boho boo boo
i should have seen it coming, but i trusted that my loopy, flaky housemate would at least have enough sense of responsibility to pay the bills. but boho that she is (and not that there's anything wrong with being boho of course), she owes the utilities company 700 and the landlord/management 3000 (not this month's balance mind you, but outstanding dues for months now). i JUST found out last night because she's on vacation and asked me to send a check to the utilities and phone companies to avoid turn offs at either. she also asked me to wire the money over for the apt management so they won't kick us out. but imagine my shock when i saw how much she actually owed!! i called the utilities people and managed to get them to keep it running til jan when she gets back. i have no idea what she's going to do to pay it all off, but i don't think i'm going to stick around to see...taking some good advice, i am going to leave before she gets back so i won't get sucked into paying another month's rent and having to deal with her whining about her financial situation.
she has a second job which she can easily go to and earn 200 a night, but i've only seen her go twice. she always says she can't afford this and that, but i mean, don't fucking complain and go work your butt off instead of your mouth. the problem is that i've paid her a 1000 in security and there is no way she can afford to pay me back because she also has installments to pay for her grand piano and other loans she's mentioned. two weeks before her vacation, i reminded her to get her tickets. she kept pushing it back until just two days before and ended up paying an exhorbitant amount. and of course she said, "oh dear, that made me very broke. i have no money left." well dear, if you had gotten them when i had checked, they would have cost you a fifth of the price. then the day she was supposed to leave, she lost her passport and was crying and panicking hours before her flight. (lucky thing some good samaritan found it and returned it in the nick of time).
you'd think that at 41, one would have paid enough bills to grasp the concept of "on time" and "in the right amount". but seems like my roommate is really a 21 year old with a wrinkly face. to be fair, she is a good natured lady and has been rather nice to me, up until i found out about all this crap.
so i guess that answers my question from a blog long ago why i could never be a real boho.
