My first roommate posting
Posted my first roommate-getting ad on Craigslist today.
So far I've had emails from:
1) a graphic design student going to Bauder, which, I'm sorry... my old office was next to the campus, and, no, just... no. Plus, I really want to live with a student brimming with emoticons!11!!1!.
Bless her heart.
2) a 36-year-old guy moving here from Chicago, who mentions rather ominously "...gotten myself in a bit over my head, long
story there.". Oh, that's not scary.
3) a self-described Neo-con, which, no. Especially as I specifically mentioned in my ad "No homophobes, bad tippers or conservatives." (What?) He actually sounded the best of everyone so far (!!), but I ain't having a W sticker parked in front of my house. I have standards. :)
oh, and the freakiest:
4) "I was on craigs list and saw your advertisement. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME ALL THE TIME GOOD IS GOOD I just got married less than a week ago...".
Dude.
One, a couple... no. Two, a newlywed couple? no, and no. That's who you want to live with when you're going through a damn divorce. And the most disturbing is obviously that this woman has Tourette's about God. Eek.
I'll post more as they come in. I'm almost enjoying it until I think that I MIGHT HAVE TO CHOOSE FROM THESE PEOPLE.
I'm taking a break from my totally-starting-over-from-scratch logo project, because the client wants everything to look like stuff that they've already done but didn't bother to mention that in the creative brief. (We love it! Now change everything!) I love doing stuff twice! Especially when my next already-on-a-tight-schedule project is getting pushed back so I can finish dealing with the logo schmutz, which means I'll have to crank the next 'un out at a superhuman speed. I'm pretty speedy when I have to be, but day-um... that's not maintainable. I get cranky, even for me.
