stupid people are everywhere.

Today I've experienced a double dose of people who didn't do their jobs in time.

1) The property manager for my Brooklyn apartment was due to send me paperwork for final signoff YESTERDAY, but she never did. When I emailed her about it, she had a totally different story.

Original story:

• I can end my lease if I find someone to take it over for me
• That person would have to pass a credit check and approval
• That person and I would independently work out the financials of the security deposit and first month's rent
• That person and I would independently determine the lease-start and move-in dates.

New story:

• My lease ends on a date identified by my request in writing.
• My security deposit will be returned to me.
• The new tenant will pay their own security deposit.
• The new tenant will pay first month's rent.
• The new tenant will start a new lease for one year.

2) The HR department finally got around to reading my letter of resignation that I submitted nearly two weeks ago. There's an issue, apparently, with an end date of 11/23. I actually had to write a NEW letter of resignation with a NEW end date. I opted for an Addendum (we're fond of that word around here) indicating a final date of 11/16. If I had my way, I'd be outta here RIGHT NOW.

Seriously. Why are there so many dumb people in this world?
