He's actually a not bad stand up comedian. Probably just takes the jobs he has now because it pays more. Kind of why Kevin Pollak is better known as an actor now a days instead of one of the best comedians and Impressionists in the fucking game.

I'll leave it to someone else to find the most appropriate image macro here.

My landlady just told me I have to be out of the house by July 31st.

And my budget's so tight I can't afford to pay rent here and give first/last to a new place.

Why do you have to leave? :(

Büge · « **Reply #2764 on:** April 30, 2012, 05:01:15 AM »

Because she only wants full-time students to rent here.

Is this a "not renewing the lease" situation, or an eviction?

August 1st would still leave her with a boatload of time to rent to students and July 1st is too late to rent to summer folks anyway, so she's just throwing rent away by kicking you out that early. If she's not too much of a See-You-Next-Tuesday, see if you can ask nicely for an extra month to figure things out.

Sort of both.

I'd post multiple times to indicate a lengthly period expanding more than just a day but I thought we had a thread for that but who knows

Repeated nightmares, mental breakdowns, injuring myself more than normal over hte past few weeks and I'm doing so poorly in school I'm looking at dropping classes due to doing so badly by midterm it becomes physically impossible for me to get a passing grade.

I take it that you're past the "no penalty" drop date?

A² · « **Reply #2770 on:** April 30, 2012, 10:49:38 AM »

According to the school schedule, the "Drop Deadline" was back at the start of the month, but the "Withdrawl deadline" is in June. So yes and no.

Classic · « **Reply #2771 on:** April 30, 2012, 11:53:04 AM »

Withdrawals show up on transcripts and sometimes take some sort of dean action. So it's not ideal.
I don't know if it's better at your university to withdraw and retake, or fail and retake.

I've dropped classes due to stress. It happens, but it is a huge giant pain in the ass, both toward your progress and monetarily. If you can, I'd suggest maybe talking with your professors or TAs about how you still want to finish the class, and seeing what they have to say about helping you get by. College grades can often be shockingly flexible.

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #2773 on:** April 30, 2012, 04:44:08 PM »

Also, the student health center or whatever your university calls it should have people you can talk to, who are usually a good resource for these kinds of situations. It happens more often than you might think.

That was only one month.

I spent my first paycheck at my new job replacing the brakes and suspension. I started March 2nd.

It isn't enough that I can't afford to move out. Today I found out my bike has flat tire when I was going to go shopping for food. So I had to take the backup bike, which I learned was about 2/3 the size of my normal bike. I get to the store and buy some bread and when I get on the bike, I find out it has a flat tire too.

Classic · « **Reply #2778 on:** May 03, 2012, 03:21:27 PM »

Well, unless it's a left-handed tire, you could cannibalize the bike you like least for its tire!

Büge · « **Reply #2779 on:** May 03, 2012, 05:59:16 PM »

R^2, I'd like to apologize to you for any time I made light of your problems. You handled it with a lot more grace and good humour than I could.
