be out a fuckton of money.
Calll my parents. It's 6;30 in BC but they are visiting Ontario where its 9;30. Not worried about waking them. Mum immediately offers to transfer the money for me because part of the issue is that I have to move money around to get that much which takes up to 48 hours. I cut her off and say 'I feels scammy' which dad agrees with.
Dad is a retired real estate agent, gets in contact with folk in BC a few hours later while I go to work and freak out [had already packed my anxiety meds... not fun]. Turns out 'Landlord' doesn't have title for the condo.
Also Rental Company email is very obvious fake. I googled the company but didn't check the email. Like a fool.
Tell 'landlord' that I cannot move that amount of money in the time allotted and would like my deposit back please [didn't expect to get it back but... its the presidency.]
Looked for another rental. Found one that wasn't dog friendly. Ianto is a service dog but is not yet certified to BC standards. Thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Called and was very frank; just got scammed, moving at end of week for work, have a dog. She gave me a short list of other rentals she knew accept dogs because she could not allow Ianto before his test.
Contacted a few, Ianto was too big for a few, filled out an application to one, and got a virtual tour set up for the other [this takes us to Tuesday].
Tuesday email my contact at job in Vancouver to let her know that I might not be able to start on the 22nd because no home. She [witn permission] then contacts my board to let them know. One has a line on an apartment.
Discover my mattress is very mouldy.
Application denied with no option to contest, virtual tour cancelled because property manager got sick and couldn't reschedule until this coming Monday.
Call my bank about the scam. They start an investigation which will take about 10 days and cancel my debit card because... I don't know. [bringing us to the end of Wednesday]
Application to board member's suggestion accepted. Need to pay the down payment which is just one of the damage deposits. They take in-person payments or money orders. Because my card is currently... gone. I cannot do online or app banking. Would have to do in-person or phone. Nearest branch to me is 2 hours away by car and I don't drive. Try calling. It takes over an hour to discover that because of the investigation I cannot get a money order done via the phone. Because that would be too easy.
Call my parents - they were busy - texted my brother. Asking both if they could help. Brother puts me in contact with his partner who would have their car tomorrow at the same time my parents offer to do a money order for me. Get the address etc from new rental company [legit]. Send confirmation.
Move in date is [probably] Saturday.
So, a very week of a week if I do say so myself and it's not over yet. I need to finish packing still [wall art, blankets, the last of Ianto's stuff and odds-and-ends]. Still need to get there. Chance the Money Order won't get there in time - as it has to go from Ontario to BC and tomorrow is Friday. but... Better position by miles than on Monday.
There is a small chance my bank can get my money back but.... Unlikely and it was a painful lot of money to say the least.

okay, TO BE FAIR:
My body makes mucus to transport all of the nasty stuff out AND prevent more viruses and bacteria to penetrate my weakened defenses, AND its a side-effect of my immune system getting where its needed AND there is probably some stuff in there that is important for something else (I am sorry that lecture was years ago and my brain is a bit mush) something something body is helping and is doing a great job at keeping both of us alive!
I gladly give it more fluids for more mucus. Even if I hate every second of it (and most of the fluids go to the bladder anyway)
It's important to drink a lot of fluids when you're sick so that your body has the raw materials to generate gallons of snot.

Yes you’re not fatphobic but are you capable of talking about fat people in a positive manner without saying somft/round/rotund/squishy/tumby/chumby/any other variation of the sort. Are you capable of talking about us in a positive manner without it being about beauty or attractiveness. Are you able to talk about fat people in general without being dehumanizing or infantilizing. Can you treat fat people with respect.

FINISHED!!! I've been going insane trying to draw this over the past week. I love how ryuji and yusuke are super impulsive... passing the impulse control back and forth lol
I don’t think yusuke would throw the *first* punch, but I think there are some situations where ryuji would back down and yusuke would throw down. like, ryuji would argue back and forth and then try to leave, but yusuke would keep arguing until the other person takes a swing. “While I abhor the idea of senseless violence, certain people simply refuse to see reason”… is the kind of thing I think he’d say. remorseless lol. which would lead into ryuji being like “dude you just punched a guy out, I don’t think you get to say that.”
also, yusuke's punching with his left hand so his art hand remains uncompromised. Very Important Detail
